The entire exhibit would have been removed; incl Jackson & Clinton. No, this is nothing more than placating trump and his deviant definition of "anti-American ideology". Let me say what the Smithsonian leadership is too scared to say: TRUMP IS A THIEF, FELON & CHILD RAPIST. #IMPEACHX3
Someone please update the exhibit on a visit ...
Book Burnings can’t be far behind.
I’ll take “what are the signs that your government is facist?” For $500
They are folding like origami
So pathetic!
Smithsonian is gutless. I heard t-rump has stage 4 cancer up his rectal. What the hell is it waiting for. Faster, faster
A Smithsonian spokesperson says it’ll be restored after “updates”. But let’s not ignore the timing the White House is actively pushing for a more “positive” version of U.S. history. This isn’t just editing an exhibit. It’s an attempt to rewrite the record.
...those in power write history...
There’s no legitimate reason for “updates” aside from revising history.
They should make room for a J6 insurrection exhibit.
…and why Jonathan Capehart has left the WaPo!
Got news, CRIMES like this will NEVER be expunged.
Seriously ??? What needs revising or updating ? Has Biden or some other POTUS been impeached? I don’t think sooo !
The military can call people back to active duty in order to prosecute them in a court martial. Can a POTUS be reinstated in order to be impeached?
😡
Good news!
I dont buy that reason. If this was true, they wouldn't have made a statement about his impeachments not being serious.
I hope they will include this very helpful and enlightening collage.
In the meantime, go buy a sticker with Trump saying "I did that" and put it next to the exhibit listing Johnson, Nixon and Clinton. Oh, and Trump got impeached twice!
Rewriting history from *checks notes* 5 years ago
While they are at it - might as well say Stalin was great for his people!
like the japanese internment will have been about they went to summer camp for the war
Pretty sad
Check out the top two names on the Board of Regents for the Smithsonian. (hint: it's JD Vance and Chief Justice Roberts) Then start checking the Boards of the other museums. As someone said to me... "they have infiltrated everything like lice"
Here's to hoping 🤞🏻that the "revisions" they make to it PERFECTLY reflect what came *after* his failed impeachments: a failed coup/insurrection, 1st non-peaceful transfer of power w/no transition, SCOTUS making POTUS king, canceling the Constitution, and his current rise to authoritarian dictator.
It's the Smithsonian. They HAVE to. Right? RIGHT?!
Prediction: the "update" will show the eleventy-seven times that Obama was impeached.
Are they expecting a 3rd impeachment? We're hoping.
He’ll get his “positive” version for a short time, then the rest of us will restore what he destroyed and make sure everybody knows that he was the worst president in history, by a long shot. Twice.
Let's hope they put a post it on it to remind themselves to change it back after he's gone.
The DOJ busy winning against our Forest Service and gifting public land access to energy companies: www.justice.gov/opa/blog/jus...
If the Smithsonian is going to do something awful like that it would be better to remove the entire exhibit. Just removing D.T.'s name makes it even worse.
I went to my latest appt. at the Veteran's Hospital & was appalled at the "Shrine" with large portraits of tRump,Vance,& Collins installed in the lobby in space previously used for clinic announcements, books,& Veteran related material. tRump has his little hands in everything. I did not genuflect.
That's disgusting. You should not have to deal with that. They are treating veterans terribly.
But when Hitler 2.0 is gone American history will go back to the way the rest of the world's history about him and his criminal family
Tbf, these exhibits take a while to put together. Hopefully they're preparing for the addition of Trump going to prison in 2026 for sex crimes?
Remove it all you want,it doesn't erase history and will be back after this ridiculous regime is out of office. Hope someone's keeping track. Alot of damage to be rolled back!
Anyone visiting the museum needs to bring a post it with & DJT x 2 over and over again
never impeached won in 2020 smartest person ever Godly
Revisions, my arse!
Close it down. If they can’t tell the whole history it shouldn’t exist.
Sent this to them today. "Our family has been a gift subscriber to the Smithsonian for several years and we have donated in the past. All that ends with your willingness to bend to the will of the current regime.
The removal of Trump's two impeachments from your archives proves the organization has become nothing more than a political tool, not a trustworthy source of information. So very sad and so very shameful."
😡🤬😡
It will be added back when he is out of office.
He won't leave. Hide and watch.
He’s old & starting w dementia. Granted anything is too long but eventually he will be gone.
He will be but his legacy will remain and his destruction of our norms will take decades to restore if it ever is.
