The president, who is also now the board chair for the Kennedy Center, convened a meeting of said board on Monday. In a recording of the meeting shared with The Washington Post, Trump and members said they’d like to see “Camelot,” “Cats,” “Fiddler on the Roof,” “Hello, Dolly!” and “The Phantom of the Opera” featured at the Kennedy Center. Speaking with reporters, Trump said, “We’re going to get some very good shows.”
There are a number of practical problems with this wish list, the first of which is that none of those musicals are touring in North America.
It makes horrible looking bust art based on this thumbnail.
here’s one they’re working on of Elon Musk.
drumpf… ignorant? oh the humanity!! /s
If only he could watch Fiddler and realize he’s not cheering for the same people as everyone else.
All he would see is a bunch of “poors” hoarding all that real estate and would cheer when they had to leave Anatevka
No he doesn’t.
The only ‘big plans’ he has for the arts, like education, is to burn it all down.
Stop giving him credit for just ‘being different’ instead of being a Nazi psychopath.
He does have a weird obsession with Cats and other musicals, so I bet he’s genuine about wanting those shows.
Probably nostalgia goggles from seeing them decades ago.
Isn’t that pretty much the same as the rest of Trump’s life?
I was literally about to come into this thread to say the same.
but doesn’t seem to know what it does
Doesn’t seem to know what it does, doesn’t seem to know how it works, etc.
He’s fucking illiterate and has been rewarded handsomely for being fucking illiterate. It’s why he hates education so much.
It’s part of why he won’t type at a computer and even needs a secretary to type most of his tweets for him. Because he is functionally fucking illiterate. Also the whole misogynistic 1940-80s “typing is women’s work” horseshit.
He’s Homer Simpson in a Frank Grimes world.
He’s Mr. Burns who was born senile.
… Well, maybe he will retire from the Presidency and become a Producer! His first big show: “Springtime for Elon”!
Step #1 —Name it after himself, #1 in his own little mind
Step #2–Book the musical “Springtime for Twitler”
They could make it a big church. I’m surprised he hasn’t renamed it yet, after all Kennedy was a democrat. Surely it is easier to rename than the Gulf of Mexico.
