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.
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’s probably got some flunkie with Albert Speer ambitions. Monumentally ugly buildings where he can hold his monumentally ugly rallies. Crappy sub-Kincaid art. And shitty musicals, mainly from the 50s, as mentioned in the article.
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.
Absolutely. Every show he named is at least 40 years old.
