President Donald J. Trump has officially been elected as Chair of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, a role he claims is a great honor. Following the board's vote, Trump has swiftly restructured the board to comprise his appointees, including appointing Ric Grenell as interim executive director. This follows Trump's criticism of the Center's past programming, which he described as 'woke,' vowing to eliminate such content. Several notable figures from the arts community have resigned in protest, sparking concerns about potential censorship and the politicization of the arts under Trump's leadership.
