Museum director Anthea Hartig strongly disputes the report, calling it misleading while admitting room for improvement. This isn’t the first time Trump has tried to reshape cultural institutions—he previously targeted the Kennedy Center and altered historical narratives at sites like George Washington’s home in Philadelphia.
