The impetus seems to be that artists challenged Trumph and laughed at him. This is a revenge move. Let's see what he does with the arts at the Kennedy Center. Probably destroy it like he does everything else. Trump Takes Charge of the Kennedy Center President Donald Trump has been elected as chairman of the board at the Kennedy Center, after replacing board members appointed by former President Joe Biden with his own loyalists. The board members took a vote and named Trump chair in a meeting held Wednesday afternoon. In response, Kennedy Center President Deborah Rutter has announced that she is stepping down from the organization effective immediately. Rutter announced two weeks ago that she would stay in her position until the end of the year, but it seems the recent turmoil at the Washington, D.C. arts organization led to her early departure. Trump has named loyalist Richard Grenell as interim Kennedy Center President. Grenell, currently the special presidential envoy for special missions, does not appear to have any background in the arts or arts administration. The role of president is typically tasked with the institution’s programming choices, while the chair and the board usually acts in an advisory capacity (though that will likely no longer be the case considering Trump’s strong language for what he plans for the organization).
If you've seen this video, it makes perfect sense. They arent doing enough Andrew Lloyd Webber! Get ready for a Phantom revival like its 1988!
Maga rallies, the works of John Phillip Sousa, and things to honor and glorify ( and entertain) the emperor.
This will 100% be the thing Trump is most preoccupied with for the next 4 years, deep down he's a queeny NY musical theater guy with opinions on the editorial direction of Vanity Fair
This article seems to both relevant and prescient. Artistic freedom under threat from authoritarian and illiberal regimes Although the article itself is behind a paywall the title says it all.
The Donald and Melania Center exhibits to include patriots on parade, a celebration of american patriots touring the capital while democracy was at work. god saving our saviour, how forces beyond our comprehension saved our dear leader from a trained cia marksman stand up for justice, the history of how our leader established unified control over the unruly tyranny of democracy and brought christianity back to the land the purge, the expelling of untold numbers of criminal heathens too easy .....
Many people tell us we need more arts. More arts. Great big arts. The best arts. Not like these modern arts. Disaster. Total disaster ok? Let me tell you its bad. Really bad ok? All the people tell me, you should do the arts. It's true....because your arts would be the greatest arts of all time they say. Bigger than Sleepy Joe or Crooked Hillary's arts. Spectacular arts. A lot of folks don't realize that I knew Bill Shakespeare. I did. I knew Bill near the end of his life. Bill was a friend of mine. Bill and I would hang out with Jimmy Stewart back in the day. The arts are really great. Really great.
Donald’s artistic tastes have resulted in gold toilets and stripper wives. I can’t wait to see what he does to the place.
and now the cancellations begin..kennedy center going to go full maga accomplished award winning artists running a world class arts facility being replaced by maralago social club that never met a grift it doesn't like. larry the cable guy incoming Sold-Out Show at Kennedy Center Canceled After Trump 'Infringement' Award-winning actress, writer, director and media mogul Issa Rae is canceling her sold-out appearance at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts over President Donald Trump's "infringement" on the institution's values. Rae, who is widely known for the critically acclaimed HBO series Insecure and her role in the blockbuster Barbie, announced Thursday that she was pulling out of her sold-out show in Washington because of what she believed to be "an infringement on the values of an institution that has faithfully celebrated artists of all backgrounds through all mediums." .......................................... Trump's takeover of the Kennedy Center has sent ripples through the arts community. At least three leaders have resigned in the wake of Trump's chairmanship. Showrunner Shonda Rhimes, who was appointed to the board by President Barack Obama, resigned from her treasurer position Wednesday. Soprano Renée Fleming and songwriter Ben Folds also announced they were leaving their posts as artistic adviser at large and artistic adviser, respectively, of the National Symphony Orchestra, which is overseen by the Kennedy Center.
So maga rallies at the Kennedy Center. Perfect. Think of the ratings. Maybe they can invite the guy with the horned hat from j 6 as a guest of honor.
I can also see him calling out a j 6'er or several at the state of the union in march. Thunderous applause from some of the same scumbags who were running for their lives that day.
i don't think the middle really thought he would go this far off the rails. they refused to recognize that there were adults putting guardrails around him last time instead of sycophants willing to test the courts to the max with a plan to hit the ground running while he blabbered inthe foreground. jsut sign where you're told and we'll let you talk again and buy some more mem coin
Love it, looks like another great move by Trump. It's pretty obvious, if you libbies on TH think Trump is making a bad move, then he's definitely going in the right direction
