Why did Trump have himself put in charge of the Kennedy Center? Because he knows that the educated and cultured people who patronize it despise him. So he seeks revenge. And he knows that his being in charge of the center will destroy it.

He has to be the most despicable person alive.
The elite get targeted first in an ugly revolution.
At least Kid Rock will now get to "headline" at a venue not associated with $2 draft beers and all-you-can-eat wings.
It’s also a move a dictator would do. And he’s trying so hard to be one. I think he feels like if he simply assumed the position, we will just go along with it over time. It’s like he assumed the position of a very successful and wealthy businessman on his reality show, and most people bought it.
Trump is frickin insane - we now live in the United States of Weirdness…
He surely will destroy it.
It will be seen as "The winter of our discontent caused by being taken over by an artless vindictive fool who made Ben Fold's Five leave" In the end it's going o be fodder for relatively funny depictions in film and TV. Nothing ends up getting destroyed in the end, my bet.
Another repeat of history. We know where this is going.
Because he wants to change the name!!
He’ll make sure they only produce entertainment which won’t challenge the sensibilities of straight white evangelicals.
That is exactly right. 💯
Catering by McDonald’s
I for one, am confident that Stormy Daniels will go down well at the Kennedy Center. In fact, I believe that ‘Stormy Daniels Goes Down at the Kennedy Center’ is a working title.
At least until he meets his maker
He is the most vindictive person I’ve ever seen. Petty, little man.
Petty and pathetic.
Watch for those people to move towards a new venue and rebrand it with the monies donated going into that new adventure. They will not stay and listen to him.
The Obama Center.
The Josephine Baker Performing Arts Center
I like this idea 💡 too!
I like this idea 💡!
Kennedy Obama Biden Center. Checkmate.
I had this same thought! Creative intellectuals will find creative intellectual ways....
He hates them because he was never able to be accepted by them.
an infant is bullying back. everything is infantile impulse.
He promised he was going to be the retribution. He forgot to mention the part where it’s against all his imagined slights. 🤷🏼♂️
Everything tRump touches dies
Trump compained only days ago that it was illegal to have a second job if you were a Federal Employee. Trump is a Federal employee. So why he is he taking a second job outside of the presidency? bsky.app/profile/atru...
The DMV will walk away.
The Maryland lyric opera performs at strathmore Baltimore Symphony performs at Strathmore and at Weinberg in Frederick So now I’ll attend performances there than at the Kennedy center
Exactly
Lee Greenwood, Kid Rock, Scott Baio, James Woods, Lara Trump - next year's Kennedy Center honorees.
Don't forget Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, Vince Vaughn, Peter Billingsley, Jeff Ross, Sylvester Stallone, Wayne Gretzky, Caitlyn Jenner, Dr.Phil, Mel Gibson, John Schneider, Lil John, Kelsey Grammer, Zachary Levi and the Billionaire Bros!🤮
He wants to inspect the dressing rooms.
So it takes a 4 year hiatus. Everything he touches does, but I feel like the Kennedy Center will survive even Felon47.
The talking plastic heads on Faux News announced that he was "elected" to the board.
😢
He won’t though. He will be defeated and culture and arts will be restored. You cannot destroy the arts try as you must.
So true. If all goes to shit, as it seems to be doing, I like thinking about the day decades in the future when a museum will do the equivalent of the Degenerate art exhibit , which was, not ironically an exhibit in 2016. www.neuegalerie.org/exhibitions/...
This is true.
The man ain't got no culture. Maybe he thinks this will get him closer to some real talent besides Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan.
BECAUSE TRUMP IS NOT PRESIDENT AND WILL NOT HAVE A LOT TO DO.
And his chance for revenge against Caroline Kennedy regarding her statement about RFK, Jr.
I'm sure she's crushed.🙄🙄
Nah, he doesn’t have any loyalty to his sycophants he secretly despises. RFK, Jr. is just another tool he doesn’t GAF about.
His drumbeat is constant: to promote division between our fellow citizens. Who benefits from this???
He does. And the anti-democratic thugs who are rooting for our demise.
Maybe he thinks it’s a good way to promote pro-Trump propaganda. Get ready for Kash Patel’s full musical production starring himself beheading Trump critics. 😣
Would you expect anything else from someone so crass & uncouth.
