President Donald Trump has made a request to the Smithsonian Institution. He wants a colossal statue of George Washington to be installed outside the National Museum of American History. Additionally, Trump is asking for a special exhibit to honor the nation's first president.
The exhibit would start now and run through February 22, 2032, which marks the 300th anniversary of Washington's birth. Further details about the request are available, including the specific statues Trump has in mind. One statue, 11 feet tall, was recently featured at an IndyCar race, while another would be 30 feet tall.
The request was made in social media posts, but no additional information is given about the response from the Smithsonian Institution.
