President Trump has taken control of the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees, appointing Ric Grenell as interim president. This comes after a push to remove prior board members and focus on more traditional programming. Trump has been vocal about banning performances he sees as "anti-American," indicating a move away from events such as drag shows. Grenell, a longtime Trump ally, is expected to influence the cultural offerings at the center, marking a potential shift in the arts landscape.
"NO MORE DRAG SHOWS, OR OTHER ANTI-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA," Trump said in a Truth Social post Monday, emphasizing a shift in the programming focus at the Center.
Grenell's role at the Kennedy Center could allow him major influence over artistic programming, potentially reshaping the cultural landscape according to Trump's vision of 'American' values.
