Key Takeaways:
- Routine Update, Loud Reaction: The Smithsonian removed a temporary Trump impeachment label as part of a larger exhibit update—prompting an over-the-top backlash from Democrats.
- Trump Pushes Patriotic Narrative: The change follows a March Trump executive order to remove “divisive narratives” and highlight America’s heritage.
- Acquittals Still Stand: Trump was impeached twice—but acquitted both times, a fact the Left continues to ignore while demanding their version of history be etched in stone.
The National Museum of American History quietly removed an exhibit referencing President Trump’s two impeachments this month—and the Left is throwing a fit.
According to the Smithsonian, the decision was part of a broader review of outdated content. “A large permanent gallery like The American Presidency… requires significant time and funding to update,” a spokesperson explained. A refreshed exhibit will eventually include all presidential impeachments.
But Democrats aren’t buying it. Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) accused Trump of trying to “erase history,” while Sen. Adam Schiff posted archived New York Times front pages, declaring, “America never will” forget.
The update followed Trump’s March executive order directing the Smithsonian to remove “divisive narratives” and instead promote America’s “extraordinary heritage.” The museum admitted its impeachment label, meant as a temporary 2021 placeholder, lingered until July 2025.
Now, the exhibit simply states that “only three presidents have seriously faced removal.” That’s a fact—even if it ruins the Left’s preferred talking point.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom compared the move to censoring the Epstein list. Irony much?
Trump was acquitted both times. That’s also history. And no amount of partisan pearl-clutching will change it.
