Trump announces Sylvester Stallone, George Strait, Gloria Gaynor and more as Kennedy Center honorees

[Applause] [Music] [Applause] Thank you very much. This is a very exciting project. We’re going to do something that will go rapidly, relatively inexpensively, and uh we’ll make it better than it ever was. Frankly, it’ll be something that people going to be very proud of. along with in the bigger picture a place called Washington DC that is the bigger winner. We’ll talk about that in a little while. But let’s talk about right now the Kennedy Center and I’m delighted to be here as we officially announce the incredibly talented artists who will be celebrated later this year at the 2025 Kennedy Center Honors. It’s going to be a a big evening. I’ve been asked to host. I said, I’m the president of the United States. Are you fools asking me to do that, sir? You’ll get much higher ratings. I said, I don’t care. I’m president of the United States. I won’t do it. They said, uh, please. And then Susie Well said to me, sir, I get a host. I said, okay, Susie, I’ll do it. That’s the power she’s got. But I just, uh, so I have agreed to host. Do you believe what I have to do? and I didn’t want to do it. Okay, they’re going to say he insisted. I did not insist, but I think it will be quite successful actually. It’s been a long time. I used to host the apprentice finales and we did rather well with that. So, I think we’re going to do very well because we have some great honores, some really great ones since 1978. The Kennedy Center honors have been among the most prestigious awards in the performing arts. I wanted one. I was never able to get one this year. It’s true. Actually, I would have taken it if they would have called me. I waited and waited and waited and I said, “The hell with it. I’ll become chairman and I’ll give myself an honor.” Maybe I I’m going to honor next year we’ll honor Trump. Okay.

President Trump announced five recipients of the annual Kennedy Center Honors Wednesday — including actor Sylvester Stallone, the rock band KISS and disco singer Gloria Gaynor.
