Here\u2019s what happened under President Donald Trump\u2019s administration this week that you may have missed.<\/p>\n

Trump flew to Turkey and met with nervous European leaders<\/a> for a meeting of NATO allies, an alliance formed in the wake of World War II to counter Russian aggression.<\/p>\n

It says an attack on one is an attack on all. Yet Trump has toyed with not only breaking from NATO but also seizing Greenland, which could be considered an attack on a NATO ally (since the Arctic island is a semiautonomous Danish territory). He\u2019s also been upset that Europeans didn\u2019t join the fighting against Iran, a war he started alongside Israel without consulting other allies.<\/p>\n

The meetings went better than many allies feared. Trump praised<\/a> those nations who had stepped up their defense spending and appeared to recommit<\/a> to helping Ukraine push back against Russia\u2019s invasion. He seemed touched by NATO leaders\u2019 flattery, by now a common tactic Europeans deploy when dealing with Trump. At the last meeting, the head of NATO compared Trump to a \u201cdaddy.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThey said, \u2018We love, sir, we love you.\u2019 These are grown people saying that. Isn\u2019t that nice?\u201d Trump told reporters this week after meetings. \u201cMaybe, I don\u2019t know, maybe they\u2019re trying to get to me, and in a way, they did, because there was tremendous unity in that room.\u201d<\/p>\n

A defining focus for Trump in his second term has been trying to root out what he says are liberal views in law, education, national parks and museums.<\/p>\n

The Smithsonian museums in Washington, D.C., which are largely federally funded, have been a big target. Shortly after he got in office, Trump signed an executive order demanding that \u201cimproper ideology\u201d be eliminated from the museums. That has resulted in changes big and small: Last year, mentions of Trump were briefly removed<\/a> from an impeachment exhibit before being replaced after an outcry from Democrats. This week, the White House released a report<\/a> accusing the Smithsonian\u2019s National Museum of American History of \u201cextreme political activism.\u201d It accused the museum of not creating exhibits recounting the nation\u2019s 250 years of history, despite a new exhibit designed for just that.<\/p>

Critics say Trump is using patriotism as code to frame the American story as one that won\u2019t offend conservative, White Americans. The Smithsonian\u2019s director defended the museum<\/a> in a note to staff, citing an \u201cuncompromising commitment to tell the fullness of America\u2019s story.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn many ways, the report\u2019s real complaint isn\u2019t necessarily inaccuracy; it\u2019s that the museum isn\u2019t celebratory enough,\u201d Beth English, the executive director of the Organization of American Historians, told my Washington Post colleagues. \u201cAnd that\u2019s a demand for a single version of history, dressed up as a defense of balance.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Trump was out of office, the election-related cases against him fizzled. But he was convicted in New York of falsifying business records, and two separate juries ordered him to pay nearly $90 million to writer E. Jean Carroll, who sued him over her allegation and his response to it.<\/p>\n

Carroll said Trump raped her in a dressing room in the mid-1990s. A jury found him liable for sexual abuse (though the judge said there was little real-world difference<\/a> between sexual abuse and rape) and for defaming her with his denials and attacks. Trump denies knowing her and says the claim is a hoax.<\/p>\n

Carroll framed her wins in court as \u201ca huge defeat for every bully who has tried to keep a woman down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump has since appealed up to the Supreme Court, which declined to take the case. This week, a judge ordered <\/a>the release of the $5 million judgment to Carroll, plus nearly $800,000 in interest, that the first jury awarded her. Trump\u2019s lawyers immediately appealed, yet an appeals court rejected their case in just hours. Trump is expected to ask the Supreme Court to review the second, separate $83 million judgment by the end of the month.<\/p>\n
