"Everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been—Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future". So declared President Trump recently, on his social media platform, taking aim at U.S. museums nationwide and singling out the Smithsonian Institution’s historical narratives, accusing the Smithsonian of being “OUT OF CONTROL”. The White House has already ordered a sweeping review of Smithsonian museums and exhibitions, to be completed before July 4, 2026—the 250th anniversary of American independence—to make sure they reflect Trump’s preferred version of American history.
