36. Prediction: He will seek to have certain Kennedy Center Honors awards rescinded

Mar 2025

Rescinding a Kennedy Centers Honor is not unprecedented. Bill Cosby was a a Kennedy Center Honoree in 1998, but his award was rescinded in 2018. It would be surprising to me if Trump doesn't seek to rescind the Kennedy Center Honors granted to certain artists who have criticized him and/or are prominent Democrats, such as Barbra Streisand, George Clooney, Bette Midler, Joan Baez, Robert DeNiro, to name a few.
