Smithsonian Removes Reference to Trump’s Impeachments, but Says It Will Return
The Smithsonian Institution has removed references to President Trump's two impeachments from an exhibit on the American presidency. A Smithsonian spokeswoman stated that the exhibit was outdated and that a future display would include information on "all impeachments." The decision to remove the impeachment references has sparked some criticism, with concerns that it may be an attempt to downplay or erase a significant part of the country's political history. However, the Smithsonian has emphasized that the exhibit was in need of an update and that the information will be included in a future, more comprehensive display. The Smithsonian's move highlights the delicate balance between historical accuracy and the potential for political sensitivities when it comes to the presentation of recent and contentious events in the nation's history. The institution has promised to ensure that all impeachments, including those of President Trump, will be properly represented in future exhibits.
