President Trump is set to attend a performance of Les Misérables at the Kennedy Center, accompanied by a private fundraiser. This marks his first attendance at the venue during his presidency, following a controversial first term during which he faced artistic opposition. Upon returning to office, Trump reshuffled the Kennedy Center's board, replacing it with his supporters and aiming to raise $100,000 from each board member for the center's revitalization. The administration emphasizes Trump's commitment to American arts and culture as part of this initiative.
Trump plans to attend a showing of the musical at the Kennedy Center next month and host a private fundraising reception beforehand, marking the first performance he will attend at the center as president.
In his first term, Trump rejected Washington, D.C.'s most celebrated cultural institution, after artists protested his administration and threatened to boycott Kennedy Center-related events at the White House.
Now Trump, a prolific political fundraiser, is raising money for the center, which, like much of the rest of the city's institutions, he hopes to remake in his image.
President Trump cares deeply about American arts and culture, which is why he is revitalizing historic institutions like the Kennedy Center to their former greatness.
