Iimaylo dhawaan la helay ayaa tilmaamaya in qaar ka mid ah deeq-bixiyeyaasha shaqsiyaadka ah ay diyaar u ahaayeen inay maalgeliyaan sawirrada rasmiga ah ee Trump iyo Marwada Koowaad ee hore Melania Trump ee loogu talagalay Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, laakiin Smithsonian ugu dambeyntii wuxuu ogolaaday inuu aqbalo deeqda Trump ee $650,000 ee uu siiyay PAC Save America.
Deeqdan ayaa ah markii ugu horreysay ee dhawaan la xasuusto in urur siyaasadeed uu maalgeliyo sawirrada matxafka ee madaxweynayaashii hore, maadaama inta badan ay bixiyaan deeq-bixiyeyaal shaqsiyeed oo uu shaqaaleeyay Smithsonian. Hadyaddan aan caadiga ahayn, oo markii ugu horreysay uu soo tebiyay Business Insider bishii Agoosto, ayaa sidoo kale dhalisay falcelin dadweyne oo ka dhan ah matxafka waxayna shaki gelisay aqoonsiga deeq-bixiye labaad oo ku deeqay hadiyad dheeraad ah oo dhan $100,000 si loogu maalgeliyo sawirrada ay soo qabanqaabisay Citizens for Responsible and Ethical Washington, waxaana Isniintii dib u eegay The Washington Post.
Afhayeenka Hay'adda Smithsonian Institution Linda St. Thomas ayaa Isniintii ku celisay in deeq-bixiyaha labaad uu ahaa "muwaadin doonaya in magaciisa la qariyo." Waxay sidoo kale xustay in mid ka mid ah sawirrada sawirradu ay horeba diyaar u yihiin, kan kalena uu "shaqada ku jiro."
Si kastaba ha ahaatee, xeerarka matxafku waxay dhigayaan in haddii madaxweynihii hore uu mar kale u tartamo madaxweynenimada, sawirkiisa lama shaacin karo. Natiijo ahaan, matxafku ma shaacin karo magacyada labada fanaan ee la casuumay ilaa doorashada madaxtinimada ee 2024, sida uu u sheegay St. Thomas wargeyska Post. Haddii Trump uu ku guuleysto doorashadan, sawirrada waxaa la soo bandhigi doonaa oo keliya ka dib markii uu xilka qabtay, sida ku cad xeerarka matxafka.
"Ma shaacino magaca farshaxanka ka hor furitaanka, inkastoo xaaladdaas ay is beddeli karto sababtoo ah waqti badan ayaa ka soo wareegay," ayuu yiri St. Thomas. Sawir laga qaaday Trump sannadkii 2019 oo uu qaaday Pari Dukovic for Time ayaa si ku meel gaar ah loogu soo bandhigay bandhigga "Madaxweynayaasha Mareykanka" ee National Portrait Gallery ka hor inta aan la shaacin sawirka rasmiga ah. Sida laga soo xigtay Smithsonian Institution, sawirka dhawaan ayaa laga saari doonaa sababo la xiriira ilaalinta.
Wadahadallo u dhexeeya mas'uuliyiinta matxafka iyo Trump oo ku saabsan sawirka iyo maalgelinta ayaa socday bilo, laga bilaabo horraantii 2021, wax yar ka dib markii Trump uu xafiiska ka tagay, sida ay muujinayaan emayllo.
Habkan waxaa lagu sharraxay farriin ka timid Kim Saget, agaasimaha National Portrait Gallery, oo loo diray Molly Michael, kaaliyaha fulinta ee Trump ee xafiiska boostada. Sadget wuxuu xusay in Trump uu ugu dambeyntii ansixin doono ama diidi doono rinjiyeynta ka hor inta aan la soo bandhigin. (Afhayeen u hadlay Smithsonian ayaa u sheegay The Post in shaqaalaha matxafku ay markii dambe waceen kooxda Trump si ay u caddeeyaan inuusan heli doonin oggolaanshaha kama dambaysta ah.)
"Dabcan, haddii Mr. Trump uu fikrado u hayo fanaaniinta kale, waan soo dhaweyneynaa talooyinkaas," Sadget ayaa u qoray Michael email taariikhdiisu tahay Maarso 18, 2021. "Hadafkayagu wuxuu ahaa inaan helno farshaxanle, sida laga soo xigtay matxafka iyo qofka haya, u abuuri doona sawir wanaagsan oo loogu talagalay gallery-ga Madaxweynayaasha Mareykanka si joogto ah."
