President Donald Trump used his visit on Monday to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to criticize the venue of which he’s now the chairman, claiming that it’s ripe for an overhaul, just like the country he now leads.

U.S. President Donald Trump visited the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on Monday for the first time since making himself its new chairman, threatening to shutter an expensive new addition and describing the marble Washington landmark as being in "tremendous disrepair.

If President Donald Trump’s sweeping takeover of the Kennedy Center was a play, his first visit as chairman Monday was the end to Act One. “The Kennedy Center is in tremendous disrepair,” the president proclaimed to reporters as he toured the center’s rooms and quickly began ticking off everything he’d like to see changed.
