Trump And Vance To Attend What?
Washington, D.C. — President Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will headline the opening night of Les Misérables next week at the newly reformed Kennedy Center, joined by Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha Vance.
The iconic musical, inspired by Victor Hugo’s classic novel, is beginning a monthlong run at the Kennedy Center starting Wednesday. The First Family’s attendance is a strong symbol of the Trump administration’s renewed commitment to restoring American culture and tradition.
“I love the songs. I love the play,” President Trump told Fox News. “I think it’s great — we may extend it.”
Trump’s Bold Takeover of the Kennedy Center: Ending the “Woke” Era in the Arts
In February, President Trump took decisive action to overhaul the Kennedy Center’s leadership, naming himself Chairman of the Board and appointing trusted ally Richard Grenell as interim executive director. The shake-up came after years of growing concern that the Kennedy Center had become a bastion of far-left ideology, out of touch with mainstream American values.
Trump’s goal? Restore patriotism, accountability, and excellence in the arts.
“We’re going to fix it — and we’re doing it fast,” the President declared after a personal tour of the center in March.
Patriotic Music and Political Courage: Trump and “Les Misérables”
This isn’t President Trump’s first connection to the legendary musical. He has long featured “Do You Hear the People Sing?” at campaign rallies — a powerful anthem of defiance, unity, and freedom that resonates with millions of hardworking Americans.
With Les Misérables now returning to center stage under Trump’s watch, supporters see it as a symbolic stand against cultural decay.
Vance Booed by Elites, Applauded by Americans
Vice President JD Vance attended a National Symphony Orchestra performance earlier this year and, according to social media videos, was met with boos from the elite D.C. crowd — a reminder of the cultural divide Trump’s leadership continues to expose and challenge.
Still, Vance stood tall, representing the values of Middle America against a backdrop of out-of-touch liberalism.
Media Spin and False Claims on Ticket Sales Debunked
Recent headlines suggested a “36% drop” in ticket subscriptions following Trump’s Kennedy Center leadership. But the center denied those claims outright. In fact, conservative interest in the arts is reportedly surging, with ticket demand up for performances that reflect American tradition and values.
Why It Matters: This is more than a night at the theater. It’s a cultural turning point. With President Trump leading the charge, Les Misérables isn’t just entertainment — it’s a declaration that America’s spirit is alive and thriving.
