Trump – who has called the center as “American Permata” – has overhauled the center since serving, ending many of his leadership.
Council members appointed by Trump include close allies such as the White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and the two Lady Usha Vance. The council in turn chose Trump as his chair and his old allies Ric Grennell as his president.
The reshuffle of management triggered a reaction in the world of culture, with several performances such as “Hamilton” to cancel the planned performance. Trump, in turn, said he “never really liked ‘Hamilton’.”
During a visit to the Kennedy center for the first meeting of the new council in March, Trump said the center had been “extraordinary damaged” because of “poor management.”
“We will bring it back,” he said. “We will make it great again.”
