Trump Announces He’s Been ‘Unanimously’ Elected Kennedy Center Chairman; Shonda Rhimes Steps Down as Treasurer


President Trump completed his takeover of the Kennedy Center, announcing he's been "unanimously" elected chairman of the board.

“It is a Great Honor to be Chairman of The Kennedy Center, especially with this amazing Board of Trustees,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. On Monday, Trump announced that Richard Grenell, who serves as his envoy for special missions, would be the interim executive director of the Kennedy Center. The Kennedy Center’s upcoming season includes revivals of popular musicals such as “Les Misérables,” “Legally Blonde,” and “The Sound of Music,” as well as a show celebrating the 50th anniversary of “Dungeons & Dragons” and a production of “Parade,” which depicts the trial and lynching of Jewish American Leo Frank in Georgia in 1915.
