On June 11, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump attended a performance of John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to see Les Misérables—his first visit since reshaping the Center’s leadership and programming. The moment they appeared in the presidential box, the audience erupted into a mix of applause, chants, and loud boos, reflecting the deeply divided response to Trump’s return. At intermission, the tension escalated as shouts echoed through the theater.
