It is honestly about time Donald Trump decided to replace Richard Grenell as the head of the Kennedy Center. What an absolute disaster his tenure has been. He is leaving the institution completely unrecognizable, having audaciously renamed it and alienated practically everyone involved. It is no wonder the place is nearly closed down and he has become wildly unpopular among patrons and artists alike. The arts require leadership that understands culture, nuances, and community building, not a bulldozer approach that tears down decades of artistic heritage. When a cultural landmark is pushed to the brink of closure just to stroke someone's ego, we all lose. Good riddance to this era. Let us hope the next president can actually restore the reputation and operations of this vital national institution before it is too late. #culture #politics https://thoxt.com/l/tOTPdM 🔗
