Donald Trump's self-appointment as chairman of the Kennedy Center reflects his ambition to recreate the cultural prowess seen during JFK's Camelot era. He aspires to mold art and architecture in America to fit his vision, exemplified by calls for beauty in federal structures and a National Garden of American Heroes. However, Trump's approach is more simplistic and ideologically driven compared to JFK’s appreciation for culture as a nuanced societal force. His efforts may face challenges in resonating with the public and culturally influential figures.
Trump's effort to bend American art to his will reveals a desire to mimic JFK's cultural influence, but this task may prove far more complex than anticipated.
The Kennedy Center under Trump's self-appointment aims to reconstruct a romanticized Camelot, but lacks the nuanced understanding JFK held of culture's role in society.
