Trump to become chair of Kennedy Center

[Anonymous]

There goes the national performing arts neighborhood. Will DT ban the national symphony orchestra and ballet to make way for MAGA rallies? Will the Millennial Stage become the MAGA Stage where only washed up Trump fanboys such as Kanye West, Kid Rock and Billy Ray Cyrus can do shows?

Trump Says He Will Dismiss Kennedy Center Board Members and Install Himself as Chair

The move by the president, whose authority to make the changes was not clear, is the latest attempt to bring a Washington institution under his control.

OP - Not Jeff

But OMG you’re right - he’s going to change the name to his own even though he did not attend ANY events there during his first term.

This is a distraction from the more terrible things going on. They just want a firehose of news so that no one stops them.

Yes that is true - and the mass deportations, and exploitation of racism, religion and nationalism are also distractions from the unconstitutional hijacking of US federal government.

The trouble is the MAGA cult are blurring boundaries between politics, religion and now entertainment …

Especially since he never attended any shows there during Trump #1.

He may clear the KC souvenir shop to sell Trump.com merch.

Control the news, control social media, control what art gets made...

It just feels like a firehose of shit. I can't even have musicals to make me feel better. Just destroy everything.

Yes, exactly. All of what you see, hear, and experience will now be designed to uplift and uphold the regime. Thanks, MAGA.
