President Trump is officially making the Kennedy Center Honors great again. He just announced this year’s honorees, and for the first time in a long time, they are a slate of true American icons that everyday people actually love and respect.
Putting Culture First
For years, we’ve had to watch as the Kennedy Center Honors became just another ceremony for the liberal elite to reward their woke, anti-American friends. It was an annual parade of artists who spent more time bashing our country than they did creating anything of value. That era is over.
President Trump, in his new role as chairman of the Kennedy Center, has cleaned house of the old Biden-appointed board. He is taking back our great cultural institutions and restoring them to their former glory.
A Slate of True American Icons 🎸🥊
Instead of rewarding a bunch of political activists, President Trump has chosen to honor actual legends. This year’s honorees are a testament to real American and Western culture:
- Sylvester Stallone: The man who gave us Rocky and Rambo – two of the greatest symbols of American strength and perseverance in film history. A true patriot.
- Kiss: One of the biggest and best American rock and roll bands of all time. Pure entertainment and showmanship, not whiny political lectures.
- George Strait: The King of Country Music. An artist who has always represented the values of the American heartland.
- Gloria Gaynor: The queen of disco and a voice that has brought joy to millions.
- Michael Crawford: A legendary British actor of the stage, known for timeless performances like “The Phantom of the Opera.”
These are artists who have brought people together and created timeless work. This is what the Kennedy Center Honors should be about.
The Best Part: NO WOKESTERS ALLOWED
President Trump made a point to tell the American people the most important part of this new selection process. He explicitly stated that he rejected several prospective honorees because they were “wokesters.”
Let that sink in. We finally have a President who understands that our nation’s highest cultural honors should not be given to people who despise our country and its values. This is a massive victory in the culture war. He is sending a clear message that the era of rewarding radical, America-hating ideology is finished.
A New Era for American Culture 🇺🇸
This is about more than just one awards show. It is a powerful symbol that the tide is finally turning. Under President Trump’s leadership, our cultural institutions will once again reflect and celebrate the greatness of America, not tear it down.
And in a final, perfect move, the President announced he will be hosting the ceremony himself in December, bringing back the presidential prestige and glamour that the event has been sorely missing. The Kennedy Center is back.
