Trump: 'The Smithsonian is out of control' | DW News

Everyone who has ever visited Washington, D.C., chances are you've visited the Smithsonian, a network of museums often referred to as America's attic. However, President Trump doesn't like everything kept in the "attic."
He claims that some exhibitions reflect an "improper ideology," focusing too much on the negative aspects of American history and not enough on the positive. DW's Janelle Dumalaon explores the controversy.
