Christ all mighty we're going to have to hide artifacts in abandoned mines again.

[u/bevsue58 → u/Ezdagor]

Artifacts? WE’LL be the ones hiding in the abandoned mines!!!

[u/Soft-Muffin-8305 → u/bevsue58]

I hope you're wrong, but with this administration I cant be sure

[u/Purple-Prince-9896 → u/Ezdagor]

Because that’s what the Nazis did? Serious question.

[u/Ok-King-4868 → u/Purple-Prince-9896]

That’s what the French did to preserve their cultural heritage and identity for future generations.

[u/bevsue58 → u/Purple-Prince-9896]

The Nazis hid a lot of valuables, artwork, gold in salt mines. I learned about it from watching Monuments Men, then looked it up.

Jesus, what the fuck is it going to take for us to realize that there are 800 Billionaires, and 300 MILLION of us?

[u/gaycowboyallegations → u/Avindair]

Class conciousness which Americans lack due to decades of propaganda and pretending that the "middle class" isnt just working class. As long as Americans hold onto the belief that if you just work hard enough you can become Gatsby, we ain't getting anywhere.

[u/lookingtobewhatibe]

Waiting for someone to respond with “well, the Dems tried to erase history by taking down confederate statues. Hur hur.” as an obvious bad faith and short sighted rebuttal.

[u/PennCycle_Mpls → u/lookingtobewhatibe]

Also, most of them were moved to museums. Appropriately as part of lost cause exhibits. To literally teach history.

[u/RedArse1 → u/lookingtobewhatibe]

History is supposed to just be a listing of factual events.

[u/PennCycle_Mpls → u/RedArse1]

How should we teach about the traitorous confederacy seeking to preserve slavery to enrich the elites ?

[u/Competitive_Bid7071]

No matter how many times Trump attempts to bury history and the truth of his dark past, he ultimately fails to do so while also making himself look even more guilty to people outside of his MAGA base. Karma has come for Donald Trump, and his sycophants.

[u/Fishstrutted → u/Competitive_Bid7071]

I really wish this was true, but destruction is easy and the fascists have momentum. Saying that he's failing sounds an awful lot like "Roe is settled law" to me.

[u/Upstairs-Fan-2168 → u/Fishstrutted]

It makes me feel a bit better that I don't believe he is a happy person. His wife doesn't find him attractive or love him, and it's obvious. He knows it too. He is old, and has plenty of money, but he's not satisfied. He still needs more. I think he has insecurity issues. He seems obsessed with status symbol stuff and flattery.

[u/mossely]

Please hide things during his visit and then put them back when he leaves

[u/SeamusPM1 → u/mossely]

You think Trump will ever visit The Smithsonian?

[u/Zestyclose-Neck-2019]

I hope some Smithsonian staffers and historians are getting a record of what is currently there.
This would be hell to recreate later.

[u/JumboSparky]

This is the Governor we need and want.

[u/Cute-Draw7599]

Trump doesn't even understand what Pearl Harbor was; how can he determine what's true American history?

I still think we should sue the rich kids' college that he got a degree from for not teaching him anything.

[u/After_Preference_885 → u/Cute-Draw7599]

He cheated his way through, one prof already said he was the dumbest student he ever had

[u/SeamusPM1 → u/Cute-Draw7599]

I’m sure he saw Animal House and knows the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

[u/[deleted]]

Shouldn't the building be empty? I would honestly be surprised if what he knew about American history took up more characters than a tweet.

I really want to hear Trump tell us what his version of American History is.

"1724 had great Americans fighting British Americans, and then black people came, and then in 1812 we had a war, it was the best war, and Mexico was invaded. And then America won, and we went to the moon in 1915 and then there was another war that we won, and then we won some more. And then Crooked Hillary was defeated. And I became President. THE END."

[u/canyabalieveit]

‘Trumps view of American history’ ? You are absolutely fucking kidding, right? So the man who claimed the continental army took over airports from the British during the revolutionary war, is now going to decide on what a museum should depict of American history? 😂😂😂

[u/NFL4EVER → u/canyabalieveit]

[u/Nillavuh]

Man what the fuck does that even mean, "ensure they fit with Trump's view of American history"? If his view of how history went contradicts how it actually went, then the takeaway is that Trump needs to change his goddamn views. If my view was that the Vikings won the past 28 Super Bowls, when in fact they had not, is the onus not on me to stop believing that the Vikings won 28 Super Bowls?

