The fake news media showed up to the Kennedy Center on Wednesday expecting a simple arts and crafts announcement. What they got instead was a masterclass in presidential leadership.
In one single, wide-ranging, and powerful appearance, President Donald J. Trump took command of the nation’s cultural, domestic, and foreign policy narratives. He unveiled a new slate of patriotic, America-First Kennedy Center Honorees, reaffirmed his promise to make our nation’s capital safe again, and sent a final, iron-willed warning to Vladimir Putin ahead of their peace summit.
This is what it looks like to have a president who can do it all.
Putting Culture First
For decades, the Kennedy Center Honors have been used by the liberal elite to reward their out-of-touch, America-hating friends in Hollywood and the arts. Those days are over.
President Trump, in his new role as chairman of the center, announced a slate of honorees who are true American icons: the legendary actor Sylvester Stallone, the rock gods Kiss, country music king George Strait, and disco queen Gloria Gaynor.
But the most important part was what he said about the selection process. He made it clear that he personally rejected several potential honorees he correctly identified as “wokesters.”
Finally, we have a president who understands that our nation’s highest cultural honors should go to people who love our country, not people who spend their careers tearing it down. He is taking back our culture.
Putting Our Capital First
After years of promising to rescue Washington D.C. from the crime and decay brought on by failed liberal leadership, President Trump used the event to reaffirm that his plan is in motion.
With National Guard troops now deployed to assist law enforcement, the President made a bold promise that our capital will be “essentially crime free” under his watch.
While the city’s incompetent mayor whines about an “authoritarian push,” patriots across the country are cheering. This is what we elected him to do – to restore law and order and make our great cities safe, clean, and beautiful again. He is keeping that promise.
Putting America First
As if taking on the cultural rot and urban decay wasn’t enough, the President then turned his attention to the world stage. With his high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin just days away, he sent a clear and final message.
He warned that Moscow would face “very severe” consequences if a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine is not reached.
This is the Art of the Deal backed by the full might of the United States. He is not going into this meeting to talk. He is going in to win. His goal is simple and clear: “I want to end the war.”
This is the kind of strong, decisive, multi-tasking leadership that has been missing for years. In a single day, President Trump proved he is in total command – of our culture, of our cities, and of our foreign policy. The winning is back.