Qiyaastii laba bilood ka dib, Sadget wuxuu sidoo kale xusay in National Portrait Gallery ay ururinaysay lacago gaar ah oo loogu talagalay dhammaan sawirrada madaxweynaha, wuxuuna codsaday caawimaad si loo helo "saaxiibo iyo taageerayaal qoyska Trump oo taageeri kara guddiyadan."
Maajo 28, 2021, Saget wuxuu u qoray Michael, "Si aan u ilaalino masaafada ixtiraamka leh ee u dhaxaysa noloshooda gaarka ah iyo dhaxalkooda dadweynaha, waxaan dooranaynaa inaan la xiriirin xubnaha qoyska Trump ama aan wax ku biirin mid ka mid ah ganacsiyada Trump."
Qiyaastii toddobaad ka dib, Michael wuxuu Sadget u sheegay in kooxda Trump ay "heleen deeq-bixiyeyaal dhowr ah oo, shakhsiyaad ahaan, ay u badan tahay inay si buuxda u bixin doonaan."
"Waxaan soo dhejin doonaa magacyada iyo macluumaadka xiriirka maalmaha soo socda si aan u hago dadka aan isku hayno oo aan u go'aamino doorashada ugu dambeysa ee madaxweynaha," Michael ayaa qoray.
Toddobaad ka dib, Michael wuxuu diray liis kale, laakiin magacyada waxaa laga saaray emayllada dadweynaha ee ay aragtay The Post. Michael wuxuu qoray inay "heli doonto darsin kale haddii loo baahdo".
Ma cadda waxa dhacay marka laga hadlayo ururinta lacagaha ka dib, taasoo keentay in la go'aamiyo in lacag laga qaato Trump PAC. Emailada ayaa tilmaamaya in qaar ka mid ah wadahadalladu ay ka dhaceen taleefanka ama inta lagu jiro kulamada internetka.
Bishii Sebtembar 2021, waxay is dhaafsadeen emayllo ku saabsan "kalfdhigii ugu horreeyay" ee sawirka. Kadib, Febraayo 17, 2022, Saget wuxuu u diray Michael emayl kale isagoo sharraxaya siyaasadda matxafka ee ku saabsan ururinta.
"Qof nool looma ogola inuu bixiyo lacagtiisa," Sajet ayaa qoray, isagoo soo xiganaya siyaasadda. "NPG waxay la xiriiri kartaa qoyska qofka haya, asxaabta iyo dadka ay yaqaaniin si ay u daboolaan kharashaadka ku baxaya fulinta sawirka, iyadoo la tixgelinayo in NPG ay hormuud ka tahay wadahadallada oo kooxda la casuumay aysan saameyn ku yeelan doorashada ama qiimaha farshaxanka."
Maarso 8, 2022, Saget waxay Michael weydiisay inay la wadaagi karto wararka ku saabsan kuwa muujiyay xiisaha ay u qabaan inay taageeraan shaqada matxafka.
"Waxaan bilaabaynaa inaan soo saarno kharashyo u baahan in la daboolo, waxaana dooneynaa inaan u dhawaano ururinta lacagaha mashruuca," ayuu qoray Sajet.
Ka dib markii uu isku dubariday wicitaan taleefan oo loo diray dhowr iimaylo, Michael wuxuu u qoray Saget Maarso 25, 2022, isagoo sheegay in "xidhiidhka ugu wanaagsan ee aan ku sii wadi karno wadahadalladeenna" ay ahayd Susie Wiles, oo ah lataliye siyaasadeed oo ka tirsan xisbiga Jamhuuriga oo markii dambe loo magacaabay lataliyaha sare ee Trump sannadkii 2024. - ololaha doorashada.
Warqad ku taariikhaysan Maajo 11, 2022, oo ku qoran warqadda Smithsonian, ayay mas'uuliyiinta matxafku u qoreen Khasnajiga PCC ee Save America Bradley Clutter, iyagoo qiraya "ballanqaadka deeqsinimada leh ee ururka siyaasadeed ee dhawaan $650,000" si uu u taageero Guddiga Sawirka Trump.
"Iyada oo la aqoonsanayo taageeradan deeqsinimada leh, Machadka Smithsonian wuxuu soo bandhigi doonaa ereyada 'Badbaadi Ameerika' calaamadaha alaabta lagu soo bandhigay sawirka inta lagu jiro bandhigga iyo dhinaca sawirka sawirka ee bogga internetka ee NPG," ayuu qoray matxafku.
