President Trump and first lady Melania Trump have elected not to attend the annual Kennedy Center Honors in December amid a political backlash among those who will be feted at the event.
The first family will not participate “to allow the honorees to celebrate without any political distraction,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement Saturday morning.
The announcement comes as three of the five honorees — television producer Norman Lear, singer Lionel Richie and dancer Carmen de Lavallade — said they would boycott the traditional White House reception related to the celebration. As for the other two, rapper LL Cool J has not said whether he would attend, and Cuban American singer Gloria Estefan said she would go to try to influence the president on immigration issues.
Presidents and first ladies traditionally attend the Kennedy Center program each year. But the backlash against Trump was prompted by his handling of the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville last weekend, which ended in the death of a counter-protester.
As the New York Times reports other presidents have skipped this celebration in the past (Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Jimmy Carter to be precise.), but all of them were no shows because they had pressing presidential business to attend to, NOT because they were toxic assholes that nobody wanted to spend the evening with.
Probably for the best actually, after all nothing ruins an evening of celebration like having the Nazis show up.
The Kennedy Center itself responded by saying that they are "grateful for this gesture."
Hey, remember when THIS gorgeous couple received standing ovations during the Kennedy Center awards?
Good times.
I am amazed that they could admit 'political distraction' and this wasn't great, the grandstanding artists were just jealous and bitter. It is in December, months away. The Trumps don't have a positive outlook, do they?
ReplyDeleteHope the sycophant are more able to give Don real news in his daily positive reports.
Melania Trump coming to Toronto for Invictus Games

The games, founded by Prince Harry, will be held Sept. 23-30 and will mark the first time Canada hosts the event.
In a month Melania won't be toxic? The worst thing she can do is be silent

Melania is the face of silence, along with the Kushners. They are responsible for this madman being able to do so much harm to the world and this country.
I can't imagine the people of Canada would want to tolerate her indifference and being such an covert operator.
The video of Melania on Inauguration Day, when nmp turned around and said something to her. Smile to instant glum. She is TOLD what to do; I cannot feel sorry for women that stay in such relationships. There is always an escape; I don't care who you are.
Delete@8:40
DeleteEasy to say/think when you've never been in such a relationship. Escape always appears simple when you're looking from the outside in.
GeorgiaPeach
Agreed, GP.
DeleteBullshit on you Georgia peach, staying in such a relationship is understandable when one is not rich or famouse.
DeleteMelania has money and notoriety - she is protected. Lokk at Katie Holmes example. Melania ia craven and complicit. And that alone makes her a VERY shitty mother.
It has been reported that the tRumps had their divorce all sown up, ready to sign the papers when he "won" the nomination. He needed to pretend to be happily married, so they agreed to a $$$$ settlement if she would stay. Being the gold digger that she is, well MONEY SPEAKS HER LANGUAGE, (maybe even all 5 she supposedly speaks!)They are two of a kind, heartless, money grubbing creeps. I wonder why first lady/wife Iwanka and her escort Jared do not go in the tRumps place to this celebration of the arts??
Delete"Anonymous 8:40 PM There is always an escape; I don't care who you are."

You are an ignorant judgmental jackass who doesn't have any idea what you are talking about.

DISTURBING!
They didn't admit shit.
DeleteThat's one of their minions trying to smooth out a "hell no, we're not going" embarrassment.
"Grateful for this gesture," indeed! No doubt the Kennedy family is. As for rumored Lionel not showing up unless he gets to sing, "Sail On," dude, get over yourself.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't Richie know the honorees don't perform, their colleagues perform FOR them in their honor.
DeleteGrateful isn't the half of it. I imagine the committee were discussing ways they could politely suggest that Trump not come.
Well, I wonder if they could invite a former president to sit in instead. Gee, are Mr. and Mrs. B. Obama doing anything that night? Or maybe Mr.and Mrs. Clinton could. Then we could at least pretend Mrs. Clinton is President Hillary. Boy, that would really shrivel Trump's tiny balls.
Either couple would get a standing ovation, prolonged!
DeleteA plugged-in DC friend of mine insists that Caroline Kennedy, speaking on behalf of the Kennedy family, insisted that Mr. And Mrs. Orange-toned stay the hell away from the performing arts center named after her late father.
DeleteSince this friend is virtually never wrong (history proves), I'm going to assume this tale is true until proven otherwise.

