On March 27, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order aimed at revitalizing key cultural institutions and countering what he described as a "divisive ideology" affecting the understanding of American history. According to Trump, there has been a concentrated effort over the past decade to alter the historical narrative, presenting an "ideology aimed at diminishing American achievement."
Through this Executive Order, Trump intends to reestablish what he sees as truth in the portrayal of history and enhance federal sites that celebrate American heritage. The order's purpose, as explained by Trump, is to restore truth and sanity to historical accounts and ensure that these narratives celebrate "America’s extraordinary heritage."
President Trump expressed his dedication to fostering a sense of national pride among Americans by spotlighting accomplishments throughout the nation's history.
