The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, in Washington, D.C.
Mandel Ngan/AFP/Getty ImagesPresident Donald Trump is now chairman of The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. Trump replaced 18 members of the board with allies who then elected him into the position.
There is no precedent for this move – most presidents have been hands-off with the cultural center since it opened in 1971 – including President Trump himself during his first term.
Already, artists affiliated with the center have departed and performers are canceling shows.
For a decade, Deborah Rutter served as President of the Kennedy Center. This week, she was ousted from that position. In her first interview since then, she speaks with NPR's Mary Louise Kelly about the abrupt end to her tenure.
