Trump names new CEO for Kennedy Center

President Trump strikes again by decree:

I am pleased to announce that Ric Grenell will serve as the Interim Executive Director of The Kennedy Center. Ric shares my Vision for a GOLDEN AGE of American Arts and Culture, and will be overseeing the daily operations of the Center. NO MORE DRAG SHOWS, OR OTHER ANTI-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA — ONLY THE BEST. RIC, WELCOME TO SHOW BUSINESS!

Grenell, 58, was acting director of national intelligence under President Trump in 2020 and, before that, United States ambassador to Germany.
