February 11, 2026·13 days ago·via southernillinoisnow.com
President Trump asserts bold control over the Kennedy Center, firing Biden holdovers from the board in February 2025, installing allies like Richard Grenell, and securing his name on the facade as the Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center.
