President Donald Trump says he has appointed himself as the chairman of the board of trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in what seems to be a reaction to programming last year at the national cultural center featuring drag.

Trump announced former acting DNI director Richard Grenell would lead the Kennedy Center. Board members received termination letters and their names were removed from the center’s website Monday.

President Donald Trump named foreign policy adviser and loyalist Richard Grenell interim executive director of the Kennedy Center on Monday, days after appointing himself chair, solidifying his control over the iconic American cultural institution.
