President Donald Trump has appointed Fox News hosts Maria Bartiromo and Laura Ingraham to the board of trustees at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, marking the completion of his newly formed board. This announcement follows a significant shake-up at the center, where Trump dismissed former board members and assumed the chairmanship. The appointments reflect Trump's aim to restore a sense of greatness to the center, while also facing criticism from others in the arts community regarding partisanship and neutrality.
This completes our selection, Trump wrote. We look forward to restoring the Center to Greatness, and ushering in America's Golden Age. Together, we will Make the Arts Great Again!
However, in recent weeks we have sadly seen decades of Kennedy Center neutrality be destroyed. The recent purge by the Trump Administration of both professional staff and performing arts events...flies in the face of everything this national cultural center represents.
