Trump Rewrites US History for 250th Anniversary | JQJO

Donald Trump, displaying limited historical knowledge, is shaping a pro-Trump narrative for the US semiquincentennial. An executive order established a White House task force to produce celebratory videos and initiatives, partnering with conservative groups. This effort, criticized as an authoritarian attempt to rewrite history, involves creating a national garden of American heroes and revising federally funded museum presentations. Historians counter this by offering alternative narratives online, emphasizing a more inclusive and nuanced view of American history, highlighting its complexities and contradictions, rather than a sanitized version.
