Trump’s Trigger Warnings
Donald Trump directed the Department of the Interior to place signs outside the National Museum of American History warning visitors about 'ideological capture' based on a contested report. The order follows criticism of the Smithsonian's leadership and aims to pressure the institution to align with Trump's vision of patriotic storytelling, while the Smithsonian maintains its commitment to complex historical narratives.