Waxay intaas ku dareen in PAC Save America ay sidoo kale ku casuumi doonto 10 marti ah bandhigga, ka dibna ay sawirro gaar ah ka daawan doonaan ilaa shan marti.
Luulyo 20, 2022, Wiles wuxuu email u diray Usha Subramanian, agaasimaha horumarinta ee National Portrait Gallery, nuqul ka mid ah heshiiska la saxiixay.
Guddiga $750,000 ee loogu talagalay labada sawir ee Trump waxaa bixin doona deeqda Save America PAC iyo hadiyad labaad oo gaar ah oo $100,000 ah oo ka timid deeq-bixiye gaar ah oo aan la magacaabin, sida uu sheegay matxafku sannadkii hore.
Inkasta oo aan caadi ahayn, haddana deeqaha waa sharci sababtoo ah Save America waa PAC-ga xukuma, iyadoo ay jiraan xayiraado yar oo ku saabsan isticmaalka lacagaheeda. PAC-yada noocaas ah, marka laga soo tago kor u qaadista musharixiinta isku fikirka ah, waxaa loo isticmaali karaa in lagu bixiyo la-taliyayaasha, lagu daboolo kharashyada safarka iyo sharciga, iyo kharashyada kale. Inta badan maalgelinta Trump GAC waxay ka timaaddaa deeq-bixiyeyaasha yaryar ee ka jawaabaya emayllada iyo su'aalaha kale.
Wakiillada Trump way diideen inay faallo ka bixiyaan. Talaadadii, afhayeenka Smithsonian Institution Concetta Duncan ayaa u sheegtay The Post in matxafku uu kala soocayo guddiga ficillada siyaasadeed ee Trump iyo qoyskiisa iyo ganacsigiisa.
"Sababtoo ah PAC waxay matalaysaa dadka kafaala-qaadayaasha ah, Portrait Gallery waxay ku faraxsan tahay inay aqbasho lacagahan maadaama aysan saameyn ku yeelanayn xulashada fanaaniinta ama qiimaha xarunta wadajirka ah," ayay ku qortay email.
Matxafka ayaa la kulmay dhaleeceyn ka dib markii deeqda la shaaciyay sannadkii hore. Email uu soo diray bishii Agoosto ee la soo dhaafay, istaraatiijiyadda baraha bulshada ee Smithsonian ayaa soo ururisay tweets ka yimid dadka isticmaala oo ka xumaaday ku dhawaaqista deeqda.
"Dabcan dadku uma muuqdaan inay garanayaan inaan haysanno sawirro dhammaan madaxweynayaasha," ayay qortay istaraatiijiyadda baraha bulshada Erin Blascoe. "Way ka xumaadeen inaan helnay muuqaalka Trump, laakiin waxaa sidoo kale jiray dad badan oo ka xumaaday in loo arkay 'deeq', gaar ahaan ka dib markii ay dhaleeceeyeen hababkooda lacag ururinta."
Sidoo kale waxaa ku jira nuqul ka mid ah warqad gacan ku qoran oo ka timid qof niyad jabsan oo sheegay inuu la mid yahay madaxweynihii hore isla markaana uu matxafka ka codsaday inaan la soo bandhigin sawirka Trump.
"Fadlan, ugu yaraan ilaa baaritaannada DOJ iyo FBI ay dhammaadaan," ayuu qoray qofka lacagta bixinaya. "Wuxuu Aqalka Cad ee qaaliga ah u adeegsaday dambiyo."
Waqtigaas, St. Thomas waxay u sheegtay asxaabteeda matxafka inay u aragto mucaaradka inay yihiin "cirifka barafka".
"Akhri maqaalka," ayay ku qortay iimayl. "Waxay taxayaan waxyaabo kale oo PAC ay bixiso. Waan joognaa halkaas.
In kasta oo Gallery-ga Qaranka uu sameeyay Kongareeska sanadkii 1962, haddana ma uusan magacaabin madaxweynayaashii xilka ka degay ilaa 1994, markaas oo Ronald Sherr uu sawir ka qaaday George W. Bush.
Waagii hore, sawirrada waxaa maalgelin jiray deeqo gaar ah, oo inta badan ka imanaya taageerayaasha dowladda xilka ka degaysa. In ka badan 200 oo deeq-bixiyeyaal ah, oo ay ku jiraan Steven Spielberg, John Legend iyo Chrissy Teigen, ayaa ku deeqay guddiga $750,000 ee sawirrada Obama ee Kehinde Wiley iyo Amy Sherald. Liiska deeq-bixiyeyaasha sawirrada Obama iyo Bush kuma jiraan PKK.
