Trump demands Smithsonian honor George Washington with new statue and exhibition

President Donald Trump on Friday urged the Smithsonian Institution to honor George Washington at its National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.

Trump asked the history museum to erect a new 30-foot “Washington Colossus” to replace the “Infinity,” which is an abstract rotating stainless steel sculpture that stands at the venue’s main entrance. The president also requested a new five-year exhibition “worthy of the Life, Sacrifice, and Contributions of George Washington.”
