     A White House report brands the leadership of the Smithsonian Institution -- especially at the National Museum of American History -- as radical activists who cannot be trusted,
     indicating that Trump may be preparing to install his own team of MAGA yes-men

     The report released late on Independence Day by the White House Domestic Policy Council
     comes in the midst of Trump’s aggressive campaign to overhaul some of Washington’s most sacred cultural and historic institutions.

     Trump in March revealed his intention to force changes at the Smithsonian Institution
     with an executive order that targeted funding for programs that advanced
     “divisive narratives” and “improper ideologies" as he continued a broadside against culture he deems uncomfortably accurate
