Donald Trump was asked which of the ‘woke’ shows he’s been lambasting he’s actually seen and had people wobbling their heads into next year

Full disclosure – we weren’t overly familiar with the work of the John F Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts in Washington.

But we know all about it now after Donald Trump said he was appointing himself its chair because of all the ‘woke’ shows it’s apparently been putting on.

The Kennedy Centre, in case you didn’t know, is the country’s national culture centre and sounds, frankly, amazing.

Anyway, Trump was asked which of the ‘woke’ shows he’d seen – or even, basically, if he could name any of them (that would do!) and his answer, while predictable, was no less shocking for it.

Reporter: Why do you want to be chairman of Kennedy Center board?

Trump: Some of the shows were terrible. They were a disgrace.

Reporter: Have you seen any shows there?

Trump: No, I didn’t go. pic.twitter.com/Jxwb9ulRfv

What a massive arts-hole he is.

This idiot seriously needs to be in a mental institution. Critiquing shows he’s never seen? That’s like a food critic reviewing a restaurant from the parking lot.

Trump in a nutshell: I have no clue what I’m talking about, but I have very strong opinions about it. https://t.co/uDjRxSlRFU

Dictators want to control, the press and all forms of media.

Trump wanting to run the Kennedy Center without watching a single show tracks perfectly. This is the same guy who:

1. Tried to overturn an election without understanding how elections work.

2. Picked a fight with the Fed without knowing how interest rates work.

3. Gutted…

Elon told him all the shows sucked. Of course he’s never attended any either.

How long before the media covering him just get sick of the bullshit and say “no, we’d rather not hear from him today?” https://t.co/NNsgjZXXxn

Wait until he finds out that they don’t show IMAX movies.

What an idiot.

And finally this, very much this.
