President Trump Orders Review of Smithsonian and Nation’s Museums to Purge ‘Woke’ Exhibits

When’s the last time you left a museum feeling proud to be American? If you’re like most people, you can’t remember. That’s not an accident. For decades, our museums have been hijacked by the same radicals who turned our colleges into brainwashing centers. Walk through any major museum today, and what do you find? Exhibits designed to make you ashamed of your country. Display after display about how terrible America is. Nothing about what makes us great.

I’ve watched this happen for years, and here’s what kills me – we’re paying for it. Your tax dollars fund these places. Think about that. You work hard, pay your taxes, and that money goes to museums that teach your kids to hate everything you stand for. The slow takeover of our universities was just the start. Now our museums – the places that should celebrate our incredible history – have become grief counseling centers for people who can’t get over things that happened centuries ago.

But here’s the thing: the same team that cleaned up the mess in our colleges just turned their sights on these woke museums. President Trump dropped a truth bomb Tuesday that sent museum directors scrambling. He’s going after museums nationwide, starting with the Smithsonian. And he’s not messing around.

From ‘The Post Millennial’:

“The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of ‘WOKE.’ The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been — Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future.”

Finally, someone said it out loud. Trump has told his lawyers to start the same process that worked with colleges. Remember how they said it couldn’t be done? Remember how university presidents swore they’d never change? Look at them now. The DEI offices are shutting down. The crazy anti-American classes are disappearing. That same playbook is coming to a museum near you.

From Colleges to Culture

The blueprint is already proven. Since January, Trump’s team has been dismantling discrimination disguised as “diversity” on campuses. They went after the antisemitism. They cut off funding to schools that wouldn’t play ball. And guess what? It worked. Now they’re taking that winning formula to museums.

This all started back in March with Trump’s executive order – he called it “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.” I love that title. Because that’s exactly what we need. Sanity. The order told VP Vance to clean up the Smithsonian’s 21 museums. The message was simple: You take taxpayer money? Then you serve all Americans. Not just the ones who hate America.

The Resistance Mobilizes

You should see the museum crowd panicking. It’s actually pretty funny. The American Alliance of Museums is crying about “censorship.” Are you kidding me? Teaching kids to love their country is censorship now? The Japanese American National Museum says fixing biased displays is “erasing history.” These are the same people who erased every positive story about America for the last 20 years.

Let that sink in. Museum directors think balanced history is “propaganda.” They want your tax money. But they also want to keep teaching that America is evil. When someone suggests maybe – just maybe – we should mention something good about our country, they act like the world is ending.

America’s 250th at Stake

Here’s what really matters. America turns 250 in 2026. That’s next year, people. We have a choice. Our museums can celebrate the most successful experiment in freedom ever. Or they can keep pushing guilt and grievance. What story will we tell our kids?

This isn’t just about feelings. Museums bring in tourists. They shape what kids learn. Millions of people – Americans and visitors – learn about our country through these places. Remember when the Smithsonian said “work ethic” and “planning ahead” were bad “white values”? That’s not just stupid. It’s insulting to everyone. And it attacks the exact things that made America prosperous.

Key Takeaways

• Trump targets museums nationwide after successful college DEI reforms
• Smithsonian called “out of control” for anti-American narratives
• Museums must celebrate American greatness for 2026’s 250th birthday
• Taxpayer-funded institutions will face same accountability as universities
