Maybe Trump plans to pull the shuttle from NYC and move it back to DC as a way of poking NYC in the eye?  He might justify doing so because the Enterprise was the prototype shuttle and more people would see it in DC.  It was only put in NYC in 2012.

Enterprise was previously displayed at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida prior to it being donated to the Smithsonian Institution in 1985. Before arriving at the Intrepid, Enterprise was exhibited at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's Steven F Udvar-Hazy Center in northern Virginia for eight years. It was moved to New York City after shuttle Discovery inherited its place in the National Collection.[/quote]

It would be a  LOT easier to move Enterprise, since all you’d have to do is get a crane alongside the ship and lift it up and put it on a barge for the trip to Houston. It would make the whole journey by sea.

Moving Discovery would be orders of magnitude more difficult.
