WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House put no pressure on the Smithsonian Delete the reference President Donald Trump Two bullets each From the exhibit, he included in his updated presentation “in the coming weeks,” the museum said on Saturday.
revelation Trump The fact that it was no longer listed among the presidents who were fired up concerns History was whitewashed To appease the president.
“We were not asked by the administration or other government officials to remove content from the exhibition,” the Smithsonian statement said.
Museum spokesman Philip Zimmerman had previously pledged that “the future and updated exhibits will include all the bullet each,” but it was not clear when the new exhibit would be set up. Saturday’s museum had not said that new exhibits would be ready in the coming weeks.
The Trump bluff each was added to the National Museum for the American Historical Society’s Exhibition on the President of the United States in a section called “The Limits of Presidential Power” in 2021. This section includes documents on Presidents Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson’s ammo each, as well as the Watergate scandal that helped lead to President Richard Nixon’s resignation.
“The placards intended as temporary addition to the exhibition 25 years ago did not meet the standards for the museum’s exterior, location, timeline and overall presentation,” the statement said. “It didn’t match any other sections of the exhibition and also blocked views of objects within that case. For these reasons, we removed the placard.”
Trump is the only president to have been fired twice. In 2019, he pushed Ukrainian President Voldy Mee Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden, who would later defeat Trump in the 2020 presidential election. And in 2021, “instigating riots” is a reference to the January 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol building by Trump supporters seeking to suspend Biden’s Congress certification.
The House of Representatives’ democratic majority voted for each bullet each. The Republican-led Senate acquitted Trump every time.
