Smithsonian swaps Trump portrait and removes mention of impeachments

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

The National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C. has replaced a portrait of Donald Trump and removed a placard that mentioned his two impeachments and the January 6th Capitol attack. The previous caption stated Trump was impeached twice for abuse of power and inciting insurrection, but was acquitted by the Senate in both trials. This change follows Trump's previous criticism of the gallery and its former director, who resigned after Trump attempted to have her fired. The Smithsonian, which oversees the gallery, has also removed references to Trump's impeachments from the National Museum of American History. These actions align with Trump's past efforts to control his public image and influence how the Smithsonian presents his presidency.
