Donald Trump Has Taken Over the Kennedy Center


He is now the chairman of the board, even though he’s (probably) never seen a play there.

In a press release issued this afternoon, the Kennedy Center confirmed that its board of directors, which Trump has stacked with loyalists as part of his takeover, voted to appoint the former reality show host as its chairman, effective immediately. “The goal of the Kennedy Center has been to live up to our namesake, serving as a beacon for the world and ensuring our work reflects America,” she said in a statement released separately. “I depart my position proud of all we accomplished to meet that ambition.” The President appointed Richard Grennell, who served as acting director of national intelligence under Trump in 2020, to fill Rutter’s role.
