Trump announces Kennedy Center honorees as he tries to put his stamp on DC

The appearance at the iconic performing arts complex came as Trump seeks greater authority over Washington, DC, and its most prominent cultural institutions in an aggressive bid to put his stamp on the Democratic-led city. Trump seized control of the institution’s board earlier this year, telling reporters Wednesday he would oversee a sweeping revamp of the center and its programming.


“We ended the woke political programming, and we’re restoring the Kennedy Center as the premier venue for performing arts anywhere in the country, anywhere in the world,” Trump said. “We have some unbelievable plans.”

Trump, who said he was “98% involved” in picking the center’s next slate of honorees, announced that the awards would be given to singer and songwriter George Strait; actors Michael Crawford and Sylvester Stallone; singer Gloria Gaynor; and the rock band KISS.


While insisting that he did not push to be part of the award presentations, Trump nevertheless appeared to relish the prospect of hosting a television show again, years after rising to national prominence as the face of the reality TV show “The Apprentice.”

“I think it will be quite successful,” Trump said. “It’s been a long time. I used to host the ‘Apprentice’ finales, and we did rather well with that.”
