    "Trump ramps up attacks against Smithsonian in executive action ordering new signage outside exhibits

    The new order comes after a scathing White House report, criticizing the museum.

    President Donald Trump ramped up his attacks against the Smithsonian Institution over the weekend by issuing an executive action that ordered new 'temporary exhibits or signage' to be installed outside the National Museum of American History (NMAH), 'warning' visitors about 'the Ideological Capture' of the museum.

    The 'ideological capture' is a reference to allegations that the White House made against leaders at NMAH in a blistering July 4 report released by the White House Domestic Policy Council, accusing the museum and its leaders of presenting 'a radical view of American history.'

    The report includes dozens of examples of exhibits and materials in exhibits that the White House has determined to be examples of 'radical activism.'

    'Such signage shall notify visitors that the Museum exhibits should be renovated consistent with the findings in the Report and direct visitors to locations and resources for accurate information regarding America's history,' Trump's executive order states.

    (. . .)

    Trump ordered the Department of the Interior, which oversees the National Park Service, to install temporary signs 'along the NPS-maintained sidewalks and walkways used by the public to access the Museum' to inform visitors of the findings of the White House report.

    He also ordered the Interior Department to install new signage or exhibits on NPS-maintained land around the museum 'that corrects inaccurate information presented in the Museum' regarding the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, claiming that the museum 'failed to appropriately appropriately honor' on the nation's 250th anniversary in July.

    (. . .)

    The White House report was born out a review that was launched in response to Trump's March 27, 2025 executive order, 'Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.'

    The executive order directed Vice President J.D. Vance, in consultation with the president's advisers on domestic policy, 'to remove improper ideology' from Smithsonian institutions, arguing that materials that cast America in a 'negative light' have no place in federal cultural institutions.

    'The serious concerns raised in this report are not about a few exhibits or a few controversial labels,; the report says. 'As it stands today, it would benefit most Americans, especially parents bringing their children for a tour, if the Smithsonian's flagship history museum had a label at every entrance that reads: 'Warning: the exhibits in this museum were prepared by people who don't want you to love your country.'

    (. . .)

    Bunch has been leading the Smithsonian since 2019 but the institution is overseen by a 17-member governing body, known as the Board of Regents. Bunch, who met with Trump at the White House on Aug. 28, 2025, repeatedly affirmed the Smithsonian's 'independence' from political influence.

    Referencing his conversations with Trump in a Sept. 3, 2025 letter to the institution's employees, Bunch underscored the independence of the Smithsonian, saying it was 'paramount.' He also told employees that the institution remains committed to telling the 'American story' and 'will always be, a place that welcomes all Americans and the world.'"
