and gone with another process which is just letting Donald Trump decide because today you had a reporter asking him how involved he was in selecting the honores and he answered I would say I was about uh 98% involved no they all went through me I turned down plenty they were too woke I turned I had a couple of wokesters and that after each said at a Kennedy center board meeting back in March we’ll go slightly more conservative if you don’t mind with some of the people in the past I mean these are radical left lunatics that have been chosen I didn’t like it I couldn’t watch it and the host was always terrible and Trump notably did not attend the honors during his first term. In fact, he was the only president in the center’s 45-year existence not to go. And that because in 2017, Norman Leer skipped the ceremony that takes place at the White House to protest Trump. Now, this way you have Trump making sure that the event goes his way with Trump back in February firing Biden’s trustees and replacing them with his own, appointing a new director and making himself chairman. And then all of that bring us to yesterday where he posted on Truth Social that he would reveal great nominees with a Trump Kennedy Center whoops, I mean Kennedy Center awards. And while that may sound like a joke, it it also isn’t, right? Because last month, a Republican led House Appropriations Committee actually voted to approve an amendment that calls to rename the Kennedy Center Opera House after Melania Trump. Within the next day, Representative Bob and introducing a bill to rename the entire art center the Donald J. Trump Center for Performing Arts.
