In a dazzling display of cultural patronage, President Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump graced the opening night of Les Misérables at the Kennedy Center last evening. This event not only highlighted the revival of the iconic institution but also underscored the Trump Administration’s pledge to restore it as the pinnacle of arts and culture in the heart of the nation.
As the Chair of the Kennedy Center’s Board of Trustees, President Trump, alongside First Lady Melania, who holds the honorary title of Chair, was met with enthusiastic applause and chants of “USA” upon their entrance into the Presidential Box. This reception is perhaps a fitting reminder of the theatrics often inherent in political life.
