The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, the institution responsible for preserving American history, caved to the White House after being pressured by the Trump administration and removed references to his two impeachments. While rewriting history, the exhibit now states that "only three presidents have seriously faced removal," referring to Johnson, Nixon, and Clinton. As a result, the exhibit now resembles its appearance in 2008. We're sure Trump's peanut butter brain feels vindicated after his humiliating two impeachments -- but it still happened. Trump is the only president in US history to be impeached twice.
A source told The Washington Post that 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.
The Washington Post reports:
After this story published, the Smithsonian said in a statement that "a future and updated exhibit will include all impeachments."
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."
