Trump signs executive order related to Smithsonian Institution, White House says

The order follows a White House report that said the museum put ideology over historical facts and directs visitors to approved resources.

  • President Donald Trump ordered signs outside the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History warning visitors of inaccurate historical information and directing them to what his administration considers accurate resources, along with proposing a temporary corrective exhibit.
  • This order followed a White House report criticizing the Smithsonian's portrayal of American history as divisive, one-sided, and not inspiring, unifying, or worthy of the republic.
  • Smithsonian Director Anthea M. Hartig defended the museum's exhibits, stating the report does not fairly or accurately characterize their work, and highlighted the museum's commitment to rigorous and unbiased scholarship.
  • Trump's actions are part of a broader effort to reshape American cultural institutions and history narratives, impacting the Smithsonian and other historical sites.
