特朗普要求史密森尼学会在美国国家历史博物馆外安装一座30英尺高的乔治·华盛顿雕像，并建立相关展览123。特朗普在Truth Social上表示："他无疑是美国最伟大的英雄。没有他，我们的国家和自由就不会存在。"3这一展览计划将持续至2032年华盛顿诞辰300周年3。
特朗普的这一要求反映了他对该机构展览主题的不满。他批评史密森尼学会过度关注压迫和社会正义议题123，而忽视了美国建国人物和国家成就2。特朗普政府在2025年3月发布了162页报告，指控博物馆过度强调这些主题3。此前7月份特朗普还下令内政部在博物馆外安装标志，指控其展览不准确3。
特朗普还提议沿波托马克河建立"英雄花园"，展示250位杰出美国人的雕像3。不过史密森尼学会作为独立机构，其重大变动需由董事会决定，该董事会成员包括副总统JD Vance、首席法官John Roberts及两党议员3。近期，该机构秘书Lonnie Bunch宣布将在年底前离职，任职期为7年3。
Donald Trump has called on the Smithsonian Institution to install a 30-foot statue of George Washington at the National Museum of American History and establish an accompanying exhibition 123. According to Trump's statement on Truth Social, "He is easily America's Greatest Hero. Without him, our Country and our Freedoms wouldn't exist." 3 The proposed exhibit would run through 2032, marking the 300th anniversary of Washington's birth 3.
Trump's demand reflects broader criticism of the Smithsonian's curatorial direction. In a 162-page report released by his administration in March 2025, Trump accused the museum of overemphasizing themes of oppression and social justice while neglecting American founding figures and national achievements 3. Additionally, in July, Trump ordered the Department of the Interior to install signage outside the museum's entrance challenging its accuracy 3. Trump has also proposed creating a "Heroes Garden" along the Potomac River featuring statues of 250 notable Americans 3.
The Smithsonian Institution operates with a governance structure that includes a board comprising Vice President JD Vance, Chief Justice John Roberts, and members of both political parties, positioning it as independent from direct executive control 3. Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie Bunch announced he will step down before year's end after seven years in the position 3.
