Trump's Kennedy Center Obsession: Greed Fuels Global Firestorm

President Donald Trump announced Sunday the closure of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., starting July 4, 2026, for an approximately two-year renovation project. The decision, revealed on Truth Social, followed a year-long review involving contractors, musical experts, arts institutions, and advisors, according to Trump.

The closure coincides with the country's 250th anniversary and is framed by Trump as an improvement project, although it comes after a series of artist cancellations at the venue. These cancellations followed Trump's actions last year to overhaul the Center's leadership and add his name to the building's facade, according to Vox.

Constance Grady, a senior correspondent for Vox, noted that Trump has always been fascinated by theater, but the theater world has not reciprocated his affection.

In other news, Utah's Republican Governor, Spencer Cox, signed legislation adding two seats to the Supreme Court over the weekend, according to Vox. Multiple news sources also reported that the FBI searched Fulton County's election office in January 2026 as part of an election integrity investigation observed by Tulsi Gabbard at Trump's direction. Conservative populist Laura Fernández won Costa Rica's presidential election, and the Trump administration's attempts to halt offshore wind projects were blocked by courts, according to Vox.

Alyssa Rosenberg of Vox noted that First Lady Melania Trump recently accepted a media deal that would pay her at least seven times the income of the average American household.
