President Donald Trump ordered a review of several of the Smithsonian's 21 museums and galleries, criticizing exhibits for focusing on the nation's worst aspects and calling the institution out of control. He instructed lawyers to apply the same review process used on colleges and universities and asserted that WOKE IS BROKE. The Organisation of American Historians expressed deep concern and argued no president has legitimate authority to impose such a review. The Smithsonian receives most of its budget from Congress while remaining independent in decision-making. The review was ordered ahead of the nation's 250th anniversary.
United States President Donald Trump has said the nation's Smithsonian museums only discuss horrible topics, including how bad Slavery was, as his administration continues a review into the institution's exhibits for their Americanism. In a post on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday, Trump said the Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, including how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been.
Elaborating on a review of several of the Smithsonian's 21 museums and galleries ordered by the White House last week, Trump said he has instructed his lawyers to go through the Museums and start the exact same process that has been done with Colleges and Universities where tremendous progress has been made. This Country cannot be WOKE, because WOKE IS BROKE, Trump added.
The Organisation of American Historians (OAH) has expressed deep concern and dismay at the White House's unprecedented request to review the Smithsonian's exhibits, adding that no president has the legitimate authority to impose such a review. The Smithsonian receives most of its budget from Congress but is independent of the government in decision-making. The OAH also said that it is particularly distressing to see this effort of historical censorship and sanitising tied to the 250th anniversary of the nation's founding.
