    President Trump says he is taking over leadership of the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts. He declared himself chairman of Washington D.C.'s long-celebrated cultural institution on Friday. In doing so, he’ll replace billionaire philanthropist David Rubenstein, an ally of former President Joe Biden who was set to chair until 2026.

    Posting on Truth Social, Trump wrote he was immediately terminating “multiple individuals” from the center’s Board of Trustees “who do not share our vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture.”

    Trump said he would soon announce a new board, “with an amazing Chairman, DONALD J. TRUMP!” He also called out the center’s programming.

    Of all the Nazi things they’re doing, this is one of the Naziest. Soon we will start to see public condemnations of degenerate art.

          Of course I condemn violence. But there is only one reliable cure for a dictator. If something tragic were to happen to a dictator, any dictator, the people would likely benefit and rejoice. It may not be polite, but it would be civilized. And for better or worse, the person hypothetically responsible would be immortalized in the annals of history.