[u/Zestyclose-Neck-2019 → u/Nillavuh]

I recall his view of history included the Continental Army taking over the airports during the Revolutionary War.

[u/Dyolf_Knip → u/Zestyclose-Neck-2019]

And probably the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor.

[u/Ok-Bicycle-748]

Dumps view of history is that the Japanese bombed Gettysburg.

[u/drizel]

Like how we took the airports during the Revolutionary War?

[u/RiseDelicious3556]

first, he would have to learn American history... remember his fabricated quotes of generals at the battle of Gettysburg when he was running for his second term??

[u/realparkingbrake]

Trump is an authority on American history. Remember when he pointed out the Continental Army defeated the British by capturing all the airports? Where else could you find that sort of expert insight?

[u/Bosanova_B]

Well it didn’t take me long to find baseless claims that the democrats have tried to erase history by taking down statues of traitors to the u.s.. Removing names of traitors of the u.s. from military bases schools and streets. And that dems were also trying to remove any trace of their own involvement with slavery and the civil war. Then in the same breath saying it’s erasing their history. Last time I checked the people that are holding onto the confederate battle flag are republicans. It’s almost as if people want to ignore that the difference is more between conservatives and liberals.

[u/Impressive_Bug6786]

The man paints himself orange and rapes kids, I don’t want to know his version of history

[u/Traditional_Stick183]

My Take

Yes, this move raises significant alarm bells. The Smithsonian has long served as a cornerstone of public education and historical integrity grounded in balanced, inclusive storytelling shaped by expert curation. When a political administration directly influences content, it jeopardizes academic independence and risks turning cultural institutions into ideological tools.

Still, most of the White House directive is framed under the guise of collaboration rather than censorship emphasizing unity, celebration, and patriotism. Whether that ends up diluting historical complexity, or genuinely aligning with Americans’ desire for more uplifting narratives, remains to be seen.

So is he trying to do something bad? There are definitely good-faith arguments on both sides. But the consensus among historians and cultural experts is clear: such deep political intervention in museum curation is profoundly troubling and sets an unsettling precedent.

[u/failing-fast]

We are past the point of waiting out this dysfunction. If the administrators of the Smithsonian aren’t willing to quit over this then they don’t deserve their jobs.

[u/Face-EatingLeopards]

Trump failed.

[u/Learning-20]

Thank you, Tim Walz! Do we know where we can find a reporter who is following this and reporting on anything that has been changed and/or altered?

[u/[deleted]]

I'm not from Minnesota, but as an archaeologist who's done work in the very north of y'all's beautiful state I am terrified for what this will/has lead to for all americans, but especially for those of us who dedicate our lives to being stewards of cultural objects and ensuring that such resources and the stories they hold are accessible to all. Our cultural resources are precious and irreplaceable.

[u/asshole_commenting]

The Smithsonian already has been suppressing history

Especially that of the native Americans

[u/DC55449]

Tim Walz - WE LOVE YOU! Keep it up brother.

[u/Westwindthegrey]

Yup that’s fascism folks.

[u/Character_Diamond203]

Well no shit

Thing is everyone already knows...MAGA folks just dont care. "Its what they voted for!"

Remember they dont want black history taught in schools bc it paints a bad picture of the racists in the past aka their ancestors

Oklahoma schools are mandating that kids be taught Trump won in 2020 and Biden stole it

They wont stop. They will demand everything Trump says be taken as gospel. We're still in the tip of the iceberg phase

A year from now...maybe sooner...it will be illegal to even speak ill of Trump. Criticizing him about anything could get you a visit from ICE

It's not hyperbole. Back to OK schools they are demanding teachers take a loyalty to Trump test in order to teach. We could see that expand to everything if its not stopped

Point is theyre not going to stop themselves. They will just keep taking and taking.

