Trump has a lot on his plate and he’s very, very busy. Yes, he found time to squeeze in several hours of golf and partying at his beach club over the weekend even as he’s creating a constitutional crisis but he needs to have some downtime.
Now he’s back to work doing the important work of the American people that no one else can do.
President Trump is expected to tour the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts today, where he will also preside over a board meeting as the Center’s new chair.
Last month, Trump led an overhaul of the Kennedy Center’s leadership by dismissing the previously-appointed Board of Trustees, along with longtime Kennedy Center chair David Rubenstein. Deborah Rutter, who served as president of the cultural center for over a decade, was also ousted.
President Trump named an all-new board that, in an unprecedented move, elected him as the new Kennedy Center Board Chair.
The Kennedy Center has not shared a copy of today’s meeting agenda with NPR, but The New York Times reports that Trump is aiming to exert more influence over the selection of the Kennedy Center Honorees and the board plans to discuss changes to the committee that makes nominations.
He’s going to choose the honorees from now on in his quest for the Golden Age of American Culture. I’d guess his first decrees will be for Kid Rock, Mel Gibson, Jon Voight and The VIllage People. Jason Aldeen, James Woods and Billy Ray Cyrus will have to wait for next year.
