Trump Reshapes Kennedy Center Leadership and Programming

President Trump, now chair of the Kennedy Center, attends board meeting following sweeping leadership changes and programming overhaul.

President Donald Trump dissolved the Kennedy Center's board of directors in February, appointing himself as chairman and installing political allies to key leadership roles.
Trump replaced the former president of the Kennedy Center with Richard Grenell, a staunch ally, as interim executive director, citing the need to 'straighten out' the institution.
The president has pledged to influence the center's programming, vowing to eliminate drag shows and content he deems 'anti-American propaganda.'
Several artists, including the team behind the Broadway hit 'Hamilton,' have canceled performances at the Kennedy Center in protest of Trump's changes.
The Kennedy Center, which relies on a mix of congressional funding and private revenue, is facing financial difficulties, with reports of 'zero cash on hand' as of February.
