Representative Jamie Raskin has proposed legislation to have the Smithsonian Institution preserve and display artifacts related to what he terms "governmental propaganda" under President Trump.

Raskin stated the legislation would preserve manifestations of "authoritarian narcissism" and a "propagandistic assault on American history and democracy," contrasting it with Trump's efforts to censor and fictionalize history.
