Investing.com -- President Donald Trump announced plans to scrutinize museums across the United States, particularly targeting the Smithsonian Institution, which he described as "out of control" in a post on his Truth Social platform.
Trump criticized museums for focusing on negative aspects of American history, specifically mentioning slavery and what he characterized as an emphasis on the struggles of marginalized groups rather than achievements.
"The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of ’WOKE,’" Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The president stated he has directed his attorneys to examine museums using an approach similar to recent efforts targeting colleges and universities, where he claimed "tremendous progress has been made."
Trump argued that museums should highlight American success stories and focus on the future, declaring that "WOKE IS BROKE" and describing the United States as the "hottest country in the world."
The announcement signals a potential expansion of culture war issues into the museum sector, following similar campaigns in educational institutions.
