  • President Donald Trump announced his intention to appoint himself chair of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The org says it has 'received no official communications' about Trump's plan.

The article from AOL News discusses former President Donald Trump's decision to not attend the Kennedy Center Honors in 2017, which led to the Kennedy Center itself declining the traditional White House reception for the honorees. This action was in response to Trump's absence, which was seen as a snub to the arts community. The article highlights the tension between Trump and the cultural sector, noting that his presidency was marked by a perceived lack of support for the arts. It also mentions that subsequent presidents have reinstated the tradition of hosting the Kennedy Center Honors at the White House, underscoring a return to celebrating American arts and culture at the presidential level.
