VIDEO: Trump CROWNS Stallone, Strait & KISS in Oval Office Ceremony With Kennedy Centre Medals

Oneindia

President Donald Trump hosted a high-profile Oval Office ceremony to award the 2025 Kennedy Center Honors medals to an all-star lineup of artists, including Sylvester Stallone, Gloria Gaynor, George Strait, Kiss, and Michael Crawford. Calling them “perhaps the most accomplished and renowned class ever assembled,” Trump showcased the honorees with a redesigned Tiffany & Co. medal and highlighted his personal involvement in selecting this year’s recipients.  Trump’s takeover of the Kennedy Center—replacing its board with GOP allies and promising major programming and aesthetic changes—has made this year’s ceremony one of the most politically charged in its history.  The president is also set to host the Honors broadcast, predicting record-breaking ratings as he returns the spotlight to the iconic celebration of American arts and culture.    #TrumpKennedyCenterHonors #KennedyCenter2025 #TrumpOvalOffice #StalloneHonor #GloriaGaynorHonor #GeorgeStraitHonor #KissHonored #MichaelCrawfordHonor #TrumpArtsCeremony #KennedyCenterTakeover #TrumpHostsHonors #2025ArtsAwards #WhiteHouseCeremony #TiffanyMedal #TrumpHonorsShow #BreakingNews #AmericanArts #KennedyCenterUpdate  ~HT.318~
