Trump is forcing the Smithsonian to remove references to his impeachments in an exhibit discussing impeachments.
(I am citing to the Irish Star so I can provide a link to the story other than the Washington Post, which is the original source.) Per the Irish Star,
References to Donald Trump's two impeachments have been stripped from an exhibit at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
A source with knowledge of the exhibit plans told the Washington Post that the modification occurred during a content review the Smithsonian agreed to conduct after White House pressure to oust an art museum director.
Trump is forcing a world-leading museum to rewrite American history to conceal his disgrace. Trump is out of touch with reality. And the Smithsonian has just destroyed its reputation as a trusted source for interpreting US history. What a disgrace.
The Smithsonian says that it will “update” the exhibit at some point in the future. Spare us, please! We know that the update will attempt to minimize, exonerate, and excuse the underlying criminal behavior that resulted in Trump's two impeachments.
