President Donald Trump on Friday evening announced that he was dismissing multiple members of the Kennedy Center's Board of Trustees in Washington, D.C., including the current chairman.

The president did not specify who all he plans to "immediately" terminate, but The Atlantic reported that he plans to remove new board members, including former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and former President Joe Biden adviser Mike Donilon. 

It is not clear whether Trump can actually remove the trustees or Chairman David Rubenstein, because presidents appoint the board members to six year terms.

"At my direction, we are going to make the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., GREAT AGAIN," Trump shared in a post on Truth Social. " I have decided to immediately terminate multiple individuals from the Board of Trustees, including the Chairman, who do not share our Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture. We will soon announce a new Board, with an amazing Chairman, DONALD J. TRUMP!"

Trump highlighted the center's recent progressive displays, accusing it of hosting drag shows last year that specifically targeted Washington, D.C. youth, which he vowed to end.

As president, Trump skipped the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony in his first term, and did not host an annual gathering of honorees at the White House, per Deadline.

The latest development however could signal a change in the president's posture toward the Washington, D.C. staple.

"The Kennedy Center is an American Jewel, and must reflect the brightest STARS on its stage from all across our Nation. For the Kennedy Center, THE BEST IS YET TO COME!" He concluded.