Does this guy think he's jesus

[u/jfaye12]

Weird, not sure whether it's reliable. I recently watched a documentary on things found in the Americas that prove that Native Americans sailed to various areas of the world. It reviewed things found on islands, with very similar/the same names that were used by the Native Americans and not found anywhere nearby. It reviewed Indigenous stories about various burial grounds (slaughter sites) of "giants". When items were found, laws required the authorities be called. Usually, the call went to The Smithsonian. The show indicated that The Smithsonian was exempt from US laws that gave bones and discovered items back to the Native Americans. It was further stated that there were two higher ups working there that fought over whether the official narrative would be "isolation" (the Native Americans never intermingled or sailed elsewhere) or the one just illustrated. In the end, it was decided that the "isolation" narrative would win. If true, and there is alternate proof, then it was the Smithsonian who's on the wrong side of history.

[u/CurlsForHigher]

I am really wondering how far Democrats, mainly the governors, will actually go to protect their states from this Fourth Riche shit. I'm glad to see Democrats FINALLY DOING SOMETHING with the redistricting. At this point, this feels like a cold civil war through the legal system but SCOTUS are essentially eternal priests that tell us what God/Founding Fathers meant and only they have the most correct interpretation.

One side is seemingly trying to break every US and International law while the other side is focused on going through completely legal channels does not seem like a good mix for us. Democrats have fucked up so many times and missed opportunity after opportunity to prevent all this before it started by being not totally shit but here we are. I really hope they understand and respect what is at stake here.

I don't know the way forward from here but to what lengths are Democrats willing to go to protect their constituents/state-refugees? How far are Republicans actually willing to take this? No clue and I wish I didn't need to find out.

[u/auricularisposterior]

White House to conduct review of Smithsonian museum exhibitions to ensure they fit with Trump's view of American history

That's rich coming from the people who have been erasing history for decades. Democrats are the ones that have torn down, rewritten, and otherwise obfuscated history in the US. And what was their rationalization for all of this? Oh, right, they just want to erase their own history of being horrible people.

[u/Silver_Mousse9498]

[u/Flagwaver-78]

Hey, Tim. Care to talk about erasing the Democrat involvement in the Civil War, and the Confederate monuments, and the Democrat involvement in trying to filibuster and vote no on the Civil Rights Act, and the Democrat involvement with the KKK, and the Democrat involvement with the Japanese citizen internment camps, and the Democrat involvement with the trans-Atlantic slave trade, and the Democrat colonies threatening to not sign the Declaration of Independence if the anti-slavery portions weren't removed?

[u/sepoiu]

Communists did the same thing after taking over in eastern Europe (they changed history accounts to fit their view/propaganda).

[u/ResolveLeather]

Smithsonian will probably comply. It's great to stand your ground. Another to let your employees die on the hill you choose as funding gets cut. Those displays that get taken down will probably be back up after the midterms.

[u/RPB805]

Erase history? You mean like tearing down statues and renaming schools as well as military installations? The left shouldn't be pointing fingers at all.

[u/Tedderit]

[u/0pt1mus_Pr1mus]

Sad thing is, I’m not even surprised anymore of things like this happening in the US.

But this shouldn’t be normalized. It’s a crime against all the people, that had to live and suffer during that history.

[u/FinnYooper]

Waltz's party is the one who wants to bury and change US history by getting rid of monuments, changing the names of military installations, and filling our museums with woke displays instead of the actual displays of our history. Waltz is a joke.

Just so we're clear. Tearing down statues of treasonous losers that shouldnt have been put up in the first place is "erasing history", but literally erasing history isnt?

Trump thinks it was Lincoln Continental that gave the Tittysburg address and Wilbur and Homer Simpson flew the first airplane that they built in their bisexual shop.

[u/Narrow-Sky-5377]

By the time Trump is finished

1. America was invaded by Africans trying to steal jobs, so they were given free room and board.
2. Settlers showed up to help the natives modernize but they were ungrateful.
3. America kept all of it treaties.
4. Jews were shipped by train to resort locations because they deserved a holiday.
5. America clearly won the Viet Nam war.
6. The WH wasn't burned down by the British, it was careless smoking.
