Kennedy Center's President, a Trump asskisser, Leaving After Tumultuous Year
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03/13/us/trump-newsRichard Grenell, a close ally of President Trump, is leaving his position as head of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts after a tumultuous year that included an exodus of artists and audiences from the Washington cultural institution.
Mr. Trump announced Mr. Grenell’s departure from the center, which will soon close for two years of renovations, in a post on social media on Friday afternoon.
“Ric Grenell has done an excellent job in helping to coordinate various elements of the Center during the transition period, and I want to thank him for the outstanding work he has done,” Mr. Trump wrote.
The president said Mr. Grenell would be replaced by Matt Floca, the center’s vice president of facilities operations. Mr. Trump said Mr. Floca “has helped us achieve tremendous progress in bringing the Center to the highest level of Excellence!”
