He has no business in the Kennedy Center, Kennedy’s were Democrats😡😡😡😡😡

richard98250.bsky.social•9 days ago

Trump knows nothing about the arts, and most likely the newly-appointed board knows about as much as Trump.

greybo62.bsky.social•8 days ago

Well that ends the Kennedy Awards cause what serious artist would want an award from Trump!

I sent these to Rachel as well, I hope you like, much more Blue Crew gear on my shop! ❤️ya girl!

What we're seeing now is the digital equivalent of the burning of the Reichstag. Trump intends to create mass chaos & then declare martial law. He's an inept sociopath & must rely on what has worked well in the past. In this case, that means reading from Hitler's script. I wish this were hyperbole.

Would love to see you interview the first and second lady about their husbands' comments regarding race and immigration

mikem911.bsky.social•9 days ago

The real talent won't show up. He'll get vanilla re-run no talents.

comtechdiagnostics.bsky.social•9 days ago

As soon as Republicans started using Lee's song, I didn't like him. Then I thought, that's not fair. BUT NOW, I see HE IS ONE OF THEM! So, I guess I was ok to assume in this case!

shelby333.bsky.social•9 days ago

He will undoubtedly rename it the Trump Center to perpetrate even more psychological warfare on the citizens of America.

Fvcking Monster!

michaelpepsdeleon.bsky.social•9 days ago

What’s wrong exposing what was wrongly used on the people’s fund?

When will you ever stop delivering hate? Isn’t Trump elected by the Majority? What’s wrong with you really?

blackhawk1970.bsky.social•9 days ago

I want to know, where would Trump be today if Elon and his money were not in the picture. Could he do anything on his own. He doesn't seem to be in control and without Musk money what could he hold over Congress's heads? Would we be in a totally different situation? So, how do we bankrupt Elon?

charmainela.bsky.social•9 days ago

His presence is how he shuts down the arts. He’s the 💩 in the punchbowl.

dwdingus.bsky.social•9 days ago

Maybe he can get kid rock and hulk Hogan to proform.

dwdingus.bsky.social•9 days ago

I'm sure they could get Lee greenwood to sing the only song anyone ever heard of from him.

dwdingus.bsky.social•9 days ago

The Kennedy Center is no longer an esteemed institution, might as well turn it into a comedy club because as of now it is a joke.

donabowens.bsky.social•9 days ago

Dictators hate the arts.

sballi12.bsky.social•9 days ago

Makes me sick! He's such a disgusting human!

levi11-25.bsky.social•8 days ago

He ruins everything he touches.

shakemupnow.bsky.social•9 days ago

Trump will always be unable to buy culture. The Felon will be scraping the bottom of the barrel with his clown car of idiots!

katerz1.bsky.social•9 days ago

“unable to buy culture” 🎯
Well said!

SCUM BAGS artists should just cancel

I wonder why Kennedy didn’t take over the Kennedy Center.

alexa-williams.bsky.social•9 days ago

If these firings are illegal, I would like to see him sued. If you're not happy with how things are going, please contact your Washington politicians if they are Republicans and tell them that they won’t be re-elected if they don’t stop trump. He needs to be impeached and removed from office.

eaholck.bsky.social•9 days ago

This is disgusting (& some serious North Korea type sh*t) but I'm not getting too worked up over it, because it doesn't really impact that many people or the country as a whole. I can only spare so much outrage on any given day. That said, I hope every artist boycotts the KC & this backfires bigly.

cartierkc1957.bsky.social•9 days ago

To Trump I dedicate my Valentine poem : "How do I Hate thee,let me count the ways. I hate thee to the heigth and depth and breadth of my soul." ok, so I borrowed it from Melania. Yes I'm sure she's also upset about a clown as chairman of the Kennedy center who did not give her the job

Just another narcissistic move. Look at me, look at me.

millicentrandy.bsky.social•9 days ago

Can’t wait to see the line up? No real artist will choose to perform there any more. Again, it is true that everything he touches dies

Kid Rock and Kanye

millicentrandy.bsky.social•9 days ago

Oh you’re so right. What a thought.

jemezmama.bsky.social•9 days ago

If you don't believe he wants to control pretty much everything in govt., this move should raise your eyebrows! Now he wants to be in charge of the culture. In The Guardian article today, he admitted he hadn't seen any of the shows that he was condemning. But it doesn't matter with him, does it?

dragovian.bsky.social•9 days ago

Oh, but he's heard things, terrible things. Terrible things about the wokeness of the arts. It's a crime, really, a crime that these terrible woke things can be happening and the American people elected him to put a stop to them.

gcrich66.bsky.social•9 days ago

Who’s for starting another center for the arts? We can call it The People’s Cultural Center for the arts or the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Cultural Center of the Arts. Who’s with me? 🖐🏽

playwrightvtd.bsky.social•9 days ago

He wants Dear Leader status so badly. We don’t want your trashy idea of culture, Dude!

dianarz.bsky.social•9 days ago

This is all absolutely north Korea shit

dianarz.bsky.social•9 days ago

No performer of any kind should perform there. Employees need to quit.

Retribution...

rickymun.bsky.social•9 days ago

This is a clown show. The world is watching the United States become a dictatorship. Never thought I would live to see this and a large number of Americans seem to be ok with it.

George Washington: I can not tell a lie.
Donald Trump: I can not tell the truth.
Trump supporters: I can not tell the difference.

magemasked.bsky.social•9 days ago

When they try to have a magat event. Shut it down! Block it with protests.

emmawoo39.bsky.social•9 days ago

We have only a week or so until the name is changed to the Donald J. Trump Center, right?

mlmcg.bsky.social•9 days ago

Caroline should take everything out of the Center that is associated with her dad and mom there’s enough $$ and supporters of the Arts in this town to open a new Kennedy Center in DC

forseofone.bsky.social•9 days ago

He can change the name to Orange Sphincter Center now.

Traitor.

Peace

sheenarj.bsky.social•9 days ago

The Dictator in chief thinks with a wave of his big fat felt marker he can erase the Arts. The Real Kennedy family should remove their support and set up shop elsewhere! Their parents would not stand for this insult. #boycotthearts

hollyann99.bsky.social•9 days ago

Thank you, Joy, for covering this. I heard about it yesterday and, as a musician, it bothered me that there wasn't any mention of it on MSNBC.

aianping.bsky.social•9 days ago

Why

aianping.bsky.social•9 days ago

Well, that should add some class. One-hit-wonder Greenwood should really elevate the Center! Rather than a Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden like Wilson will Trump host a nazi rally at the Kennedy Center? Trump certainly likes to degrade time-honored institutions.
