Trump makes the White House administration in the film ‘Idiocracy’ look positively sane.

boykobostonian.bsky.social•5 days ago

Honestly, it would be so bad that I would actually watch it.

dldb61.bsky.social•5 days ago

For the first Kennedy Center Awards will be Kid Rock, Hulk Hogan, Carrie Underwood, and Ted Nugent. I’d laugh about this but I’ll not sure it won’t be.

ammaw.bsky.social•5 days ago

Can’t wait to see the list of honorees for this one. 🙄

diamondlifeca.bsky.social•5 days ago

Putin, Xi and Kim Jong Un for inspiring him to become a dictator.

tasimmo.bsky.social•5 days ago

See: Reichskulturkammer. Art must reflect the fascist viewpoint.

YMCA... :-(

This was my take all along: He wants to “own” the Kennedy Center so he can have indoor rallies anytime the mood strikes. Next up: Renaming it Trump Center.

flyflicker.bsky.social•5 days ago

And the audience will be full of MAGA "seat fillers" who are there to make Trump look popular ...

professorleek.bsky.social•5 days ago

Somebody needs to tell him that he'll never get Obama's Nobel Peace Prize for ending the war in Ukraine if he does so by siding with the aggressor.

The Nobel Committee should reach out and offer to sell him the prize for the price of helping kick Putin back to Russia.

HELL NO

Me, Me, Me!

corrinajl.bsky.social•5 days ago

Every day, there's another national embarrassment, or 2, or 3...

jmohrbsky.bsky.social•5 days ago

You know I'll be watching

aurorajardin.bsky.social•5 days ago

He will charge $1 million a seat for the privilege of attendance.

aurelius2k5.bsky.social•5 days ago

America, death of an empire by fox news, am radio, reality TV. Dumbest fall of civilization in world history.

brian-hanson.bsky.social•5 days ago

He’ll probably create a golf category, so he can award it to himself.

jim584.bsky.social•5 days ago

Nobody should attend!

coffeeclub.bsky.social•5 days ago

Well, someone has to get rid of those rainbow ribbons. 😡

sheckie51.bsky.social•5 days ago

Head clown wants to emcee clown shows.

zadett.bsky.social•5 days ago

Who's left to give an award to Hulk Hogan?

ues-hv.bsky.social•5 days ago

He is unrelentingly tiresome, pathetic, and dangerous.

diamondlifeca.bsky.social•5 days ago

🎯🎯🎯

nowsentient.bsky.social•5 days ago

I was re-watching I Claudius last night & get a sense of the Caligula character throwing dice at the games … nothing good will come of this either …

michaelrbaier.bsky.social•5 days ago

Oc - he is a parttime President!

There are a lot of much more interesting jobs:

- salesman for Tesla
- godfather for MAGA
- TV host
- dealmaker
- salesman for Bitcoins, Bibles, Sneaker, Watches, …
- envoy of a new class
- …
😂🤡

cjfinnm.bsky.social•5 days ago

So he'll fill a room with more than eager sycophants clapping their hands raw while he repeats his go to phrases. "the likes you've never seen before" "many people are saying" "I'm the best potus US has ever known" "everyone agrees". "Go out and buy the Nazi's fireball now or go directly to jail"

limerick4inarow.bsky.social•5 days ago

He’s the greatest president the world has ever seen. Many people are saying he’s a better host than Johnny Carson. Big strong men with tears in their eyes have said he’s the greatest the world has ever seen in the history of the old and New Testament. As we all know he knows every verse of both.

lemotinjuste.bsky.social•5 days ago

Can’t wait for the Kennedy Center Miss MAGA beauty pageant.

bobwelch.bsky.social•5 days ago

On the bright side at least it isn’t a teen beauty or bathing suit contest

williamthecat.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yet...

joanincanada.bsky.social•5 days ago

Everything with him always comes back to his ego.

rdgreid.bsky.social•5 days ago

Could be record-setting longest award show ever.

elizabethpgraham.bsky.social•5 days ago

Trump would be the first Kennedy Center Honors host to wear a bullet proof vest.

clarnt.bsky.social•5 days ago

Will it be held at Mar-a-Lago?

t-rivers.bsky.social•5 days ago

Classic move,turning a prestigious arts event into a personal branding opportunity. The Kennedy Center Honors celebrate artistic excellence, not political vanity projects. Leadership should uplift culture, not seek the spotlight. Priorities matter, and this speaks volumes about his.

marylandrockets.bsky.social•5 days ago

This assumes DJT has anything on his mind beyond satisfying his latest urges. I do not believe there is any there there when we speak of Trump’s intellect.

pathsnpaddles.bsky.social•5 days ago

And does he want to pick the award winners? 😂 what a joke he’s become.

tink51.bsky.social•5 days ago

Because of course he does.

john335i.bsky.social•4 days ago

I believe Kid Rock is available

maybelle2.bsky.social•5 days ago

We really are living in a headline from the Onion timeline.

debscheetzam.bsky.social•5 days ago

No one should go .

diamondlifeca.bsky.social•5 days ago

$5M per award

concernedgirl.bsky.social•5 days ago

His pathetic bottomless need for attention.

redstateliberal.bsky.social•5 days ago

And CBS will still carry it?

jresc.bsky.social•5 days ago

I'll wager that trump will win some sort of gold medal at that ceremony, or at least a golf trophy.

meredith-keith.bsky.social•5 days ago

Well, "The Trump Center" does have a nice ring to it, no?

diamondlifeca.bsky.social•5 days ago

Trump Center for the Felons and the Pardoned.

johnnyplucas.bsky.social•5 days ago

Oh for heaven's sake. How Pathetic.
Pah-freakin-thetic.

freddy59.bsky.social•5 days ago

😆 🤣 😂

remiarch.bsky.social•5 days ago

How long before he rename it Trump Center’s and erect a big golden statue of himself?

grover945.bsky.social•5 days ago

The “true motive” is cultural takeover, not a one-time event. #VforVendetta

marylandrockets.bsky.social•5 days ago

Humans constantly finds patterns in random data. Trump has needs and hungers but no overarching plan. He can’t think that deeply.

grover945.bsky.social•5 days ago

Of course he can’t; there is no depth to him. I am not assuming that he came up with the idea on his own.

terryawhile.bsky.social•5 days ago

Like the Miss America Pageant? Will he be groping people backstage again? Lecherous bastard! 😮

amidprivilege.bsky.social•5 days ago

He's just so mad at Hollywood for their disdain

stevefermier.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yeah, he's a camera whore.

spaceartal.bsky.social•5 days ago

Who is he going to give the awards to? Kid Rock, Carrie Underwood, Ted Nugent, and Lee Greenwood?

angie5967.bsky.social•5 days ago

Next, the Oscars

edickenson.bsky.social•5 days ago

Great potential to be a televised disaster. Can you imagine!

jeffreyhf.bsky.social•5 days ago

It's like "winning" the club championship at his own golf course, or being given the Purple Heart of a wounded veteran. Imaginary accomplishment by decree.

char0853.bsky.social•5 days ago

The mind boggles trying to imagine that scenario. Both him as host and the artists he would choose to honor.

By their aesthetics ye shall know them.

prof313.bsky.social•5 days ago

Before he’s done he’ll make sure he gets an award. He wants a Nobel too.

djmissbluesky.bsky.social•5 days ago

The only thing giving me cheer right now is watching this ridiculous buffoon try so hard to be an arbiter of arts & culture. They may yet destroy us all, but their takeover in this space will fail spectacularly, IMO.
