💨 Abstract

In 2025, the White House ordered a comprehensive review of the Smithsonian's museums and exhibitions to align their content with President Donald Trump's narrative of American history. The review will assess public-facing material in eight initial museums, focusing on tone, historical framing, and adherence to "American ideals." The Smithsonian stated its commitment to scholarly excellence and accurate historical presentation while planning to collaborate with the White House and relevant stakeholders.
