"Trump will host the Kennedy Center honors" obviously won't be the worst news today but it sure does exemplify some of the worst things going on: the narcissism, the North Korea-style Great Leaderism, the drive to subjugate institutions, the cultural degradation, etc.

not only did Trump assign himself the presenter role, but he seems to have selected the awardees as well

like the Presidential Medal of Freedom, he's effectively killed the honor

In his first turn as the chief of the Kennedy Center, President Donald Trump decided to honor the Queen of Disco, the King of Country Music, the original Phantom of the Opera, Rocky, and Kiss. The choices of Gloria Gaynor, George Strait, Michael Crawford, Sylvester Stallone, and a glam-metal original signal yet the latest example of Trump putting his thumb on the scale of American culture.
