anti-American

Recently, in an executive order, President Trump directed the removal of “improper, divisive, or anti-American ideology” from the Smithsonian Institution.

Trade tensions between the U.S. and other nations have already led to some anti-American backlash.

Supporters like Carr and museum visitors have rejected Trump's claims that the museums are divisive and anti-American.

In a 2024 campaign video, Trump declared that "We are going to get this anti-American insanity out of our institutions once and for all. We are going to have real education in America."

Another provision of the decree appears to take action to restore monuments to Confederate leaders on federal land under the auspices of rejecting “anti-American ideology.”
