WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump on Feb. 7 said he will fire the chairman and multiple trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., and name himself as the board’s new chairman.
The Kennedy Center, opened in 1971, is the principal venue for performing arts in Washington. Every year, it hosts the Kennedy Center Honors, which recognize lifetime contributions to American culture and are among the most prestigious performing arts awards in the United States. The center is governed by a Board of Trustees, which comprises both appointees of the President of the United States and several ex-officio members designed by Act of Congress, such as Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), and Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser, among others.
“At my direction, we are going to make the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., GREAT AGAIN. I have decided to immediately terminate multiple individuals from the Board of Trustees, including the Chairman, who do not share our Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture,” wrote Trump. “We will soon announce a new Board, with an amazing Chairman, DONALD J. TRUMP!”
Trump accused the board of reproachable conduct by allegedly permitting lurid performances at the Kennedy Center. “Just last year, the Kennedy Center featured Drag Shows specifically targeting our youth — THIS WILL STOP,” he wrote. “The Kennedy Center is an American Jewel and must reflect the brightest STARS on its stage from all across our Nation. For the Kennedy Center, THE BEST IS YET TO COME!”
