The mention of President Donald Trump's two impeachments and his role in the January 6 Capitol attack has been removed from a Smithsonian.
In the 'America's Presidents' exhibit at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, an updated portrait of Trump has been hung, this time without a wordy display.
The White House shared the new image, shot by White House photographer Daniel Torok, over the weekend.
In it, Trump stands imposingly over the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.
Alongside it, two medallions tell visitors that Trump served as the 45th and now 47th president, and that's it.
Two other Trump portraits that had been displayed at the Portrait Gallery included longer, comprehensive write-ups about the president's first term.
Those include a 2019 photograph for Time Magazine, captured by Pari Dukovic, with Trump also positioned at the Resolute Desk, which was displayed during President Joe Biden's administration.
More recently, the museum had on display a portrait captured by Washington Post photographer Matt McClain.
In both cases, the museum's display included biographical information about the president - including some wins.
It mentioned the creation of the MAGA movement, Trump's appointment of a trio of Supreme Court justices, the signing of the Abraham Accords, the development of the COVID-19 vaccines and the pair of impeachment votes.
'Impeached twice, on charges of abuse of power and incitement of insurrection after supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, he was acquitted by the Senate in both trials,' the description, which can still be found online, also read.
It also noted that Trump mounted a 'historic comeback' in the 2024 election, becoming the second politician after President Grover Cleveland to win non-consecutive White House terms.

"A White House spokesperson touted President Donald Trump's 'unmatched aura' in a new portrait on display at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery. Missing, however, is more descriptive text that previously referenced Trump's two impeachments and January 6"
"A longer description of President Donald Trump's tenure was on display at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery in 2021, when the Trump portrait was a photograph taken in 2019 for Time Magazine"
I hope that Trump’s Presidential Library has a large, detailed display featuring all of the 10,000 ways the Democrats tried to sabotage his presidency and failed to harm him.
Meh. Not going to lose any sleep over it.
The treasonous lot of deepstaters, democrats, and several RINO collaborators (ie. Liz Stainey) should be rotting in prison right about now
Good!
History is written by the winners. Suck it Dems.
Schwab!
I hope he has that desk picture on the wall behind his desk, just like Lloyd Bridges in Airplane.
I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue...
The Smithsonian needs to document how PDJTs civil rights were repeatedly violated fro the inception of Operation Crossfire Hurricane onward.The harassment of his family also neds to be documented and displayed.
The assassination attempts also should be documented.
He should wear it as a badge of honor...
I assume there’s a picture of Slick Willy Clinton there. Is there any mention of his impeachment or the sexual relations he never had with that woman, Monica Lewinsky?
The leftist hijacked The Smithsonian years ago. I have read there are steps being taken to fix that.
It will go back when the next cuck-perverted-loser is “elected” (sic)
And what does the Smithsonian have about Slick Willie’s impeachment?