1/2 Hmm. In the meantime.. Going to the museum? Take along some handy little history reminders for the Smithsonian. Not going now/anytime soon/never? Affix to a postcard or send with a letter.
Uh huh. Let me guess, Karoline Leavitt provided them with that little press release? #BendTheKnee
If I lived there I’d place post it notes every where with the truth, every day. Maybe we can make a movement like Tesla takedown at Smithsonian every day!
John Roberts is Chancellor of The Smithsonian.
On his order?
An important update about this from Robert Reich 2day. Secretary of The Smithsonian, Lonnie Bunch III, said he is going to correct that error. Side note: Lonnie Bunch III is the son of our Principal, Mr. Bunch II, at Chapel Hill Elem. School, Lincoln Park NJ, where a bunch of my cohort attended.
Uh huh. Americans know what's going on.
Are they going to let Karoline write the history
It's disheartening how quickly the Smithsonian caved in. They have become a participant in history, rather than a faithful recorder of our past. Very, very disappointing.
It’s fubar
WTF!!! Put it back now!
Nixon was not impeached. He resigned to prevent impeachment. Why does a sign say he was?
Appalling
DON'T EXPECT IT BACK ... 😠💢😠
Nothing to see here
It will be replaced they made a statement, hoping without those revisions
Hard to even fathom T$ump and Library in the same phrase.
lol
Did they have the history “wrong” before? Or was it just wrong in The Terrified Toddlers eyes.
The will be put back after 2026.
Thank you for posting. The Internet Remembers!
🤬
Trump was impeached twice and will always be impeached and should be impeached again.
Every. Damn. Day. I either doomscroll endlessly or I force myself to not look at all.
Wussonian.
Why don’t they put 5 time noble peace prize winner while they’re at it
Fascism happens really fast.
This is what dictators do.
Hopefully museum visitors can bring their own Trump impeachment references from home to replenish the display.
How is there no Alt Smithsonian?
😂😂😂. Maybe it’s going back up saying felon too!
Trump vowed to rule on "Day One" as a "dictator," and promised the "most extraordinary first 100 days of any presidency". A shock and awe” campaign to enforce his will and remake American society and government in the far-right MAGA movement's desired image. www.salon.com/2025/01/30/f...
That’s what dictators do…
Why the fuck do these people and organizations keep giving in? You're giving him power! And that fat turd won't live forever but the stain on your name will last decades!
Because they think they can protect their funding by playing along with thin-skinned Dementia Don until he is out in 2029.
Erase history, but it will not work
More like “taken down for suppression of the truth!”
trump has SURPASSED Clinton in all illicit scandals. Gop owes Clinton an apology & they should NEVER claim to be the party of Christians again.
*hack* Nazis. *coughcough*
We know he was impeached. You can’t run or hide from the truth…
Fuckers
Watch the orange man give himself the Nobel Peace Prize. He'll call it the Noble Peace Prize, and maga will be none the wiser.
Unbelievable.
We can’t even trust the Smithsonian now.
They always lie. Always.
Why is the entire country being held hostage by a fucking babyman?
It’s all temporary
The stupidest person you know doing all he can to ensure there won't be anyone left to question his take on history so he can go back to claiming he's the smartest person you know.
Well we all know Trump was impeached TWICE
🤮🤮🤮🤮
Offs
We will NOT forget!!!
I can't wait until we get a new president (a real president) that reverses all the crap that the Trump administration has done. It will be a glorious day!
I celebrate every reversal as we go along, but YES to THE day we're free of this entire corrupt fascist, white Christian Nationalist bunch of life-sucking criminals!
Time to protest the Smithsonian
It gets worse by the day. WWII Fascism wasn’t defeated by strongly worded letters and Indivisible Marches. Neither was the Confederacy nor King George.
Your revision needs the true facts regardless of his threats.
And we will put it back the way it should be when we remove all of them.
He is so gross trying to rewrite history. We need to pick a day and millions of us post the photos of the headlines from his impeachments. Then make it an annual event until it goes back into the Smithsonian.
Yes! Great idea! 👍💙🔆 Every year on that day, we need to celebrate all of his impeachments, including the ones to come !
I immediately unsubscribed from my daily Smithsonian email and then emailed them as to why.
“Revisionist History”
Dear dems, if you go to the smithsonian take a copy of the NYT’s report of trump’s impeachments and quietly hang them in the museum.
