Trump Takeover of the Kennedy Center

President Donald Trump's announced plan to seize control of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Trump intends to fire board members, including David Rubenstein, and install himself as chairman. His stated rationale involves aligning the Center with his vision of a "Golden Age in Arts and Culture," specifically criticizing past programming, such as drag shows. The Kennedy Center's administration has responded by stating that they received no prior notification and emphasizing their historically bipartisan approach. The situation has sparked significant controversy and raises questions about presidential authority and the politicization of American arts.
