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.”

Might as well stop the whole operation then. A museum’s most precious good is its credibility. If visitors can’t trust that the information you present is factual, why should they visit?
Even if part of your funding is at risk, is this worth it? Cut costs, do a fundraiser, forego pay of leadership personnel, if you need to, but without credibility, you’re no longer running a museum but a theme park.
Who controls the past now, controls the future.
Who controls the present now, controls the past.
Not too long in the future:
The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.
Also from 1984 by George Orwell
That book, along with Animal Farm, should be a mandatory book to read in school.
As of early-2000s, both novels were required reading in my high school central Texas curriculum.
Disgraceful.
You are a museum, a place to see history as it actually was. Caving to a dick-tator… Just wow…
Fuck if I’ll ever go to the Smithsonian after this. The Pedo is just going to pull your funding anyways so wtf???
I get it… put it back as soon as he’s gone. Hopefully it’ll be 3 or more by then, with a final successful one
Put it back as soon as he’s gone?
My dude. America has yet to put a single fucking thing back after a Republican takes it.
Abortions rights. Voting rights. Workers rights. Right to Healthcare. Right to education. Right to transparent government funding (Citizens United) Right to privacy (Patriot Act) Right to fair information. Right to have our taxes go towards social benefits rather than Reaganomics.
If you’re waiting for anything to change back, no matter how small, it’s not.
Fascism is there stay in America for decades to come.
Yeah… it sucks, and makes me want to scream
You get what?
Bro. He’s a child rapist. They’re not gonna impeach him. They’re not gonna remove him. He’s a child rapist and they’d all gladly lick his asshole live on the House floor.
the people funding trump, is also funding the gop, and DINOS.
Jesus fucking Christ, what is going on lately with people just buckling under the slightest amount of pressure from Trump? Fight back you goddamn pussies.
Seriously it’s so pathetic. People will just bend over and take it.
The world needs more asshole leftists who don’t take shit from anyone. Far too many dickheads are on the wrong side of the political spectrum.
It’s going to be fun rewriting history after this stupid bastard dies off. That day can’t come soon enough.
He might have created the movement, but the support of it didn’t magically appear. The truth is that this rhetoric and mindset never went away. Trump is an idiot that rallied them, imagine an intelligent person instead after him… I hope the next generations don’t follow what the dying out ones do
It won’t just be him. It’ll be everyone that was surrounding him or placed by this administration. The cancer runs deep and has metastasized.
The fucking fragility. Pathetic.
Sure would be funny if Smithsonian Patrons kept changing it back.
"Congress has only Impeached a President four times, 1/2 of them against the same President.’
Time to get that Streisand effect rolling!
Who were the snowflakes again?
Thereby literally rewriting history for the Cheeto
Man Americans are knee benders and ting kissers
People are surprised to find out that this is the reality under capitalism. When everything is tied to pandering to the upper class, you working class suckers always get the short end of the stick. Even when it comes to “liberal institutions”. If their profits are gone, they are gone. Their existence is intrinsically tied to pandering to the upper class. This is why capitalism is intrinsically fascistic.
How delicate do you have to be to deny reality so routinely?
Trump-level delicate

Turning the Smithsonian into the Time Masheen from idiocracy
Never thought I’d see the day when the Smithsonian would lose all its credibility. Bootlickers and cowards.
Yep, totally normal thing to do, nothing to see here folks. There are no Epstein files…
