Trump wants Smithsonian to build George Washington statue, exhibit

President Trump requested the Smithsonian Institution to install a 30-foot-tall George Washington statue outside the National Museum of American History, replacing the Infinity statue. He also asked for an exhibit honoring the founding father to run until February 22, 2032, marking Washington's 300th birth anniversary. Additionally, Trump proposed placing an 11-foot statue of Washington, previously seen at the Freedom 250 IndyCar race, within the museum's Flag Hall specifically for Constitution Day on September 17.
