The changes are many and they're ongoing. Let's start with something President Trump said this week at a Women's History Month event at the White House. It has to do with the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum, which doesn't yet have a physical building. New York Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis recently introduced legislation to locate the museum on the National Mall.

Here's President Trump.

And Trump signed an executive order this week that said in part that the Women's History Museum will, quote, not recognize men as women in any respect.

The order says a lot. Are you ready? It says that the Smithsonian has, quote, come under the influence of a divisive race-centered ideology and that it promoted narratives that portray American and Western values and as inherently harmful and oppressive. It also says that no future federal dollars can be spent on anything that degrades shared American values.

It goes on to say that the Department of the Interior should take a look at federal monuments to make sure they don't, quote, perpetuate a false reconstruction of American history or include any other improper partisan ideology. And it calls for reinstating monuments.

We don't know exactly what that means, but we presume he's talking about monuments that were torn down because some people found them offensive. After the murder of George Floyd, more than 150 Confederate symbols were removed across the United States. And neither the Smithsonian nor the Department of the Interior have responded to a request for comment.

The Kennedy Center, as you know, has multiple theaters and puts on thousands of performances and events a year. Trump has said the building needs a lot of work, but that it has tremendous potential. He has hinted at a few things he'd like to see there, a production of Cats, for example. He also suggested Elvis Presley should receive a posthumous Kennedy Center honors.
