Y’all, I don’t know what’s crazier—gas prices, people wearing flip-flops in the snow, or Donald Trump deciding he needs to be in charge of the Kennedy Center. But here we are. Buckle up.
So, Trump woke up today and said, “You know what I should run next? The arts.” THE ARTS, y’all. The same man whose taste in home decor looks like Liberace and a Vegas casino had a baby just appointed himself chairman of the Kennedy Center. Fired everybody. David Rubenstein? Gone. Philanthropist, billionaire, longtime supporter of the arts? BOOTED. Trump came in like an eviction notice, and nobody was safe.
And why, you ask? Because apparently, the Kennedy Center has been putting on too many drag shows. Now listen, I don’t know what Trump thinks happens at the Kennedy Center, but I promise you RuPaul ain’t back there in a ball gown hosting “Hamilton.” But nah, Trump’s on a mission to turn the place into a MAGA talent show. Next thing you know, we’re gonna have Ted Nugent conducting the symphony and Kid Rock reciting Shakespeare. “To be or not to be, that’s some real America First energy right there.”
Now, here’s where it gets really good. This is all part of Trump’s big plan for America’s 250th birthday in 2026. He wants a Golden Age in Arts and Culture—which I guess means replacing “Les Misérables” with “1776: The Musical But Make It a Gun Rally.” He’s got his sights on the whole party: a giant state fair, a “Garden of American Heroes,” and now, his very own cultural command center. Somebody tell me how we went from “Hamilton” to whatever this is.
But wait, the Kennedy Center already had a plan for 2026! It’s called The Promise of US—celebrating American diversity and creativity. But Trump ain’t about that. He wants it to be The Promise of Trump, starring him, produced by him, and probably featuring a 90-minute monologue about how Broadway is rigged against him.
I mean, this is wild. One minute, we’re talking about symphonies and ballet, and the next, it’s like Trump is turning the Kennedy Center into a Mar-a-Lago wedding reception. Y’all, we gotta pay attention. Because if he starts putting gold toilets in the opera house, we’re gonna know exactly where this is headed.
