Ladies and gentlemen, in a plot twist no one saw coming—except anyone who’s been awake for the past decade—Donald Trump has appointed himself as the chairman of the Kennedy Center. Yes, the man whose idea of culture is a well-done steak with ketchup now oversees our nation’s hub for the performing arts. It’s like putting a fox in charge of the henhouse, if the fox also fired all the hens and replaced them with more foxes.

In response to this hostile artistic takeover, musician Ben Folds has resigned from his role as artistic advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra, stating simply, “Not for me.”  A man known for his nuanced melodies and thoughtful lyrics deciding he can’t harmonize with the new leadership—who could’ve predicted that?

But wait, there’s more! Shonda Rhimes, the mastermind behind “Grey’s Anatomy,” also stepped down from her position as the Kennedy Center’s treasurer.  Apparently, the prospect of working under a chairman who thinks “Hamilton” is a biography of a car was just too much to bear.

So, to recap: the Kennedy Center, an institution dedicated to celebrating the arts, is now chaired by a man who believes “Les Misérables” is French for “The Media.” And the artists? They’re exiting stage left, pursued by a bear—who’s also been appointed to the board.