Also, they made fun of him a number of years ago, kind of like a roast, and he sat there and fumed. His petty ass grudges know no time limits
He will turn it into a giant maga gift shop. Golden diapers, jd jizz in a cup, AI images of Trump. No reason to go there anymore and it will be flocked with people who can’t afford eggs but will buy whatever stupid crap rump puts out. Grifters goin grift!
Tacky shit like him!
Wonder if the Kennedy family will continue to allow father's, grandfather's, uncle's name on it?
I think we can expect him to DJ at the Kennedy Center. www.axios.com/2024/04/04/d...
He’s really a horrible person. There’s a long history of evil evidence proving it. It’s that simple. There are awful humans and he’s one of them.
We can fully expect trump to honor the likes of Kid Rock, Scott Baio, James Rivers, Roseann Barr, Tucker Carlson, Bill O’Reilly and Jeanine Pirro.
A bunch of losers!
NO! The patrons, artists & supporters of this Fine National Cultural Center MUST. KEEP TRUMP OUT!
Might as well change the name to Pussy Grabber's R'Us now.
It was too "woke".....drag shows making kids drag queens. It's so bad!!!
he hates our culture
Can Caroline Kennedy have the Kennedy name removed?
Trump will rename it. No way he’s putting himself at the head of it and not changing the name.
Also I was thinking - more spite - thumbing his nose at a more popular president.
It should be dead to all of us until he is. He can’t drape himself in cultural trappings if they turn to ash the minute he touches them.
He wants points off ticket sales
I’m sure he’s going to put on finger puppet shows and sharpie drawing ✍️ classes. His cognitive abilities on show
Not that he had good brain power before, but using sharpies all day has to kill more brain cells, if there are any left
It’s the REVENGE tour! He will go after everyone! When your mentor was Roy Cohen! He learned his lessons well!
He has the same contempt for educated liberal circles that his followers have
He’s also desperate to be respected in that world and he knows he never will be so he’s forcing himself on it.
Leslie— Copying this!
Bingo! 🎯🎯🎯
Donald Trump forcing himself on someone? Say it ain’t so.
Yes, shocking I know
Exactly no social graces. A buffoon
Does this mean the only operas will be Wagner? (Hitlers favorite)
Everything Trump touches dies—R. Wilson (2018)
I believe that’s his point, to kill the Kennedy Legacy
At the very least to tarnish it
This is exactly what I said. He wants so desperately to be accepted by cultured society, and they have always turned their backs on him because they know what he is. He thinks he can muscle his way in but they will still shun him. Worst Disney villain, ever.
I see gold toilets in the Kennedy Center’s near future.
Well here’s something people can do if they don’t like the fascism refusefascism.org/2025/02/08/m...
He’s also bitter that NYC social elite never accepted him.
My guess is that he wants to rename it “The Trump Center.” As if. 🙄
#ETTD #TrumpCurse
Welcome to Mississippi, 1961.
He will never be allowed to join their club. Can’t buy class
No you cannot. Oh he has tried just look at all his classy wives, and that thing he calls a daughter wife.
Yes, his true retribution dreams (our nightmares) are coming into clear focus. What does he despise? Embarrassment, looking weak, little children? Epitome of the Oval yesterday. Mental notes.
Can the Kennedys have their name removed? I know I would.
It’s the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. It’s literally a memorial to Pres Kennedy, in the same was the Lincoln Memorial is to Pres Lincoln. But give Kennedy’s promotion of American art & culture, the idea was to create a living, vibrant memorial rather than a static one in stone.
It is petty retribution for Caroline Kennedy speaking out
Oh boy! This years line up. Lee Greenwood, The Village People, and Kid Rock! 🙄
It is such a magnificent arts center…I will miss going there…
*Shit
It will be interesting what kind of shot entertainment he will approve
trump is on a revenge tour. Republicans can’t muster the courage to stop it, so they have capitulated to this. If you are a Republican voter, you have also capitulated to the fall of the United States.
This is the mentality of a rapist. Destroy, defile, smash, force yourself on, force your way in, no one can tell you no.
Perfectly written.
Which is completely supported by the entire Republican party. Women in this country are in deep trouble.
