”Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything that is brought up is how terrible our country is, how bad slavery was”, states the president, and writes further that they do not bring up anything about success or the future.
The White House has previously stated that it wants a number of museums within the Smithsonian sphere to become more ”patriotic”.
The Trump administration has previously initiated a comprehensive review of eight museums that exist under the Smithsonian umbrella, including the National Portrait Gallery, the National Museum of American History and the National Museum of Natural History. The measure is based on the president's order to remove ”divisive or anti-American ideology”.
