President Trump Terminates Individuals from Kennedy Center Board of Trustees and Puts Immediate End To Drag Shows For Kids

President Trump terminated multiple individuals from the Kennedy Center's Board of Trustees, citing that the current board members "do not share our Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture." He later announced that he would appoint himself as the new chairman of the Kennedy Center.

Trump specifically targeted drag shows at the Kennedy Center, claiming they were "specifically targeting our youth," and that these shows would "stop", referring to events like the "Dancing Queens Drag Brunch" and "A Drag Salute to Divas," which Trump referenced in his decision.

There was wide public support for Trump's actions as seen on social media, celebrating the ban on drag shows for children and his direct involvement in cultural institution leadership.

This move is part of Trump's broader initiative to reshape cultural institutions in Washington, D.C., aligning with his vision for arts and culture.

Following Trump's announcement, the Kennedy Center's website experienced high traffic, leading to technical difficulties and the implementation of a waiting room for visitors.