ReplyDeleteNot only did President Obama beat him out, but the first three women on the list are Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama and Angela Merkel.
DeleteSomeone's gonna have a temper tantrum when he finds out!
Somebody with a tweety account should send this to Trump.
DeleteReply to 8:56. Someone who hasn't been blocked by cheeto Hitler.
DeleteWhy would anyone admire the third wife of the current occupant of the White House? Other than take her clothes off for seductive-looking photographs she's done absolutely nothing to help anyone.
DeleteBeaglemom
It's amazing to see the differences between the Trumps and Obamas! God, how I miss President Obama and First Lady Michelle being often on the national scene. Truly a lovely couple!
ReplyDeleteObamas = PURE CLASS. tRumps = fake gold plated TRASH.
DeleteOne has to wonder after the gracious First Lady Michelle, how ostracized "poor" Melania feels. She went after him; money does not buy everything. She looks MISERABLE and I, for one, love it.
ReplyDeleteHow can you love seeing anyone miserable? Miserable people sometimes/often cause great misery. I love quantum physics and occasionally I'm distressed by how well it works.
DeleteGeorgiaPeach
She's had so much surgery and botox on her face that I'm not sure she even CAN look happy anymore.
DeleteNot what I meant per se, GeorgiaPeach, but how she wormed her away in, green card or not, the porn etc., I have absolutely NO respect for that when so many women work hard to advance themselves through education and hard work. I consider her a calculating bitch, and on that we will have to disagree.
DeleteCalculating or not, like all of us, she makes her bed and lays on it.
DeleteAnd none of us ever see where another began. JMO.
GeorgiaPeach
Again, bullshit, Georgia Peach. I have no problem with women clawing their way to the top, or marrying for money if they then use that position to do good. She hasn't. She's supported the shitgibbon. And we know about her beginnings. The uncovered lies are interesting. Likely escort, probable illegal immigrant, ignorant school dropout. Self centered, self hating plastic surgery victim.Nothign redeeming about her. NOTHING.
DeleteMy daughter -- a DC lawyer -- has a friends whose husband is a Trustee at the Kennedy Center. Daughter will be at their home Sunday for dinner. She will suggest to the husband that the Trustees invite all five living former Presidents as co-hosts for the Kennedy Center Honors -- Carter, two Bushes, Clinton, Obama.
ReplyDeleteThe presence of these five would lend dignity to the Honors . . . land would give a HUGE finger to T-Rump.
To paraphrase Donnie Johnny Jr, I LOVE IT!
DeleteAs Molly Goldberg might have said: Oy, Jake, it's fentesticle! (Molly always had the "bon mot.").
DeleteThat's a great idea, Old Redneck. Even one former presidential couple doing it would be great.
DeleteThe would be a huge "get". And if the Obamas, Clintons and Bush II agreed, I'll bet Carter and Bush I would try their best to attend. Wow. How awesome would that be?
DeleteWhile I believe it sounds like a good idea, it would only force Humpty Trumpty to come up with some way of showing up, despite having said he wouldn't.
DeleteAnd that probably would force the hands of those threatening to boycott.
That in itself, would be great because it would be a major rebuke of him and his actions, but I have to worry about whether or not the idiot would even SEE the rebuke. His mind twists things into his own reality too easily.

Remember when the arts and culture were honored.celebrated, and awarded from the White House? Now we have had the Mooch, Nugent, Palin, Bannon and a president eliminating the NEA blowing millions to get attention to his properties and line his pockets calling the White House a dump.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fucking nightmare presidential administration.
Sure is, and about time we speak out.

JMO, words, whether written or spoken should mean something and we should be totally cognizant of the definitions of the words we are using. We should not allow them to fall out of our mouths and dribble down our chins. ($arah and DJT, for example)
ReplyDeleteAnd as somebody else said, we have to be the change we want to see.

Stop telling us what to feel and say.
Thank you.
Trump-Russia figure says he’s about to get raided by the FBI
ReplyDeletehttp://www.palmerreport.com/politics/trump-russia-figure-raided-by-fbi/4415/
Trump is too damn scared to sit in the balcony. Some d list actor may shoot him.
ReplyDeleteMelanie is just odd looking. Her eyes are just slits ... Botox??
ReplyDeleteShe looks like a close relative of Caitlyn (Bruce) Jenner.
DeleteAnon at 5:14 am. I've also been struck by how much she looks like the former Bruce Jenner. Is this why Jenner was such a Trump fan?
DeleteBeaglemom
Maybe Dr Jack Meoff did her plastic surgery. I think whomever did it really fucked up. Look at pictures of her modeling days. When you get past the naked body, you will notice she had normal eyes. I hope she sued for malpractice.
DeleteIt is so OBVIOUSLY because the artists would all refuse to come if the Toxic Trumps show up, and Trump knows that.
ReplyDeleteHe will not be ridiculed or shamed, so he is always on the lookout for those "loyal" to him, much like Caribou Barbie was
Trump at Kennedy Center would be like Strom Thurmond at NAACP convention
Thurmond was as fake as tRump. He had a black mistress, they have a daughter. At the end of his life, he FINALLY admitted that.
DeleteNo mistress, he raped his family's frightened black maid.
DeleteProof please, 8:27.
DeleteNo the way i read the story, he actually recognized his daughter as his own child.
DeleteNO amount of money will keep a younger woman in a toxic, nasty, dirty, lying relationship with an old ugly lying so called man. You can bet melania is planning her exit and book.
ReplyDeleteGee, I hope she writes it in all 5 languages she supposedly speaks!!
DeleteShe may be younger than him, but she's an old, hard looking 50.
DeleteWhich is why he has replaced her with a 28 year old model.
DeleteGood, that white trash family doesn’t support the arts anyway, so they will not be missed.
