President Trump on Monday toured the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and attended his first board meeting since installing himself as chair. Trump criticized the renowned venue, saying it was in “tremendous disrepair, as is a lot of the rest of our country, most of it because of bad management.” Last month, Trump led a complete overhaul of the Kennedy Center, replacing all Democratic appointees to the board with his own political allies, donors and their wives, including second lady Usha Vance. A growing number of artists have refused to perform there or used their appearances to protest the Trump administration. We’ll have more on this later in the broadcast.
