Can any Trump voters chime in? Not MAGA, but regular folks who voted for him because they didn't like Harris or high costs? I can't believe anyone would think this is something to waste time on when prices are going up.

I do question whether, legally, it’s proper for POTUS to sit on a federal board. Doesn’t sound right, but I don’t know the governing authority of the KenCen. Maybe there’ll be yet another lawsuit challenging his attempts to consolidate power.

He is like Mao and that fat guy in North Korea. Can't bear not be the chairman of everything.

He probably wants to turn it into Trump Casino on the Potomac

That tracks. It IS valuable waterfront property and you know how he hates to let such an opportunity get away.

The President of the Kennedy Center makes $1 million year. It's a grift.

Repurposed as a Trump Casino?

The KC has done such a wonderful job of reaching out to — and appealing to people with a wide variety of offerings. I truly treasure the Millenium Stage programs. I hope they continue. This is a cultural institution that took a long time to build — that can’t easily be rebuilt.

I know that they have an ongoing program involving Renee Fleming and Francis Collins (NIH) on aspects of music and the mind. I wonder if that will continue.

Pushing certain art is part of pushing an agenda. Trump has a very conservative, traditional vision, so that will be what he pushes. A lot of people think the recent country music push kind of went with the Trump win.

No, not really.
