Conservative perspective on Trump's authority over history

Season 2025 Episode 122 | 6m 26s

President Trump has accused the Smithsonian and other museums of promoting “narratives that portray American and Western values as inherently harmful and oppressive.” Previously, Jeffrey Brown spoke with a historian critical of the president’s moves. Now, he has a different view from conservative Christopher Scalia. It's part of our series, Art in Action, and our arts and culture coverage, CANVAS.