Stock up, arm up, make a few plans
100%!!!!!!
Women must stand up. All Americans must stand up. Power is given freely to dictators thru complacency and failure to take any action. Keep calling your congressmen. Download the app- 5 calls which makes it super easy and gives You a several scripts you can use. Do an economic blackout on Feb28-
Seems many women decided they wanted the trouble.
Next level pettiness
Yeah I think this is particularly fun for him. More acceptible to him than rubbing feces on the walls, but same idea.
There are lots of other venues.
Read about the Seven Mountain mandate - it includes the Arts
Those 🤬 weirdos. I am so sick of this shit!
Read from Meidas email- Jon Batiste, who performed the National Anthem at the Super Bowl, was just fired from Kennedy Center Board by trump.
t(R)ump knows he is a political, social, legal, and economic black hole. Even the light of Hope cannot escape his grasp. He is aware that anything approaching the t(R)ump orbit dies. His motives are simplistic; "get close to or inside whatever it is I wish to kill and let Nature take its course."
He is the antichrist
Nah. That’s Elon. Trump is just the stooge.
bernies bigots are the stooges, and trumps got their transcripts right here
Vengeance is his strongest impulse and it gives him immense pleasure. You could say, he gets off on it.
I’m getting a strong sense that the more he kills things, the more things he wants to kill. Agreed he gets off on all the misery he creates. Destroying treasured institutions gives him a thrill.
Yep...that's just how demented he is.
And this is just a beginning of his term
He wants to rebrand it!
Everything he touches. He will try to change its name to Trump Center eventually.
🤮
Next up -- the Smithsonian, Library of Congress and National Gallery. Say goodbye to the Museums of African American History and the American Indian.
National Archive
He’s already fired the chief of the National Archives
Ty I remember now it's hard to keep up.
Then he’ll kill DC tourism and a lot of local businesses.
Ummm He’s killing US tourism.
Already killing tourism, Canadians for sure. Maybe Russian tourists will still go?
He'd like nothing better than to hurt DC. Bunch of Democratic voters.
He's already trying to ban Native Americans from voting.
And he won't understand why the don't charge an entry fee.
This hurts my heart
True
It's a building, in the end. That's why we build them... to leave to our legacy. What we do inside them may make history, however. He just wants to make history, now. Stamp his imprimatur on "America". I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.
Good location and, with more gold leaf, monumental enough to be a family mausoleum for his preserved body to go on display like Lenin, Mao, Ho and the Kims. School field trips will involve shuffling past his corpse before going to a performance of animatronic Village People and Kid Rock.
I can't unsee that
Yep, that part.
Waiting for the large gold TRUMP Center letters go up.
*to* go up
Yep
bsky.app/profile/narc...
The bigger question is why is the Kennedy Center Board appeasing him?
He fired the Board.
Truly pathetic.
I think Orban told him how to take control of culture and he also attended the Super Bowl. He’s trying to push white Christian nationalism in all areas of society. Hence Gulf of America… if you don’t obey you’re gone. Orwellian behavior=totalitarianism.
It's the same tactic as the Entartete Kunst policies of the Nazis, and the destruction of the Buddhas of Bamiyan by the Taliban. Psychopathic tyrants destroy cultural artifacts and symbols in order to control freedom of expression, and to attack the "soul" of the people.
I predict the Kennedy Center will soon close it's doors for the foreseeable future.
Trump’s presidency is ruled by his spite.
I figured it was something like that. It’s the same reason he wants to take over Canada: because Justin Trudeau was caught on camera laughing at him during his first term.
And Melanie was caught gazing lustfully at Trudeau in another photograph. For some reason, she was attracted to a rapey-guy who is not 200 pounds overweight and doesn't shit his pants in public. Hence tariffs on Canada.
Maybe we should deny him a invitation to a 'Jump Off A Cliff Party' and let nature take it's course.
Can't wait to see the great performances from legends like Lee Greenwood, Kid Rock, The Village People, Billy Ray Cyrus 😂
Don’t forget the Nuge
The Kid Rock residency will be lit.
Along with the poetic readings from Melania, while pole dancing..
