Before he entered politics, most Americans knew Donald Trump as an entertainer.
As the host of the hit show “The Apprentice” he was catapulted to a new level of fame.
That persona has carried over to Trump’s political life as he embraces his role as entertainer-in-chief.
In this term, unlike the first, Trump has taken aim at cultural institutions.
He initiated a takeover of the Kennedy Center, has declared that Smithsonian exhibits must submit to White House scrutiny, and he’s successfully sued – and won settlements from – multiple broadcasting giants.
Throughout Trump’s second term, he’s dramatically expanded the authority of the executive branch. Now, he’s using his power to reshape American culture.
