Trump's leadership brings much-needed reform to a declining institution that had lost its way under previous management. The Kennedy Center was plagued by financial mismanagement, woke programming, and physical deterioration before this intervention. These changes will restore the venue to its former glory as America's premier performing arts destination.
The unprecedented political takeover of a cultural institution threatens artistic independence and has already driven away numerous performers and productions. This represents a dangerous precedent of using government power to reshape arts programming according to partisan political preferences rather than artistic merit.
