In a controversial move, former U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he has instructed his lawyers to inspect museums in Washington. He aims to pressure these institutions, specifically the Smithsonian, in a manner akin to his previous efforts with universities.
Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the Smithsonian Institution, accusing it of highlighting only the negative aspects of U.S. history, such as slavery and the struggles of marginalized groups. He criticized the absence of narratives about America's success and future potential.
The former president suggested that similar actions taken against colleges and universities have yielded significant progress, implying a need for ideological reforms in cultural institutions.
