CNN's Laura Coates took issue Tuesday night with President Donald Trump's repeated claims that the Smithsonian Institute has gone "out of control" with woke content and used some of his own words from 2017 to prove him wrong.

Presiden Trump said the Smithsonian museums are too fixated on "how bad slavery was" and other negative aspects of United States history.

President Trump confirmed the White House is doing a review Smithsonian museums, where he complained "everything discussed is how horrible our Country is."

President has been attacking museums and institutions across the country for teaching history he deems unflattering

CBS host Tony Dokoupil agreed with Trump's criticism of Smithsonian museums focusing too much on America's negative history rather than celebrating achievements.

A White House official told NBC News that Trump plans to expand his review of museums beyond the Smithsonian, which is based in Washington, D.C.

President Donald Trump threatened to unleash his attorneys on the Smithsonian, saying the institution was fixated on “how bad slavery was.”

The president says the collection of museums shouldn’t focus so heavily on things like slavery and other negative aspects of American history.

Trump orders sweeping Smithsonian review after blasting museums as “woke," vowing to reshape exhibits to emphasize unity, progress and American exceptionalism.
