Donald Trump will visit him to the Kennedy Center today since he toppled the leadership and made sure that he will be the head of the Capital Arts Foundation.
While the center was suffering from the abolition of the main performances by artists who protested the Trump acquisition, the correspondent president told “we have to correct it. It is not a good situation. Like everything else in this country.”
The New York Times reported that Trump will address the meeting of the Kennedy Center's Board of Directors this afternoon, as a proposal that would give the president more control over who is honored every year as part of Kennedy Center honors. The main decision – Trump – will be given the authority to choose who will be part of a consulting committee to honor.
During his first term, Trump exceeded Kennedy Center honors A ceremony, a tradition of its beginning in 1978. Trump released the announcement after the announcement of the 2017 honored list. One of them, Norman Leer, said that while he was attending, he would exceed a pre -sugar reception in the White House in protest against the proposed discounts of the president in art financing. Other honorees follow their pledges to boycott the event.
CBS has an agreement to broadcast the ceremony until 2025, but it is not clear what will happen after this point.
The network broadcasts medals from its inception, usually the ceremony is broadcast throughout Christmas.
A spokesman for the Kennedy Center immediately did not respond to a request for comment.
The honorees were chosen through a petition from the Board of Trustees, the technical community and the general public. The Consultative Committee for honor – which was chaired by David Pont and included a mixture of former beneficiaries and other artists – recommends the recipients of each party, then confirmed by the Executive Committee of the Council.
When Trump took office, the Board of Directors was almost divided between the appointed Trump from his first term and Joe Biden's choices during his term. But Trump overthrew the appointment of Biden, and instead he installed loyalists and his supporters, including his chief of staff, Suzy Wales, and Fox News Laura Inganham.
In 2024 included Francis Ford Coppola, The Grful Dead, Bonnie Raitt, Arturo Sandoval and The Apollo Theatre.
Trump criticized the Kennedy center in general for “wake up”, and attacked the appearance of the drawing performance in the programming collection. But even before Tram control, the highest programs at Kennedy Center included the appearance of barely controversial offers, including Riverdance and Music.
Trump's acquisition led to the abolition of some artists, including the producers behind the word HamiltonWhich was to operate next year. Last week, Vice President JD Vance was beaten when he entered for the performance of national symphony orchestra, a reflection of the main public of the center: the strongholds of democracy in the capital, Maryland and Virginia, including many government workers who were struck by the extensive discounts of the Trump administration on the federal operator.
It is not clear that Trump would like to see honor at the Kennedy Center. But he appointed Mail Gibson, Silcester Stallone and John Voette, “His ambassadors in Hollywood.” During his first term, he presented the national medal of the arts – an honor that was eventually chosen by the president since he started in 1984 – to Toby Keith, Riki Skags, Mary Costa, Alison Cross and Voet.
