JAKE TAPPER: “Well, the votes to make Donald Trump the chairman of the Kennedy Senator Kennedy Center was not unanimous as he said it was. There were some votes that were abstentions. There were some votes against. President Trump called in in the middle of the call. The first was to get rid of the current director, Deborah Rutter, who by all accounts, has done a really good job as director of the Kennedy Center. She was set to retire in August anyway, but basically, to fire her and then to replace her with Ric Grenell. And the president called in the midst of the voting on that and spoke for about four minutes.”

Why did Trump have himself put in charge of the Kennedy Center?
Because he knows that the educated and cultured people who patronize it despise him.
So he seeks revenge. And he knows that his being in charge of the center will destroy it.
