Trump Orders Temporary Signs and New Exhibit at Smithsonian Museum

  • President Trump has ordered the installation of signs outside the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History to direct visitors to what the White House describes as 'accurate' information about American history.
  • The executive order also includes the creation of a temporary exhibit aimed at correcting what the administration considers inaccurate historical information, building on previous criticisms of the museum's displays.
  • The order follows a report from Trump's Domestic Policy Council, which accused the museum of failing to present history in an inspiring and unifying way.
