President Donald Trump has signed an executive order titled Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.
The order seeks to counteract what Trump describes as the increasing influence of ideological agendas that distort the country’s historical legacy and undermine national unity.
Trump’s executive order asserts that a revisionist movement grew during the Biden Administration that attempted to frame America’s founding principles and historical milestones as inherently oppressive rather than recognizing the nation’s remarkable progress in advancing liberty and individual rights.
Trump criticizes the promotion of a sense of national shame, rather than pride.
In his order, he mentions the Smithsonian Institution, which has become a vehicle for “divisive, race-centered ideology.” Examples include exhibitions such as The Shape of Power: Stories of Race and American Sculpture at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, which infused race into the art of sculpture.
The executive order seeks to remove “improper ideology” from federal museums and restore them as places of historical celebration rather than constant and unrelenting self criticism.
The executive order instructs key White House advisors to work through the Smithsonian Board of Regents to eliminate ideological influences and ensure that taxpayer funds do not support exhibits or programs that “degrade shared American values.”
The directive also explicitly prohibits the American Women’s History Museum from recognizing men as women.
The order mandates the restoration of historical monuments, memorials, and markers that have been removed or altered since Jan. 1, 2020, in “a false reconstruction of American history.” The Secretary of the Interior is tasked with identifying and reinstating such historical artifacts, ensuring they honor America’s achievements rather than disparage its past.
It also provides funding for the restoration of Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, home to Independence Hall.
Trump has set a deadline for the completion of these improvements by July 4, 2026, marking the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, when the park is expected to be a focal point of national celebration.
And the next Administration will undo the Trump Administration’s efforts to reverse the Biden Administration’s efforts that revised the first Trump administration’s initiative that shelved the Obama Administration’s directives to….
Yes we have shameful incidents in our past but as a whole we were the beacon of light for the rest of the world and we can become that again if we accentuate the positive. A turn in the right direction finally.
But will there be anything left to celebrate by then? It’s looking bleak.
The future will be bright and there will be plenty to celebrate if only someone figures out what happened to the 82 million votes that were cast for Joe in 2020. That was the most votes ever received by any President.
There werent that many covid deaths or were there?
Dawg boy,
Yes it is looking BLEAK for you elitist commie backbenchers.
The populace has rejected your failed ideas. Gosh, how did that ever happen?
Seriously, I hope you don’t choke on your TDS vomit.
Cheers!
Inflation rose again in February and Trump spends his time on this? Time to focus on the economy. Tariffs won’t solve any of this. You no longer need to wonder how it would be possible to bankrupt a casino. Exhibit A is now in office.
I know truth and sanity are not your strong suit, but inflation did not “rise” in February. The Consumer Price Index increased by 0.2% from January to February, which was actually. a slower pace than the 0.5% increase seen from December 2024 to January 2025. If anything, inflation slightly cooled. There is no treatment for Trump Derangement Syndrome, sorry to report, and you have a terminal case of TDS and habitual lying.
JC – For February 2025 the core personal consumption expenditures price index showed a 0.4% increase for the month, the biggest monthly gain since January 2024, putting the 12-month inflation rate at 2.8%. Jose, we all realize that with your educational background you are more to be pitied than blamed but please try to follow the story. I stated February and you ramble on about January. PS – I know some of you are wanting updates so yes egg prices are still high and your President is golfing again today on your dime.
One step. As evidenced from yesterday’s “town hall”, the forces of insanity are hammering at the gates. It will take a generation or more to repair the damage these leftists have inflicted on our society and culture.
I recall the extirpation of the selective and carefully intended history of the daughter’s of the confederacy reflected in the form of statues enshrining the “Lost Cause” from several sites in NC, notably UNC campus. A Fraught, painful, but necessary uprooting. Here Trump is trying to negate that hard work, progress many call it.
I’ve left a message of complaint with some nice young folks in the DC office of the representative I helped elect in 2024, Rep Nick Begich. Perhaps you should do the same.
Trump=Racist
So, yes, he’s following history closely
