New information panels have been installed under the portraits of former presidents in the White House of the United States. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
These panels present the activities of the heads of state in a critical and political manner. This initiative was proposed by the current president Donald Trump and has sparked significant debates both within the US and internationally.
The exhibition, called the "Presidents' Hall of Fame," is located on the walls of the West Wing of the White House. Previously, the presidents' portraits were accompanied by neutral historical information.
Now, some of the panels about certain presidents have been enriched with controversial descriptions. According to the Reuters news agency, the information presented on the panels is often based on subjective assessments, and some criticisms are not confirmed by historical sources.
This situation raises serious questions among historians and political analysts. The most significant changes have been observed in the sections dedicated to Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
The panel dedicated to Biden describes him as "the worst president in American history," accusing him of corruption and "intellectual decline." Additionally, instead of his official portrait, an autograph photo has been placed, which is interpreted as a criticism of his style of signing executive orders.
Barack Obama is evaluated as "one of the most controversial political figures." The panel criticizes his decisions in domestic and foreign policy.
The exhibition also covers Hillary Clinton's defeat in the 2016 election and the previous presidents' decisions regarding wars and economic strategies from the perspective of the Trump administration. Many historians and media representatives have expressed concern about this approach.
They believe that the White House, as a symbol of national unity, should maintain respect for all presidents. White House officials, however, describe the new panels as a "fair reflection of the presidents' activities."
However, since some statements are not supported by documented evidence, this exhibition is sparking new debates in the US about the interpretation of history and politics.
