Signs "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History" executive order

Trump signed Executive Order 14253 on March 27, 2025, directing the removal of exhibits on systemic racism and gender identity from federal museums and parks. The order requires that historical sites present narratives it characterizes as "solemn and uplifting," and instructs cabinet members to defund programs that do not meet this criterion.
