White House Accuses Smithsonian Leadership of Political Activism
The report says the museum has been captured by radical activists and warns that Trump may seek to install his own leadership team.
- A White House Domestic Policy Council report released on Independence Day brands Smithsonian Institution leadership as "radical activists," signaling President Donald Trump may prepare to install his own team overseeing the National Museum of American History.
- In March, Trump revealed plans to force changes via an executive order titled "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History," targeting funding for programs he claimed advanced "divisive narratives" and "improper ideology."
- According to the report, the National Museum "confronts visitors with materials intended to undermine faith in American institutions" and claims ideological capture has moved the museum's mission toward "extreme political activism."
- Historian Lonnie Bunch defended the museum's responsibility to understand history, stating "America's greatest strength, it's not running away from its history," while Gov. Josh Shapiro accused Trump of attempting to "rewrite history."
- This effort reflects a wider campaign against cultural institutions, including forcing policy changes at Columbia University through funding threats and re-installing interpretive panels at a site associated with President George Washington.
