President Donald Trump says he's firing members of the board of trustees for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and naming himself chairman.
he doesn’t give one shit about the kennedy center. he’s the first and only president/first lady to completely avoid its kennedy center honors and gala… for four straight years (all of episode 1).
he only sees a grift in there somewhere… or some fake award or other bullshit.
or maybe he doesn’t like the “a spectrum of many skills within the performing arts”, which is represented by… yup, you guessed it. a rainbow of colors including exterior lighting.
Maybe he just dislikes the name, Kennedy, being a part of a toponym there in DC. Kennedy family was\is very influential and the assasination of JFK is one of the most known historical events about the US, and RFK still rolls on it. He probably wants that for himself, and to control what as the wiki-page implies is an american culture. Or maybe he is taking it to mess with RFK in some way? I don’t know.

or maybe it’s the non-white artists-in-residence.
or maybe it’s the ‘festivals’ that feature and celebrate art and culture from around the world.
or maybe it’s just him. fucking asswipe.

I think he’s just trying to dictate arts and culture now.
