АНУ-ын Ерөнхийлөгч Дональд Трамп Смитсоны Америкийн түүхийн музейг үзвэрүүддээ ташаа мэдээлэл агуулж байна хэмээн үзэж, уг музейд анхааруулга бүхий тэмдэг байрлуулах тухай гүйцэтгэх захирамж гаргажээ.
Тус захирамжийн дагуу Дотоод хэргийн сайд Даг Бүргум музейн гаднах олон нийтийн эзэмшлийн явган хүний замд уг мэдээллийн самбарыг байрлуулах үүрэг хүлээв. Цагаан ордны зүгээс Смитсоны музей нь Америкийн түүхийг үнэн зөвөөр харуулахын оронд нийгмийн шударга ёс болон нийгмийг өөрчлөх үзэл суртлын хэрэгсэл болгон ашиглаж байна хэмээн мэдэгджээ. Музейн нарийн бичгийн дарга Лонни Банч энэхүү дүгнэлтийг эсэргүүцэж, тус байгууллага нь эрдэм шинжилгээний судалгаанд үндэслэн Америкийн түүхийг бүхэлд нь харуулахыг зорьдог хэмээн няцаав.
АНУ-ын засаг захиргаа сүүлийн жилүүдэд үндэсний түүхийг үзэл суртлын үүднээс дахин хянаж, засварлах бодлого баримталж байна. 2025 онд гаргасан Ерөнхийлөгчийн захирамжийн дагуу холбооны удирдлага доорх үндэсний цэцэрлэгт хүрээлэн болон түүхэн дурсгалт газруудад АНУ-ыг дарангуйлагч эсвэл арьс өнгөөр ялгаварлан гадуурхагч гэж үзэхүйц мэдээллийг устгах ажил хийгдэж байна. Үүний хүрээнд уугуул иргэдийн түүх, боолчлол, иргэний эрхийн хөдөлгөөн зэрэг сэдэвтэй холбоотой материалыг хянаж, зарим дурсгалыг буулгах шийдвэр гаргажээ.
Түүнчлэн, Батлан хамгаалахын сайд Пит Хегсет цэргийн алба хаагчдыг Хар арьстны түүх, Эмэгтэйчүүдийн түүх болон Ази гаралтай иргэдийн өвийг тэмдэглэхэд албан ёсны нөөц ашиглахыг хориглосон байна. Мөн цэргийн баазуудын сургуулиудад жендэрийн үзэл суртал болон ялгаварлан гадуурхах шинжтэй гэж үзсэн олон зуун номыг номын сангаас татан авахыг үүрэг болгосон ч 2025 оны аравдугаар сард холбооны шүүхээс уг шийдвэрийг хүчингүй болгосон юм.

President Donald Trump has ordered that the Smithsonian Museum of American History post signs telling visitors its exhibits are presenting inaccurate information.
Trump issued an executive order on Friday ordering that the “warning” signs be placed in front of the museum informing visitors that they are about to be subjected to “inaccurate information presented in the Museum.”
The decision comes on the heels of a July 4 report from the White House that ruled the Smithsonian “cannot be trusted to tell America’s story honestly and in a way that is inspiring, unifying, and worthy of our great republic.”

“Smithsonian leadership does not present American history as a shared national inheritance to be taught and celebrated, but instead views American history as a ‘prime tool’ to advance ideas of social justice and the radical transformation of our society,” Trump wrote in the executive order.
Trump has reportedly tasked his Interior Secretary, Dough Burgum, to install the signs on “sidewalks and walkways used by the public to access the Museum.”
The signs will reportedly not only warn visitors against the Smithsonian, but also correct “inaccurate information presented in the Museum” and point readers to “locations and resources for accurate information regarding America’s history.”

The Smithsonian’s Secretary Lonnie Bunch told NBC News that he believes White House report “is not a fair characterization of the work and totality of the National Museum of American History,” adding that the institution’s work is “driven by scholarship, accuracy and an uncompromising commitment to tell the fullness of America’s story.”
Trump’s signs disparaging the Smithsonian are only the latest in his efforts to repaint American history in MAGA colors.

In 2025, Trump issued an executive order aimed at restoring “truth and sanity to American history.” The order directs federal officials to scrub national parks and federally-managed lands of any suggestion that the U.S. has ever been “inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive.”
NPS workers had to pore over every sign and brochure and watch every film produced by the parks to ensure they were ideologically in-line with Trump’s wishes. Disqualifying language included anything that “inappropriately disparages” Americans or any information “unrelated to the beautify, abundance, and grandeur of the American landscape.”

The topics that were flagged for review by the Trump administration most frequently involved Native American history, slavery, the climate crisis, Black history, and the civil rights movement, according to a Guardian analysis of the materials.
George Washington’s home in Philadelphia is one of exhibits affected by the order. A slavery memorial was installed at the site — where Washington enslaved nine people — but was ordered removed under Trump’s executive orders.
The city of Philadelphia sued to have the memorial returned. In July, the NPS installed new informational panels at the slavery memorial while the lawsuit is litigated, but advocates claim the new panels minimize slavery to protect Washington’s image.
The U.S. military has also been targeted for ideological cleansing under Trump. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth barred military members from using any official resources to celebrate Black History Month, Women’s History Month, and Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and barred any “instruction on Critical Race Theory, DEI, or gender ideology.”
Schools on military bases were also instructed, per Trump’s ideological purity test, to remove hundreds of books from their libraries because they promoted “gender ideology and discriminatory equity ideology.”
In October 2025 a federal judge ruled against Trump’s order and demanded that the books be returned.
