After the Trump-appointed board voted to add President Donald Trump's name to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, cancellations followed quickly. A veteran jazz ensemble walked away from New Year's Eve shows. A Christmas Eve jazz concert that had run for nearly two decades was called off. A New York dance company withdrew anniversary performances at a cost of $40,000. These were not symbolic gestures. They involved real money, professional risk, and decisions artists did not make lightly.

There's never been anything like these ships, the president said of the new Trump Class ships. These have been under design consideration for a long time. And it started with me and my first term. Cause I said, why aren't we doing battleships like we use to? Trump added, These are the best in the world. They'll be the fastest, the biggest, and by far, 100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built.
