Trump Administration Explores Greater Control Over Smithsonian Institution
The Trump administration is investigating ways to exert more direct control over the Smithsonian Institution, a unique entity that typically operates with significant independence. Conservative critics argue that the museum network has lost its focus on American history and adopted ideological biases in its programming. Some advocates are now calling on Congress to intervene to address what they describe as anti-American sentiment within the institution's exhibits.
The behemoth museum network remains highly popular with the public, which may complicate efforts to overhaul its leadership or content. Analysts suggest that attacking the Smithsonian could carry political risks because of the broad affection Americans hold for the institution.
