Donald Trump announced on Friday that he appointed himself as head of the John F. Kennedy Center for Dramatic Arts, adding that he is immediately ending many people from the Board of Trustees and the current president.
“In my direction, we will make the Kennedy center in Washington, DC, is great again,” Trump wrote in A. Social truth.
The Kennedy Center is the National Cultural Center in the country and is taking place through a partnership between the public and private sectors. The idea of such a center with Eleanor Roosevelt began in the 1930s and was authorized by Congress in 1958. The doors were officially opened in 1971. The center is famous for hosting music, theater, dance, artwork and performance art, and hosted works ranging from Tina Turner to Lyd Zeppelin.
A spokesman for the Kennedy Center said in a statement that he was familiar with the Trump Social Center, but “he did not receive any official contacts from the White House regarding changes in our board of trustees.”
The spokesman said that some members of the Board of Directors had received termination notifications from the administration.
The current Chairman of the Kennedy Center is David Robinstein, the Mohsen of Milliadir and co -founder of the Carlly Group. Robinstein has held this position since 2010 and was to retire this year. After Trump’s election, the Kennedy Center said it failed to find a new chair to replace Robinstein and that he would do Stay until September 2026.
Robinstein worked as a political advisor to Jimmy Carter and is said to be close to Joe Biden. He was first appointed by George W. Bush.
Members of the Board of Trustees The president usually appoints him. Currently, Public Prosecutor Pam Bondi, Brian Baldard pressure groups and singer Lee Greenwood – all Trump supporters – on the blackboard, according to The Hill. Many appointed Biden are still on the board of directors, including journalist Karen Jean -Pierre. The first women are honorary members, and Congress can also appoint their former members.
“We had a cooperative relationship with every presidential administration,” said the Kennedy Center spokesman.
Robinstein’s position, which Trump says is always born, is always born by members of the board of directors at the center, according to the law authorized by Congress in 1958.
The center’s spokesman said: “There is nothing in the statute of the center that would prevent a new administration from replacing the members of the Board of Directors.” “However, this will be the first time that such action has been taken with the Kennedy Center Board of Directors.”
Trump said the reason for the end of Robinstein and some members of the Board of Trustees is that they “do not participate in our vision in the golden age in arts and culture.” In fact, in fact, he also raised the topic of different people, which has raised it over and over since I swear to the position, saying that the Kennedy Center “distinguishes withdrawals that target our youth specifically – this will stop.”
Atlantic Ocean I mentioned for the first time Trump’s decision to appoint himself as head of the Kennedy Center. During his first term, he did not attend a single annual event in the center – a traditional US president who long participated. Trump was a thorny relationship with the center after the artists protested his administration and threatened to boycott the events in the White House.
Now, apparently, Trump wants to return. Stopping his social position, he wrote: “The best has not come yet!”
