President Donald Trump is pushing for revisions of Smithsonian exhibitions to align them with his interpretation of American history. This push includes a review of museum content and exhibitions that reflect his views. Jen Psaki criticized Trump's historical understanding by showcasing several of his gaffes, highlighting his lack of familiarity with American history. The cultural implications of his attempts to influence historical narratives through museum content are concerning to many observers, as they question the accuracy of historical representation under such revised narratives.
Here's the headline from The Wall Street Journal yesterday. Here's what it said, quote, White House to vet Smithsonian Museums to fit Trump's historical vision.
The White House plans to conduct a far reaching review of Smithsonian Museum exhibitions, materials and operations to ensure the museums align with President Trump's interpretation of American history.
Donald Trump is not exactly what I would call an expert when it comes to American history.
