Trump Orders Smithsonian History Signs | Global News

President Trump has ordered Smithsonian museums to install signs warning visitors that some exhibits are inaccurate, citing a White House report that claims the institution fails to present history in an “inspiring, unifying, and worthy” way. The museum’s director, Anthea M. Hartig, strongly disputes the report, calling it misleading while acknowledging room for improvement. This move follows a pattern of the administration seeking to reshape historical narratives at key sites, including George Washington’s home, where new panels have been criticized for softening slavery’s role. Though the Smithsonian operates independently under a Board of Regents, the White House continues to pressure the institution, targeting funding for programs deemed divisive — signaling a broader effort to control how American history is told.