It's MUCH deeper than that. It's about destroying the cultural symbols of the country. Institutions like the Smithsonian family of museums are next. It's also about owning and dismantling the Kennedy family legacy. All of this serves Putin's interests as much as it feeds his narcissistic supply.
He's a toddler
Caroline Kennedy should start arts programs to honor her father in Boston at Symphony Hall to undercut what trump is doing at Kennedy Center
Tell her that.
I would tell Caroline if I had a way to reach her; maybe she is already thinking of it
I found her foundation, and there's a tab to send her a message. Just Google her. I tried to share it, but it's probably in my home page thread.
A truly pathetic man.
So, I guess he’s a sick fuck. Explains it.
Elon’s kid has more emotional maturity than this simpleton
So comforting that the country is being run by a 5 yr old who holds grudges. 🤬
We are headed towards "entarte Musik".
But, of course, it’s not about retribution. His success is his retribution, right?
bsky.app/profile/cweb...
T is a psychopath! Please learn to differentiate it from a malignant narcissistic sociopath. PSYCHOPATH is a completely more dangerous and conscious lacking in any humanity.
I've been educating on his narcissistic psychopathy for nearly 10 years.
Great. Always willing to learn. Look at the Markin scale for psychopathology and T scores high. Thank you for responding, please share information you have gleaned.
What part of RETRIBUTION do so many of you not understand? The Orange Sphincter said he was going to bring it in 2025 quite a few times during the campaign. Of course, 4-syllable words are not a large part of his vocabulary, so he still probably doesn't know what the word means.
Who cares about the Kennedy Center in the scheme of things, especially now, except: it's yet another example of Trump defiling something he coveted in the very act of seizing it. A central theme in MAGA, and why winning only makes them more miserable.
This explains it. He is going to honor Jason Aldean, isn’t he?
And they will still won’t come. He’ll continue to be hated by anyone with half a brain and a soul.
I can’t wait to see who the honorees are going to be!
Pol Pot, Stalin, Lester Maddox, Hitler, all will be on the newly named Trump Center for the Arts wall of fame. Fat Bastard is currently modeling for the statue of 47.
So, it'll be Kid Rock every week from now on, right?
With Ted Nugent and Lara Trump opening. 🎶 😱
😂😂😂😂
He’s correct on both counts!
Exactly
Yep, petty and vicious. The Kennedy Center will die, just like our democracy.
I'm looking forward to the monster truck rallies and Jeff Foxworthy shows.
Monday Night Rehabilitation.
Making people hate him more than they already do seems like a stupid choice. Every person in this country owns a gun. It's just a matter of time before he is eliminated. 🤷♀️
Can’t wait to hear next season’s lineup. I hear Kid Rock, Ted Nugent and Lee Greenwood might be available.
Well, let's see, if the majority of anyone in the Arts does not appear there as a performer, I guess it will just become another casino.
Where he can launder all the money they’re stealing from us.
I half jokingly said, “ I bet Musk and his minions have a garage band.”
Absolutely it is another revenge tour.
The Trump Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Who Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too
Lol basically
George W. Bush — 'Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?'
I soooo appreciate that!
It feels like MAGA is taking crazy pills youtu.be/fRL80YB0x3s?...
He put The couch”s wife on it also because McMoron falls asleep 💤
I think it's also a money laundering scheme. Corporations will be hit up to fund its "politically correct" programming, and the contributions will be skimmed.
Exactly
It’s always a grift as well. Grifting Grifters Gotta Grift.
How long before trump appoints RFK Jr ?
Exactly. It’s a palace he’s not welcome. A place where he cannot comprehend the art and where those in attendance look down at him. Everything he does is personal. A toddler with hurt feelings destroying every sand castle on the beach.
Exactly. They snubbed him so he HAS to make them pay by taking over the club house, so to speak. It's exactly why he loathes NY so much. He had money, but there are MANY circles that it doesn't matter. It's almost like he and the tech pros are "new money" and he has a vendetta against "old money".
He has stolen the ball, and now is grabbing his ball and taking it home. Nobody can have fun unless baby is having fun. So sad that institution is now guaranteed to be an embarrassing failure.
Can’t let that happen - could attend and give appropriate reviews …
Nothing acceptable will be showcased What artist will play there?
It’s also gonna be a money laundering operation. Wanna get a favor from the president? Buy these tickets!
