TL;DR

The Interior Department outlined a plan, in a Sept. 3 letter from Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, to install 12 temporary warning signs outside the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History at a total cost of $84,000. The move, tied to Trump’s March 2025 executive order Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History, details what the signs would convey but does not specify their language or dimensions, signaling the administration’s effort to portray U.S. history in a particular light.
