On social media, Kennedy Center executive director Richard Grenell said it was the center’s decision to sever ties with the opera company — and not the other way around.
“The Trump Kennedy Center has made the decision to end the EXCLUSIVE partnership with the Washington Opera so that we can have the flexibility and funds to bring in operas from around the world and across the U.S.” Grenell said. “Having an EXCLUSIVE relationship has been extremely expensive and limiting in choice and variety.”
Can’t fire someone who’s already quit, bub, but you can pretend on social media that it happened that way.
Grenell reposted his message on Saturday after he was alerted that his X.com account had been hacked and the original message had been removed.
The one qualification anyone who works for Trump must have is never, ever admit to anything that reflects poorly on Trump. I don’t know if these people understand how embarrassing responses like Grenell’s are, or if they actively accept it as the price they pay for access to power.
