Donald Trump has declared that he intends to take over the leadership of The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington. D.C. Trump announced his plans in a Friday evening Truth Social post: “At my direction, we are going to make the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., GREAT AGAIN,” he wrote on his Truth Social platform today. “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.” Trump added he plans to install himself as chairman of the board: “We will soon announce a new Board, with an amazing Chairman, DONALD J. TRUMP!” 
The post also attacked drag performances at the performing arts center: “Just last year, the Kennedy Center featured Drag Shows specifically targeting our youth — THIS WILL STOP. 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!” According to Variety, drag shows put on at the Kennedy Center in 2024 included: • “Broadway Drag Brunch” and “Dancing Queens Drag Brunch” at the venue’s Roof Terrace Restaurant • “A Drag Salute to Divas” on the South Millennium Stage • “Bertha: Grateful Drag” in the Terrace Theater and “Dixie’s Tupperware Party” in the Family Theater Trust me – none of that would be overly racy content. It’s not clear if Trump actually has the authority to fire the Board. You may recall that Trump broke with tradition during his first term in office by refusing to attend the Kennedy Center Honors, the organization’s hallmark program, after some honorees criticized him.
