Trump fires Kennedy Center board members citing drag shows, appoints himself chairman

He said a new board would be announced soon, adding the new chairman, naming himself, is "amazing."

Tickets were sold for nearly $100 each, with reservations required, and included bottomless mimosas.

Following Trump's announcement, the Kennedy Center's website limited users, citing "high traffic."

Hundreds of visitors had to queue in an online waiting room to view the site.

In his post, Trump called the center "an American jewel," and said it must reflect the nation's "brightest stars" on its stage.

"At my direction, we are going to make the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., GREAT AGAIN," the President wrote. "For the Kennedy Center, THE BEST IS YET TO COME!"

It is unclear which Board of Trustees members have been canned, as of Friday night.
