特朗普在Truth Social平台上表示,在“近期卸任的领导层”治下,史密森学会“采取措施将注意力压倒性地放在那些受压迫者身上,但几乎没有关注那些战胜巨大压迫、克服重重困难的成功者”。
“我呼吁史密森学会为纪念美国最伟大英雄乔治·华盛顿的生平与遗产,在美国国家历史博物馆举办一场为期五年的特展,即日起开始,持续至2032年2月22日——华盛顿诞辰300周年纪念日,”特朗普补充道。
特朗普还表示,他呼吁史密森学会在博物馆外“竖立一座30英尺(约9米)高的华盛顿‘巨像’”。

他同时要求史密森学会将一座近期在“自由250大奖赛”上展出的11英尺(约3.4米)高的华盛顿雕像安置在博物馆的国旗厅内。
特朗普政府此前曾威胁削减对史密森学会的联邦拨款及联邦机构支持,特朗普对该机构过度聚焦奴隶制的黑暗历史表示不满。
去年,他的政府启动了对部分博物馆的审查,他的白宫团队还指责该学会下属的美国国家历史博物馆“披着伪装的反美主义”。
特朗普还下令在博物馆外安装标牌,以反映他的政府的批评立场。
历史学家和民权倡导者谴责特朗普对该机构的攻击和指控,称此类举措有可能逆转社会进步,削弱对美国历史关键阶段的认知。

特朗普称他的目标是消除“反美意识形态”。
邦奇曾表示,白宫对美国国家历史博物馆的指控并不公正。
史密森学会是一个庞大的博物馆与研究综合体,也是展示美国历史与文化的顶级展览空间,旗下拥有21座博物馆和美术馆以及国家动物园。
特朗普曾通过声明和命令针对美国文化和历史机构——从博物馆、纪念碑到国家公园——相关举措导致奴隶制主题展览被下架,南方邦联雕像被恢复。

- Summary
- Trump has repeatedly criticized Smithsonian during this term
- Civil rights groups, historians condemned his actions
- Smithsonian chief announced retirement this week
WASHINGTON, Sept 11 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump criticized what he called the Smithsonian’s overwhelming focus on oppression on Friday and called for a five-year exhibition on George Washington, in his latest critique of an institution he has repeatedly attacked.
The Republican leader has denounced the Smithsonian for months, in what critics call part of a campaign to present U.S. history from a conservative point of view. On Tuesday, Smithsonian chief Lonnie Bunch said he was retiring.

Trump said on Truth Social that “under recently ended leadership,” the Smithsonian took steps “to focus attention overwhelmingly on those who have been oppressed, but there is almost no attention paid to those who triumphed over great oppression, and against great odds.”
“I am calling on the Smithsonian Institution to honor the Life and Legacy of George Washington, America’s Greatest Hero, with a five-year exhibition at the National Museum of American History, beginning now, and continuing through, February 22, 2032, the 300th anniversary of Washington’s birth,” Trump added.
Trump said he was also calling on the Smithsonian to “erect a 30-foot (9-m) ‘Colossus statue’” of Washington outside the museum.

He also asked the Smithsonian to install an 11-foot (3.4-m)statue of Washington that was featured at the recent Freedom 250 Grand Prix race in the museum’s Flag Hall.
The Trump administration has previously threatened to cut federal funding and federal agencies’ support for the Smithsonian, with Trump expressing displeasure at what he called the institution’s excessive focus on how bad slavery was.
Last year, his administration launched a review of some museums and his White House has accused the institution’s National Museum of American History of “thinly veiled anti-Americanism.”
Trump has also ordered installation of signs outside the museum to reflect his administration’s criticism.
Historians and civil rights advocates have denounced Trump’s attacks and his accusations against the institution, saying such steps risk reversing social progress and undermine the acknowledgement of critical phases of U.S. history.

Trump says he aims to remove “anti-American ideology.”
Bunch has said the White House’s accusations against the National Museum of American History were unfair.
The Smithsonian is a vast museum and research complex and a premier exhibition space for U.S. history and culture, with 21 museums and galleries and the National Zoo.
Trump has targeted U.S. cultural and historical institutions – from museums to monuments to national parks – with his declarations and orders leading to the dismantling of slavery exhibits and the restoration of Confederate statues.
