YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Donald Trump cast the Kennedy Center, one of the nation’s premier cultural institutions, as being in a state of disrepair, vowing sweeping changes to the iconic venue’s structure and programming.
Trump toured the center and spoke at a board meeting, highlighting how he — now the Kennedy Center’s chairman — and his allies are moving to reshape a centerpiece of Washington’s art scene after dismissing its prior leadership. Critics have said Trump’s moves are politically motivated and aimed at punishing an institution with which he has long had a contentious relationship. His actions have led to backlash, including the hit musical “Hamilton” scrapping an upcoming run.
“I never liked ‘Hamilton’ very much,” Trump said Monday. “But we are going to have some really good shows.”
He said that instead of the popular show about the American Revolution, the venue would instead be hosting “Les Misérables,” the hit Broadway musical about the French Revolution. “I would say this, come here and watch it and you’ll see over a period of time, it’ll improve,” he said.
Watch President Trump speak to the press at the Kennedy Center in Washington.
