Donald Trump Says He'll Name Himself Chairman Of Kennedy Center And Oust Board Members
Source: Deadline
Donald Trump said that he will oust board members of the Kennedy Center, while naming himself as its new chairman.
David Rubenstein is the current chairman of the center and agreed to stay in that role through 2026.
Trump wrote on Truth Social, At my direction, we are going to make the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., GREAT AGAIN. I have decided to immediately terminate multiple individuals from the Board of Trustees, including the Chairman, who do not share our Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture. We will soon announce a new Board, with an amazing Chairman, DONALD J. TRUMP! Just last year, the Kennedy Center featured Drag Shows specifically targeting our youth THIS WILL STOP. The Kennedy Center is an American Jewel, and must reflect the brightest STARS on its stage from all across our Nation. For the Kennedy Center, THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

It is unclear whether Trump can make himself chairman, or even oust members of the 36-member board. The bylaws of the Kennedy Center spell out that the president appoints trustees, who serve six-year terms.

1. Was there a Drag Show at the KC?

I am really sick of this kind of wishy washy alleged "reporting." Oh, it's unclear? Maybe imagine what would be reported if a Democratic president made such an insane ignorant comment.
A stupid fake tweet on his plagiarized twitter!
Jeez, what an asshole.
