Trump says the Smithsonian is too woke. We visited to find out USA Today
From articleTrump says the Smithsonian is too woke. We visited five of its museums to find out
The Trump administration announced a review of the Smithsonian Institute, starting with eight of its high-profile museums. USA TODAY visited five and interviewed nearly 50 museumgoers on their views.
USA TODAY
- The White House announced on Aug. 12 a review of the Smithsonian Institute, starting with eight museums.
- Then on Aug. 21, the White House posted an article on its website listing a host of exhibits and artwork it found objectionable.
- In a social media post, President Donald Trump said the museums are out of control and focus too much on how bad Slavery was.
- Whatever changes come from the review could ripple far beyond the Smithsonian, an organization seen as a flagship that other museums across the nation follow.
WASHINGTON Hes renamed a body of water and a mountain. He put himself at the top of the Kennedy Center. Now, wants to put his stamp on the Smithsonian Institution and
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, Trump said in a recent social media post.
The Smithsonian oversees 21 museums and libraries, the National Zoo as well as research and education centers around the country.
Infographic from articleIn March, focused on how history is presented. Then in August, the administration , starting with eight of its most-visited and high-profile museums and it took issue with.
Many focus on race, sexuality and immigration. One was an animated portrait of Anthony Fauci, the former National Institutes of Health official who became a frequent target of Trump. A number of the exhibits flagged by the White House are no longer or never were put on display or were only posted online.
The goal of the review, a letter to the Smithsonian said, was to celebrate American exceptionalism, remove divisive or partisan narratives, and restore confidence in our shared cultural institutions.
In a statement to USA TODAY, the White House reiterated it was committed to rooting out Woke and divisive ideology in our government and institutions.
Our Smithsonian should exhibit history in an accurate, honest, and factual way, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said.
The review is expected to be finished in early 2026, and the institution has said it plans to continue to collaborate constructively with the White House. The administration has not yet ordered the removal of any items.
The Smithsonian did not return a request for comment from USA TODAY.
Whatever the changes, they could ripple far beyond the Smithsonian.
Stephanie Brown, a historian and museologist who left her post as assistant director of museum studies at Johns Hopkins University earlier this year, described the Smithsonian Institution as the flagship other museums across the country follow.
Part of a museums job, especially the Smithsonians job, is reflecting the nation, reflecting who we are as a people, Brown said. And who we are as a people is a pretty messy thing.
Amid the review, USA TODAY in late August visited five Smithsonian locations in Washington, DC, that are among the first to undergo a review by the Trump administration to document and describe many of the exhibits.
We interviewed nearly 50 museumgoers on the sidewalks of the National Mall while members of the National Guard and federal agents patrolled nearby, another one of Trumps recent directives.
Many said they were confused and troubled by the accusations that the museums are too woke. Broadly, they said they believed the Smithsonian museums present a balanced view of American history.

Trump Accuses Foes of Mortgage Fraud, Doesnt Look Into His Own Cabinet Members
At least three of Trumps cabinet members call multiple homes their primary residences on mortgages.A Really Well Insulated Attic
A Really Well Insulated Attic
By , Sep 04, 2025
If the entire foundation falls out from under your house, it does no good to have a really well-insulated attic, the judge said. It sure would be nice if someone had our backs. An anonymous federal judge made that comment to NBC News in that published this morning.
The attic they are referring to is the U.S. Supreme Court. A Court that is increasingly viewed in some corners as having abandoned the role Article III of the Constitution assigns to it, to act as a check and balance on the executive branch. But the concerns the judges expressed were about the process the Supreme Court is using to make decisions. The reporting was not an inquiry into either the substance of the high courts rulings or the politics behind it all.
Its all about the shadow docket, a term youre familiar with if you read Civil Discourse. Its a slightly snarky term coined by legal academics to refer to the Courts emergency docket, which is used for time-sensitive issues, like last-minute requests to stay executions in death penalty cases. The Court also hears appeals involving emergency civil relief on this docket. That means that cases where pro-democracy lawyers seek injunctions to block some of the most egregious steps this administration is taking land, with increasing frequency, on the shadow docket, and thats where they get decided.
But these cases arent like the cases on the Supreme Courts regular docket, the ones that get fully briefed, orally argued, and then decided on the merits in carefully crafted, lengthy opinions that fully set out the decision and the legal basis for it. This kind of shadow docket ruling happens early in a case, and the decision, as in the birthright citizenship cases where the Court rejected the use of nationwide injunctions to obtain relief but didnt weigh in on whether Trump could erase birthright citizenship from the Constitution, are on procedural issues, not the substantive merits of a case. The decisions are typically unexplained and unsigned. Theres usually no opinion. Maybe you get a couple of paragraphs. Sometimes a stinging dissent. But there is very little basis for understanding why the court ruled the way it did and applying it in the lower courts.
This is frustrating for us. Weve had this experience in a number of cases. It happened when the Supreme Court on letting the Trump administration deport noncitizens to third countries (countries other than their country of origin), desperately unsafe places like South Sudan. It happened when the Court DOGEs foray into Americans confidential data held by Social Security. The Court Trump fire members of independent agencies.
Apparently, its frustrating for judges in lower courts as well. After all, they are being called upon to apply the Supreme Courts decisions. Shadow docket rulings are precedent that lower courts must follow. But how do you apply something when there is no explanation for why it happened Thats the position the lower courts are in and its what led 12 federal judges to take the unprecedented step of speaking anonymously to an NBC reporter about whats going on at the Supreme Court.
The reporting characterized it like this:
Lower court judges are handed contentious cases involving the Trump administration. They painstakingly research the law to reach their rulings. When they go against Trump, administration officials and allies criticize the judges in harsh terms. The government appeals to the Supreme Court, with its 6-3 conservative majority.
And then the Supreme Court, in emergency rulings, swiftly rejects the judges decisions with little to no explanation.
The judges had a deeper criticism too. One that is unique to the time of the Trump administration, where the president and his cronies have attacked judges who rule against the presidents policies or against him on personal matters, often placing those judges in the crosshairs of his supporters. As one judge put it, A short rebuttal from the Supreme Court, they argue, makes it seem like they did shoddy work and are biased against Trump. Trump cronies like Stephen Miller have accused judges who rule against the administration of engaging in a judicial coup and there have been calls for their impeachment. One judge said that the Supreme Court is effectively endorsing Millers claims that the judiciary is trying to subvert the presidency.
This unique criticism of the Supreme Court from lower court judges comes as the Court has granted 17 of 23 emergency requests made by the administration, asking it to undo lower court decisions on an emergency basis. The NBC report concluded that five of the 17 cases were decided without any substantive reasoning to back them up and seven of the others had less than three pages of explanation. And were talking here about highly important decisions about the scope of presidential power. Supreme Court decisions routinely exceed 100 pages.
