Smithsonian removes Trump from impeachment exhibit in American History Museum
Source: Washington Post
The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in July removed references to President Donald Trump’s two impeachments from an exhibit display. A person familiar with the exhibit plans, who was not authorized to discuss them publicly, said the change came about as part of a content review that the Smithsonian agreed to undertake following pressure from the White House to remove an art museum director.
A temporary label including content about Trump’s impeachments had been on display since September 2021 at the Washington museum, a Smithsonian spokesperson told The Washington Post, adding that it was intended to be a short-term addition to address current events. Now, the exhibit notes that “only three presidents have seriously faced removal.”

Now that display has returned to the way it appeared in 2008, according to the Smithsonian spokesperson.

Note that the exhibit had not named Presidents who had been impeached prior to September 2021, and that the exhibit was restored to that lack of names. IOW,
LIEden's minions had added Trump's name as an act of partisan mockery.

He doesn't like that bit of history, so it has to disappear.
If "bits of history" matter, why did the exhibit lack the facts that Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson had been impeached? Why was only Donald Trump named?

2. The fast slide to autocracy. This sucks to put it mildly.

Restoring the exhibit to its original state is "autocracy"?

Erasing anything that displeases Dear Leader...
Stooopid question time, Is there evidence that Trump even knew the exhibit had been changed, let alone ordered it?

4. I wonder if they have destroyed all the Congressional records of his two impeachments.

It wouldn't surprise me if he did.
An honest DU-Denizen willing to risk being tomb-stoned would have called out this little gem-turd of stupidity.

In real life, a Trump-Hating stooge at National Archives negotiated with Trump in bad faith to set up the FBI raid on MaL.
