It’s part of a larger plan to control not just what we do, but what we know. https://youtu.be/rEH7sF6pA4s?feature=shared

Answer 1

It's true that, following Trump's executive order to "Restore Truth and Sanity to American History," Trump was removed from a list of impeached presidents at the Smithsonian National Museum for American History’s exhibit on the American presidency, as reported by outlets like the Associated Press, the Washington Post, and PBS. 

However, it should be noted that the museum denies being asked or pressured by the Trump administration to edit the exhibit's contents. According to the AP, a museum spokesperson, Phillip Zimmerman, had previously pledged that “a future and updated exhibit will include all impeachments,” though no date was given for its installation.

Answer 2

This claim is true, but misleading. While Trump did issue an executive order targeting “anti-American” content in museums, the Smithsonian has not officially linked the exhibit change to that order. The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History confirmed it removed references to Trump’s two impeachments from the “Limits of Presidential Power” section. Smithsonian Spokesperson Phillip Zimmerman said this was part of a broader restoration of the exhibit to its 2008 appearance, due to outdated content, and that a future update will include all presidential impeachments.
