💨 Abstract

In 2025, President Donald Trump personally selected the honorees for the Kennedy Center’s annual gala, featuring pop culture icons like Sylvester Stallone, Michael Crawford, Gloria Gaynor, George Strait, and the band KISS. Trump's choices reflect his populist agenda and disdain for the cultural elite, using the event to reinforce his image as an outsider fighting the establishment.
