President Donald J. Trump Restores Trust in the Smithsonian Institution – The White House

RESTORING TRUST IN THE SMITHSONIAN: President Donald J. Trump has issued an Executive Order aimed at restoring trust in the Smithsonian Institution. According to the Domestic Policy Council’s report, Saving America’s Story: How Ideological Capture at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History Erases Our Heritage, the Smithsonian is not adequately conveying America’s historical narrative with the necessary honesty and pride.

  • The Executive Order instructs the Secretary of the Interior, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the Administrator of General Services, and the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy to use their authorities to address the issues identified in the report, ensuring compliance with legal and financial requirements.
  • Furthermore, the Secretary of the Interior is tasked with placing temporary signage near the Museum to inform visitors of the report’s findings and provide accurate historical information.
  • Additionally, temporary exhibits or signage are to be set up by the Secretary of the Interior to correct any misinformation presented at the National Museum of American History, particularly to honor America’s Founders during its 250th year.

SAVING AMERICA’S STORY FROM CORROSIVE IDEOLOGY: Over the past decade, there has been a notable attempt to alter American history and impose an unfounded ideology that undermines national heroes and achievements.

  • The report by the Domestic Policy Council indicates that Smithsonian and Museum leadership have shifted the Museum’s mission from celebrating a shared national heritage to engaging in extreme political activism, influenced by Marxism, which divides and discourages Americans.
  • The report also highlights that the Smithsonian is not fulfilling its duty to accurately present America’s history, despite receiving over $1 billion annually from taxpayers.
  • In response, President Trump is working to return the Smithsonian to its original mission of truthful historical representation.

CELEBRATING OUR HERITAGE: President Trump is dedicated to ensuring American history is celebrated accurately and with pride, recognizing the nation’s progress, liberty, and innovation.

  • On his first day in office, President Trump signed an Executive Order creating a task force to prepare for America’s 250th birthday, fostering a renewed appreciation for American history and encouraging citizens to explore the nation’s beauty and innovation for the next 250 years. The task force has organized unique events, such as Rededicate 250, The Great American State Fair, and others.
  • This Order also aims to protect American monuments from vandalism and supports the creation of the National Garden of American Heroes.
  • In March 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order to restore factual integrity to American history by revitalizing cultural institutions and countering divisive ideologies.
  • Also, in March 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order to enhance Washington, D.C., as a symbol of national pride, establishing the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force to restore and beautify public spaces, including the installation of statues at Freedom Plaza to honor American Revolution heroes.
  • In August 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order to uphold respect for the American flag and ensure those who desecrate it face legal consequences.

Eliminating Waste, Fraud, and Abuse in Medicaid My Administration has been relentlessly committed to rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse in Government programs to preserve and protect them for those who rely most on them. The Medicaid program was designed to be a program to compassionately provide taxpayer dollars to healthcare providers who offer care to the most vulnerable Americans. To keep payments reasonable, billable costs for such care were historically capped at the same level that healthcare providers could receive from Medicare. The State and Federal Governments jointly shared this cost burden to ensure those of lesser means did not go untreated. Under the Biden Administration, States and healthcare providers were permitted to game the system. For example, States “taxed” healthcare providers, but sent the same money back to them in the form of a “Medicaid payment,” which automatically unlocked for healthcare providers an additional “burden-sharing” payment from the Federal Government. Through this gimmick, the State could avoid contributing money toward Medicaid services, meaning the State no longer had a reason to be prudent in the amount of reimbursement provided. Instead of paying Medicare rates, many States that utilize these arrangements now pay the same healthcare providers almost three times the Medicare amount, a practice encouraged by the Biden Administration. These State Directed Payments have rapidly accelerated, quadrupling in magnitude over the last 4 years and reaching $110 billion in 2024 alone. This trajectory threatens the Federal Treasury and Medicaid’s long-term stability, and the imbalance between Medicaid and Medicare patients threatens to jeopardize access to care for our seniors. I pledged to protect and improve these important Government healthcare programs for those that rely on them. Seniors on Medicare and Medicaid recipients both deserve access to quality care in a system free from the fraud, waste, and abuse, that enriches the unscrupulous and jeopardizes the programs themselves. We will take action to continue to love and cherish the Medicare and Medicaid programs to ensure they are preserved for those who need them most. The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall therefore take appropriate action to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid, including by ensuring Medicaid payments rates are not higher than Medicare, to the extent permitted by applicable law. This memorandum is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person. DONALD J. TRUMP
