Reporter: "It's been reported that some actors may be boycotting tonight..." President Trump: "I couldn't care less, honestly, I couldn't. All I do is run the country well..." The president and first lady spoke to reporters before watching the opening night performance of “Les Misérables” at the Kennedy Center... in Washington.show more

The Kennedy Center is funded by taxpayers—$43 million annually. If artists boycott patrons over politics, they’re free to walk, but taxpayers shouldn’t foot the bill for partisan grandstanding. The real issue? D.C. elites weaponize cultural institutions as political battlegrounds while ignoring actual waste. Case in point: Biden’s board stacked the center with political operatives, not artists. Trump’s reforms prioritize merit over activism. Performers who can’t separate art from politics shouldn’t collect public dollars. The show must go on—without subsidizing intolerance.

Trump's the ultimate rockstar—outshining all actors 😍

I’m a Republican. I’ve supported strong borders. I’ve backed law and order. But what’s happening right now isn’t about either of those things - it’s about control. ICE is arresting 3,000 people a day. Troops are being sent into cities without governor approval. Guantanamo Bay is back in use - for migrants. Legal residents, students, tourists - people with no criminal records - are being swept up just to hit a number. This isn’t about keeping anyone safe. It’s about showing force. It’s about fear. And now they’re trying to make it permanent through the Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) - a massive piece of legislation packed with buried provisions most people haven’t even seen. ➡️ $10 billion for detention centers - Justifies Guantanamo, base expansions, and military-run sites. ➡️ 30,000 new ICE officers - To scale up mass arrests and pressure field agents. ➡️ Stripping funding from sanctuary cities – Forces local police to act like ICE. ➡️ Legal protection for ICE raids in schools, churches, and hospitals - Yes, they’re back. This would make them lawsuit-proof. ➡️ Federal military support for ICE operations - Already happening in L.A. They want it written into law. ➡️ A 10-year ban on state-level AI regulation - Bans states from creating rules to protect privacy, civil rights, or fight AI-based discrimination. Total federal override. And here’s the thing: this bill hasn’t passed the Senate yet. But the administration is already doing most of this through executive action. They’re just hoping the bill slips through while people aren’t looking. If this passes? • ICE turns into a national police force • Due process gets bypassed • Protests are treated like threats • States lose the ability to protect their own people • Surveillance expands and dissent gets quieter This isn’t conservative. And it sure isn’t freedom. Don’t let them use fear to justify this. It doesn’t matter if you’re Republican, Democrat, independent, or none of the above. If you care about your rights - about limits on power - now’s the time to act. 📞 Call your senators. Demand a NO vote on the Big Beautiful Bill. 🛑 Stop this before it becomes permanent law. 🧠 Support legal defense. Help those getting targeted. 📢 Speak up - even when it’s uncomfortable. Especially then. Because this isn’t just about immigrants. It’s about how far a government can go when people stop paying attention.

The actors have done buried They're careers. Everyone I have talked to now can't stand to watch some of these people after we have found out who and what they really are

Greatest President ever 🇺🇲

If they do, every patriotic American should in turn boycott that and every other play.

Weak. If I was lucky enough to attend the Kennedy Center, I wouldn’t care who was in charge..feel lucky just to be there. I remember a couple of years ago just driving by it gave me goosebumps

Bah, let them! They won’t get paid unless they are unionized 😂

He can’t even remember the Japanese were on our side during WW1 aye!

Im with Trump!!!!
