Kennedy Center Tour, Trump thought of his childhood “efficiency for music”
During his first visit to the Kennedy Center since he made himself Chairman of his Board of Directors, President Trump had a lot to say about Broadway and dancers in narrow silk clothing, Botomac River and Elvis Presley.
But in a special discussion at the beginning of the center’s board meeting on Monday, Mr. Trump presented something that he usually directs in larger places: a personal story about his childhood.
He told the members of the collected board of directors that in his youth he showed special capabilities in music after conducting the competency tests that his parents ordered, according to three participants in the meeting.
He said he could choose notes on the piano, and he said to the members of the Board of Directors, some of whom are known for years and other newly new. But the president said that his father, Farid Trump, was not happy with his musical abilities, according to the participants, and that he had never developed his talent. One person in the room said that Mr. Trump seemed to be joking with his father.
He said at some point, according to people at the meeting: “I have a high music.” “Do you believe that?”
“For this reason I love music,” he added.
Mr. Trump’s notes have not been reported before. They were not part of an audio recording of the meeting of the Board of Directors obtained by the New York Times earlier this week.
But they are a story that he told it separately, according to a person aware of the comments, about a period in his life before his parents sent him to the New York Military Academy at the age of 13.
The story came as a surprise to some people in the room.
Rural singer Lee Greenwood, known as “God bless in the United States”, confirmed in an interview that Mr. Trump has explained the point of highlighting his childhood relationship with music at the meeting on Monday. Mr. Greenwood, who was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Kennedy Center by Mr. Trump, produced a copy of the Bible with the President. He said that the two had discussed the capabilities of the president before.
“He is very creative and very technician,” said Mr. Greenwood. “I don’t doubt that he has a great music ear.”
When asked about the story, Stephen Cheung, the White House’s communications director, did not address directly, but he said that the president “is an indicator and his musical options representing a wonderful painting of vibrant colors when others often paint the pale pastel.” Mr. Cheung said that, given the roles of Mr. Trump as President of the President and Kennedy, “No one is uniquely qualified to bring this country and its rich history in the arts, to the forefront.”
Mr. Trump has long showed interest in music and theater, and he once dreamed of becoming a producer in Broadway. At the meeting on Monday, the members of the Board of Directors, who were better, were: “Opera” or “Les Misérables”. Remember to attend Andrew Lloyd Webber “Cats” in the early 1980s. He talked about his love for singers like Broadway Betty Buckley and musical plays such as “Hello, Dolly!” And “violin on the surface”.
“A lot of great offers,” he said at one time, according to registration. “A lot of great offers.”
Mr. Trump moved to the former Chairman of the Kennedy Center, funded by David M. Robinstein, and all members of the Board of Directors appointed by the Biden Administration last month. He had told the allies for weeks that he wanted to lead the Kennedy Center, which he sometimes indicated incorrectly in the name of the Lincoln Center, the place of the pioneering arts in its hometown, New York City.
Mr. Trump wandered around the current music “Hamilton” while he was touring the center on Monday; Its producers canceled a planned tour at the Kennedy Center next year to protest against its seizure of the institution, which was from the two parties for decades. Other artists have also canceled links there.
Kennedy hosted and gave him to honor the artists who criticized Mr. Trump’s behavior as a president, a fact that he and his advisers often mention.
Mr. Trump’s desire to influence programming in one of the leading American arts centers in some of his longer aides.
Mr. Trump spends hours working on operating lists for his gatherings, and bombing music on his IPAD in his clubs, because he personally behaves as a disc. Some artists repeatedly asked him to stop using their music.
During his first term, Mr. Trump’s advisers often found that music was a way to calm him down when he was angry. On his aircraft – his own plane known as Trump Force One, and on the presidential plane, Air Force One – Mr. Trump often explodes music to the extent that it beats across the cabin.
During an event in the campaign hall in the state of Pennsylvania in October, after two of those present respected medical attention, Mr. Trump amazed some of his assistants by stopping the event and providing his team’s music for more than half an hour. Mr. Trump stood on stage swinging and dancing while music is played.
During a late meeting of the assistants who wandered in his operating list in the first chapter, Mr. Trump wandered through Spotify in search of songs from “Tommy”, The Who’s Rock Opera, for more than an hour in search of a specific song I think he remembers. The assistants could not find it.
