President Trump, despite not being a conventional student of history, recognizes its influence and has moved to reshape historical narrative and federal institutions in his image. His executive order titled 'Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History' criticizes a so-called revisionist movement that he claims undermines America's achievements. This initiative includes efforts to control historical institutions like the Smithsonian and the National Park Service and plans for the upcoming 250th anniversary of American independence, along with a proposed National Garden of American Heroes. Critics view these actions as an attack on historical integrity.
Trump's executive order emphasizes a need to combat what he perceives as a revisionist movement that threatens America's legacy of liberty and individual rights.
Despite his lack of traditional historical education, Trump is actively reshaping federal institutions that narrate the American story through his vision of history.