Very Stalin-like….
I can’t express how wrong I think it is to try and erase historical fact in the service of ideology.
Most spiteful, whiny bitch of a president
Its sad that the Smithsonian is now nothing more than a friggen joke!
It is Historically wrong for the Smithsonian to alter anything!
Cowards. This is how a fascist takes over, little bits at a time, with the scared acquiescing until there is nothing of the truth left. The Smithsonian was founded by an Act of Congress 179 yrs ago and Congress now allowing this wipeout.
Doesn't feel like a little bit at a time anymore. Feels kinda big, tbh.
Considering the entirety of the government’s data has been stolen, and we have masked thugs beating people in the name of the law, yUGE.
TO THE DEMOCRAT'S WAKE UP. When I read the Australia ad introducing new bill limiting spending on a party to ban billionaires from buying elections was $20.000. AS WE THE PEOPLE will at last be able to fight the good fight.
🤬🤬🤬nazis
It's been removed because the dictator told them to remove it. Say it, own it. This whole damn country is bending the knee.
😡
🙄
Regime full of insecure little boys who never got enough attention.
Get rid of the entire thing. If you can’t do something right, don’t do it at all. Malicious compliance, not capitulation. Remove all mentions of him from the entire Smithsonian collection. He no longer exists to you if you still want to continue existing.
Let’s be real. There will never be a Trump Presidential Library either. All those funds will be funneled to his personal accounts.
with no department of education it will be a lot easier to rewrite history, trump has always been our glorious leader, the fascists were persecuted during the 1940s, there has never been elections here in magaland, Biden forced Lincoln into the civil war, Lincoln was really pro-slavery
President Confabulation
Of Course It Has!!! IMPEACH CONVICT REMOVE HIS SAD SORRY A$$🤬🤮🤬🤮🤬🤮🤬🤮🤬🤮🤬🤮🤬
THIS. IS. FASCISM.
Revise "trump impeachment" with "sexual sadist."
Child rapist. Child molester. Child abuser.
Maybe they're going to bold words like Convicted Rapist and 57 Fraud Counts? /S :(
Anywhere but reality History & the Jeffy files.… It will take over a decade to prosecute Drump and all of his government minions. The scale of graft, corruption, dereliction of duty, cheating, lying, & treason will be beyond anything the world has ever seen before.
Too late, God already knows who he is.
🤬🤬🤬
Taken down for deletions
Email them: info@si.edu
It will likely only be allowed to go back up after Trump is gone.
streisand effect
I cancelled my subscription to Smithsonian. It's actually one of my favorite magazines. I usually read every article. Not any more. I am so damned mad at them. Trump likely threatened to pull their funding. More racketeering (hurt them until they capitulate and they give you something back).
It's unfortunate the Trump Administration demanded the removal. But, I think the Smithsonian was smart to revise the display: it can be restored after the 2026 elections, all or most of the existing staff will still have jobs, and this will help harden the resolve of resistors! (What a ❄)
And now we know t-rump supports child molesters.
The only way to fight misinformation and authoritarian power is to make something better than what they use to manipulate us. www.hivegeist.us/2025/07/31/t...
I wonder what the correction will say? "Trump win, Trump good president. Other side bad, very bad. It was a witch hunt! Thank you for your attention in this matter!"
🤣🤣
So... What are these supposed revisions?
"President Donald Trump brought great prosperity to the US in his first term. He won the 2020 presidential election by a large percentage of votes, but was not confirmed as president by Congress. A peaceful protest was held at the Capitol in 2021. Many attendees were later imprisoned by Democrats."
The Winston Smithsonian.
I love the Smithsonian. I've supported it with annual donations for many years because I believe in the value of their work. No more, not a single penny until this revisionist bullsh*t stops.
I sent an email to them indicating their willingness to bend to this regime ended all of our support.
Write a letter!
Big Brother strikes again, or is he Dear Leader?
Timothy Snyder’s first rule for fighting fascism: "DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE" The Smithsonian and Harvard and Columbia and Brown and Paramount and countless law firms (among others) are all fascist supporting institutions. Fuck them all.
Will someone be impeached a third time? It's a charm, after all.
The Fat Fuk is ashamed of himself.
Revisionist history.
Ok who over there at the Smithsonian is being blackmailed? Extorted? Cause this and everything else reeks of it. Remember Frump the Grifting Grump has access to any and all tools to blackmail and extort money from any and everyone.
Outrageous!
