Trump targets the arts

President Trump plans to fire multiple board members of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the preeminent performing-arts institution in Washington, D.C., and install himself as chairman. Though the Kennedy Center is a public-private entity and the president is tasked with appointing board members, this is an unprecedented move, as the Center has always been considered apolitical.

In other art-related news, Trump has also fired the archivist of the United States, Colleen J. Shogan, who oversees the National Archives and Records Administration.
