President Donald Trump’s “Restoring Trust in the Smithsonian Institution” executive order, which requires disclaimer signs characterizing museum exhibits as “inaccurate” and anti-American, closely mirrors claims made by David Barton, a Christian nationalist activist and self-described historian, according to Popular Information’s Judd Legum. “Despite having no degree in history, David Barton calls himself a historian,” Legum explained. Additionally, Legum referenced the “WallBuilders Show,” a daily podcast by Tim Barton, David Barton & Rick Green. Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) called the executive order “one of the dumbest and most bizarre” ever issued.