I am becoming less and less certain that he hasn't decided to take revenge on the entire country for electing Biden last time.
I shouted this from the rooftops. I told people this very thing. He said in a speech that we needed "spanking." He wants revenge for us handing him his ass in 2020.
suno.com/song/19ef1d8...
Yes, also revenge on the Kennedy family for RFK Jr., because they dared to tell US the truth about him.
It's not like it's the only place for culture. I guess I don't know enough to understand how he can do two jobs at once.... You know, while holding office
Aw, c’mon George. You don’t think the D.C. cognoscenti will turn out for a University of Alabama Marching Band concert of Sousa marches? Their “Stars and Stripes Forever” finale is worth the price of the ticket right there!
Those educated and cultured should produce their own in conjunction w the Kennedy family (less of course killer Jr.) And give their own awards. Nothing stopping them.
I thought that he would give it to Melania.
Maybe he has always secretly wanted to sing the lead in Pagliacci
Those of us who have interacted with Trump and his companies before, know he’s a petty (censored)
He probably will demand that the name be changed to Trump Center.
He wants to control the culture. Putin is doing similar things. www.thetimes.com/world/europe...
Everything he touches is destroyed, including our country.
it was a cruymmy nazi country anyway
John Fetterman should consider joining Principal Ballerina Trump's 'corp de ballet' instead of remaining a senator.
I hate him! I hate him so much I can’t find words ugly enough to describe!
Yup. I screamed and jumped for joy when I saw him get shot on stage. Then I cried when I realized he wasn't finished off.
I have unnatural thoughts!
He’s wanted to be accepted into NY society for decades. They’ve always shunned him and his obnoxious gold toilet life style. Now he thinks they’ll have to accept him. Personally I hope they all cancel their season tickets and find another venue for their art and entertainment enjoyment.
You're correct.As a NYer, I watched him try to be part of the social elites here. Pathetic.
I agree 100%. His wounded 14 year old self wants to a guaranteed invitation to the dance. He literally turns everything good into slip.
SLOP not slip!
i'd just go with Shit
This.
This. Even Blaine and Robert stayed far away from him.
Yes. He is such a narcissist. But, in reality everything he touched dies.
Yes, he needs to be shut out because before you know it he will change the name to the Trump Center
The Kennedy Center's in DC, not NY.
Yeah but it’s the same people.
Not that I care about NY high society, bunch of rich snobs, but they were right on Trump. He’s trash.
“spoiling” can be a big part of narcissistic rage and revenge
Nazi entertainment. Hitler did it too.
Ms. Rutter was very good at her job and held similar positions around the country.
And I thought he wanted to put on a program of pure Wagner.
On top of all his serious pathologies, at bottom (so to speak) he is a whiny, spoiled brat.
democrats have really acted like spoiled whiny brats since bill clinton left office.But they turned mean and nasty about it in 2016.
Destruction is his special skill. Think about it, has he ever left anything better than he found it? I can’t think of one damned thing!
They voted for him. So it is written, so it shall be. At least for the next four years.
Why are people really giving credence to a Treasonous Traitor ConvictedFelon45 Insurrectionist45 who is actually Constitutionally Disqualified under the US Constitution14thSec.3 Therefore ILLEGITIMATE45 If enough of us really believe in our US Constitution,WE Will Act Accordingly! I Will Not Comply
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Trying to find the woke drag shows on their schedule…
🤬
Nailed it. . . just need to migrate to a new home that is impervious to his influence.
Someone gave him this idea. . he didn't think of this himself.
He hasn’t thought of many of his EOs himself, except for banning paper straws. I think he (incorrectly) regurgitates whatever the last person tells him.
I just want to know where all the bravery I've heard so much about went. I've never seen so many people bend over for tyranny and looting... just spit right in their grandparents' faces...
Is he going to name RFKjr to the President position
Such a small man.
So, it is a given he gets the first honour. Ooooh I hate him so much.
Yep 👍🏼
Kid Rock will have his new venue.
Kid Schlock
Kevin Sorbo will play Romeo in a new stage production!
This is another stab to the sacred heart.
I’m sure Ted Nugent & Kid Rock will be appearing soon! 😠
First up will be the January 6 choir.
