      He was twice impeached. The Senate failed to convict both times, but that doesn’t change that he was impeached twice.

      >The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History on Friday unveiled an updated impeachment display that now includes context about President Donald Trump’s historic cases — a change the institution made a week after The Washington Post reported that a temporary placard containing his name had been removed from the exhibit as part of a Smithsonian content review prompted by White House pressure to oust a museum director. The new text makes minor changes to — and offers slightly fewer details than — the temporary signage.

      >“The National Museum of American History has completed its update to the Impeachment case within ‘The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden’ exhibition,” the Smithsonian said in a statement on Friday. “The updated display now reflects all presidential impeachments. Adhering to principles foundational to our role as the nation’s museum, we take great care to ensure that what we present to the public reflects both intellectual integrity and thoughtful design.”

      >The statement said that the interim sign, which had been in place from September 2021 until this July, was removed because it was not consistent with other sections of the exhibit and blocked the display case. “We removed it to make way for a more permanent update to the content inside the case,” the Smithsonian said.

      >The removal drew swift outcry from some members of the public as well as several Democratic leaders. The Smithsonian Institution has faced growing concerns about political interference at the education and research complex amid the Trump administration’s efforts to exert more control over its work.

      >Of Trump’s first impeachment, the impeachment display now reads: “On December 18, 2019, the House impeached Donald Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The charges focused on the president’s alleged solicitation of foreign interference in the 2020 presidential election and defiance of Congressional subpoenas. Trump was acquitted in January 2020.”

      >Of his second impeachment, the display reads: “On January 13, 2021, Donald Trump became the first president to be impeached twice. The charge was incitement of insurrection based on his challenge of the 2020 election results and on his speech on January 6. Because Trump’s term ended on Jan. 20, he became the first former president tried by the Senate. He was acquitted on February 13, 2021.“

      >Some edits are evident, including the addition of the word “alleged” in the placard’s description of the conduct that led to Trump’s first impeachment.

      >Of Trump’s first impeachment, the temporary placard had read: “On December 18, 2019, the
      House impeached Donald Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The charges focused on the president’s solicitation of foreign interference in the 2020 presidential election and his defiance of Congressional subpoenas. President Trump was acquitted in January 2020.”

      >And of his second impeachment, the temporary placard read: “On January 13, 2021, Donald Trump became the first president to be impeached twice. The charge was incitement of insurrection, based on repeated ‘false statements’ challenging the 2020 election results and his January 6 speech that ‘encouraged — and foreseeably resulted in — imminent lawless action at the Capitol.’ Because Trump’s term ended on January 20, his acquittal on February 13 made him the first former president tried by the Senate.”

      So did they add extra context about how his impeachments were so unfair and wrong and how Trump is just a poor victim?

      If their excuse is even close to the truth, they should have realized how it was going to look and either waited until the new thing was ready or gotten out ahead of it.

      Like, I can your typical museum admin doing that and not thinking about the optics, but this is the Smithsonian and all things considered they should know better.

      TLDR: Smithsonian lying and backtracking after they got called out for changing history on behalf of a dictator.

      Oh boy! Get ready for another official to get scorched over this.

    16. Due-Egg4743 on

      So I take it Trump is already now trying to sue them and have the museum shut down?

      I keep saying we need some non-American historians to record what’s happening because it won’t be done accurately from within.

      The exhibit is from 2008. The only time it was updated was in 2021 to add Trump. They made a more permanent placard. Here is the previous placard:

      >“On December 18, 2019, the House impeached Donald Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The charges focused on the president’s solicitation of foreign interference in the 2020 presidential election and his defiance of Congressional subpoenas.

      >“On January 13, 2021, Donald Trump became the first president to be impeached twice. The charge was incitement of insurrection, based on repeated ‘false statements’ challenging the 2020 election results and his January 6 speech that ‘encouraged — and foreseeably resulted in — imminent lawless action at the Capitol.’ Because Trump’s term ended on January 20, his acquittal on February 13 made him the first former president tried by the Senate.”

      Here is the updated placard:

      >“On December 18, 2019, the House impeached Donald Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The charges focused on the president’s alleged solicitation of foreign interference in the 2020 presidential election and defiance of Congressional subpoenas. Trump was acquitted in January 2020.

      >“On January 13, 2021, Donald Trump became the first president to be impeached twice. The charge was incitement of insurrection based on his challenge of the 2020 election results and on his speech on January 6. Because Trump’s term ended on Jan. 20, he became the first former president tried by the Senate. He was acquitted on February 13, 2021.“

      For all the people who didn’t read this story and are acting like he’s erasing history, it’s probably important you read the actual changes and the museum’s reasoning for it:

      >“The National Museum of American History has completed its update to the Impeachment case within ‘The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden’ exhibition,” the Smithsonian said in a statement on Friday. “The updated display now reflects all presidential impeachments. Adhering to principles foundational to our role as the nation’s museum, we take great care to ensure that what we present to the public reflects both intellectual integrity and thoughtful design.”

      Save a little room for the third impeachment, and possibly fourth. This dude commits an impeachable offense nearly every day, often live on television. Anxiously awaiting those child sex trafficking charges, lets gooooo

      It’s unfortunate that our system of government assumes the electorate aren’t complete morons and fascists who would elect a criminal to the office of the presidency and have him be completely supported and enabled by his party.

      If the Democrats take congress next year, they should make room for at least one more.
