Trump wants the Smithsonian Institution to install George Washington statues and exhibit
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Former President Donald Trump has proposed that the Smithsonian Institution install a large statue of George Washington outside the National Museum of American History, along with a special exhibit honoring the first president. He suggested that the exhibit run until February 22, 2032, marking Washington's 300th birthday. Trump criticized the museum for not adequately representing Washington's historical significance, particularly his crossing of the Delaware River. He called for a 'Center for American Heroes' instead of the recently concluded 'Center for Restorative History.' It remains uncertain if Trump has the authority to enforce these changes, as the Smithsonian operates independently.
