Trump's message to actors who boycotted his Kennedy Center appearance
Share this @internewscast.com

On Wednesday night, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump attended an event at the Kennedy Center, where they faced questions regarding the Les Misérables cast members’ decision to boycott his appearance. Trump responded with determination.

‘I couldn’t care less. Honestly, I couldn’t,’ said Trump. ‘All I do is run the country well.’ 

Prior to the Wednesday night event, there were rumors suggesting that the Trumps, alongside Vice President J.D. Vance and his wife Usha, would view the renowned musical featuring some understudies.

Additionally, there were threats that drag queens could interrupt and heckle the president during the performance. 

Several drag queens were gathered a block away from the Kennedy Center as the presidential motorcade drove by. 

When the Trumps did enter the theater, there were cheers and applause and a USA chant – and also some boos.   

The president took over the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in February in an unprecedented way. 

Just 19 days into his second term, Trump proclaimed that he plans to dismiss the Kennedy Center board, named in honor of the late Democratic president, and appoint himself as the chairman.

Since then, he’s made Richard Grenell, who served as the acting Director of National Intelligence during Trump’s first term, interim Kennedy Center executive director. Grenell also serves as a special envoy for special missions. 

He applauded Grenell’s tenure thus far – with programming heavily featuring Broadway, as a number of artists associated with the Kennedy Center cut ties. 

‘The new era here is going to be something,’ Trump said on the red carpet, as Grenell stood at the top. ‘The bones of this facility are really incredible, we’re going to make it really great.’ 

During a dinner last month with the new Kennedy Center board members, Trump went off about the look of the Kennedy Center’s modern addition. 

While walking on the red carpet, Trump – a native New Yorker – was asked what play he first saw in a theater.

‘Well a long time ago, I would say maybe it was Cats,’ the president answered. 

Melania Trump answered that her first show was, ‘Phantom of the Opera.’ 

Mrs. Trump told the Daily Mail she was a Les Mis fan.

‘I am, thank you.’ 

The president also said he’s seen the French Revolution-era musical on multiple occasions.  

‘I’ve seen it, we’ve seen it, a number of times, it’s fantastic. It was just about our first choice. That’s what we got and we’ve got other ones coming, other great ones coming,’ Trump said.  

But when a reporter asked the president whether he felt more in line with Inspector Javert or the former convict Jean Valjean, he seemed miffed. 

‘Oh that’s a tough one, the last part of that question, that’s tough I think,’ Trump said laughing. ‘You better answer that one honey, I don’t know.’

Melania Trump didn’t say.