I expect Lee Greenwood and The Village People to be future honorees.
Not really the original Village People… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
The upside is GOP men are no longer afraid to admit they’re all gay.
Yes. Along with Ted Nugent, Kid Rock, Carrie Underwood, and Jason Aldean.
Lee Greenwood is on the Board. Seriously.
Dear George, Enough with the word salad... either pick up a weapon and be prepared to sacrifice your life or sit down and shut the fuck up.
And because the Kennedy family being Democrats except for that pos rfkjr
He is like an evil being from a horror movie. Everywhere, he goes things wither and die.
One of the more accurate statements I’ve ever read about Trump. He might live to 1,000 on grievance alone. It drives his existence.
That is my fear, the 🍊💩will not die out of spite for all of us that hate him.
So he can change the name to The Donald Trump Centre 😉
😡
I hope you’re wrong, but… 🤦🏼♀️
He's like the creepy guy in high school who after being rejected kidnaps the cheerleader and forces himself on her.
On the bright side we can probably all look forward to seeing The Village People in permanent residency there...
Well, it’s the only way any of his family can attend so there’s that
New stage for Trump’s proclamations!
Not destroy, just mothball til his fat ass crokes
100%
Also, loved his comments that he "didn't like what they were showing" -- as if the Kennedy Center were the neighborhood multi-plex.
Yet also hadnt attended
As I recall, he skipped the Kennedy Center Honors in his first term. He likely did it bc he knew he'd be unwelcome. This is definitely his revenge. But the joke's on him bc the cool kids still won't hang out with him.
They need to stage a lot of Brecht. And ‘the Producers’
He also said it was “ too wokey.” Such a fool!
Better Kennedy"wokey" than Trump wacky. :)
😂
Back in the 90s, I subscribed to Women's Wear Daily -- and it was obvious there was a not-so-nuanced dislike of Trump and Ivana (although I think most people liked Ivana better) as they tried to buy their way into New York society.
He’s always been a turd that people laughed about. Then he started ripping off contractors & his investors and tried to condemn an 80 yr old woman’s house so he could have more parking for his casino. So NY/NJ hated him. The rest of the country should have listened to us in 2015.
He will change the name to the trump center
And so he can rename it The Bolshoi Apprentice
And it allows him to fulfill a dream: dancing the lead in Swine Lake.
Good one for a chuckle with my coffee this morning.
He did appoint himself head of the ballet company There will be a specific roster of maga ballerinas
Nah, he can do that. You know, with bone spurs and such!
He cannot be in charge of the Kennedy center
Oh, I believe he did it because he wants the honor and knows that he'll never get it any other way. I bet you he gets the honor within the next 4 years... you watch. And then the honor will mean absolutely nothing.
He didn’t finish destroying our country the last time he was in office. He’s back to finish the job!
Americans fell for all his lies again. What a total disgrace.
As James Carville said on a podcast: "Trump is a criminal. And, criminals like to be around OTHER criminals. Hence the people in his administration."
Spot on!
Just close this one down and start up another, without federal assistance.
I have been saying the same thing.
Or they are gonna Kim guilfoyle him. He’ll resign and just run the center. President Musk will pardon him.
I think that holds true for america
Autocrats destroy the Arts.
Exactly. It’s about controlling the arts and promoting what serves his agenda. Anything that challenges it will be called “degenerate” and targeted. It is very important for us to embrace the arts; especially counter culture and alternative styles. Do not conform to a christofascist standard.
I think it's just a little shiny ball the powers that be gave him to play with.
Or it's a medium to facilitate bribes, kickbacks and other money Laundering processes to celebrities and friends of his Orangeness.
He's like a dangerous, fast growing mold or fungus. Or perhaps a slug? They leave a nasty trail where they've been. It's hard to find the right words!
it is also to get back at Caroline as both her parents were involved with its creation
Everything he touches turns to shit.
He’s death..literally
It's also because of his desire for revenge against Caroline Kennedy and the other members of the Kennedy family speaking out against predator bobby jr..
yep...but how about we don't let him do that...
He wants in that club SO bad.
He wants to be in a club that no one wants him in. Pathetic
How long before he has a vaudeville show featuring a blackface act?
