After becoming chair of the Kennedy Center last month, President Donald Trump announced the addition of Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham and Maria Bartiromo to its board.
Trump shared the news on Truth Social, emphasizing his goal to restore the center to greatness and “Make the Arts Great Again.”
Trump’s appointment of Ingraham and Bartiromo follows his takeover of the Kennedy Center, where he dismissed several long-standing board members and appointed Richard Grenell as temporary head. His actions have sparked backlash, with figures like Whoopi Goldberg and producers of Hamilton pledging not to return. Trump has also made several Fox News appointments to key positions in his administration, including Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense and Tammy Bruce as State Department spokesperson.
