Donald Trump’s Anti-‘Woke’ Rant Ends With Awkward Admission
HuffPost
The president's remarks took an uncomfortable turn.
President Donald Trump faced criticism and mockery on social media after he accused the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts of being “woke,” before admitting within seconds that he hadn’t actually seen any shows there.
Talking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump was asked why he wants to become the chair of the board of the national cultural center in Washington, D.C.
“I want to make sure it runs properly,” replied the president, who announced his new board position last week while also slamming drag performances hosted at the venue.
“We don’t need woke at the Kennedy Center,” Trump continued. “Some of the shows were terrible, a disgrace that they were even put on. So I’ll be there until such time as it gets to be running right.”
Trump was asked: “Have you seen any shows there? How do you know they are terrible?”
They warned how it's an "alarming first step" by the president.
The late night host said the president already had a "petty" reaction to this one.
