President Trump hosted the Kennedy Center Honors, honoring artists such as Sylvester Stallone and Kiss, highlighting their impact on American culture.

President Donald Trump hosted the Kennedy Center Honors on Sunday, praising honorees such as Sylvester Stallone, Kiss, Gloria Gaynor, and others as being "legendary in many ways." Trump, the first president to command the stage, emphasized the influence of these artists on American culture. Since returning to office, Trump has used the event to criticize the "woke" culture that he considers anti-American. Among the honorees are also George Strait and Michael Crawford. Trump promised that the broadcast of the program, scheduled for December 23, will have the best ratings. The ceremony was emotional, especially for the members of the band Kiss, who paid tribute to former guitarist Ace Frehley, who recently passed away. Stallone described the honor as overwhelming, and Gaynor said it is a dream come true. The event recognized the contributions of artists from various fields, including film, music, and theater.
