President Donald Trump on Thursday announced a sweeping plan to reshape the Smithsonian Institution, signing an executive order aimed at cutting funding to programs he claims promote “divisive narratives” and “improper ideology.”

Trump said a “concerted and widespread” effort over the past decade has sought to rewrite American history by replacing “objective facts” with ideologically driven distortions.

The order places Vice President JD Vance in charge of leading the effort to eliminate what the administration deems “improper ideology” across all branches of the Smithsonian, including its museums, research centers, educational initiatives, and even the National Zoo.
