Richard Grenell, who President Trump has appointed as interim President of the Kennedy Center, shared Kerry Kennedy’s post and fired back, “You left the place in ruin over the years. Financially and physically. You should thank President Trump for saving it.”

In February 2025, President Trump fired the entire board of the Kennedy Center, including its president Deborah Rutter, who had been serving in the role since September 2014. Rutter was reportedly drawing in a jaw-dropping salary of over $1.3 million per year.
It was also at that time that Trump appointed Grenell as interim president of the facility.
In another post on X Saturday, Grenell wrote, “The woman who had the job before me was getting paid $1.4 million a year with an expense account to travel the world – and yet the elevators didn’t all work, the fountains were broken, the roof was leaking, the foundation was crumbling and the inside lounges weren’t touched since 1973.
“Donald Trump saved it. The Trump Kennedy Center means bipartisan support – if the Democrats will stop cancelling the Arts.”
