President Donald Trump floated the idea of ditching the Oval Office Tuesday to instead pursue a career as a television host, asking his followers whether they supported the idea of an abrupt career change.
Whether serious or in jest, Trump made the remarks after announcing that he would be hosting the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony scheduled for Tuesday evening, which he said he’d be doing “at the request of the board, and just about everybody else in America.”
“Tell me what you think of my ‘Master of Ceremony’ abilities,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.
“If really good, would you like me to leave the Presidency in order to make ‘hosting’ a full time job? We will be honoring true GREATS in the History of Entertainment: Sylvester Stallone, Michael Crawford, KISS, George Strait, and Gloria Gaynor.”
Following Trump’s appointments to the Kennedy Center’s Board of Trustees, the center was voted by its board to be renamed the “Trump Kennedy Center,” though legal efforts have already been launched to stop the center’s renaming, the plaintiffs of which have argued the name change to be unlawful.
