Someone Needs To Ask Grandpa ShoutyPants What Century This Is

Trump thinks he's trumping Broadway:
He mused about how great it would be if he hosted the Kennedy Center Honors, and he floated the idea of giving awards to dead figures in culture and sports, including Luciano Pavarotti, Elvis Presley and Babe Ruth," co-host Alicia Menendez reported.

"I mean, the guy is living in his mind in a different time and so he wants to elevate those figures that he enjoyed," Steele responded. " And, you know, he himself once dreamed of being a Broadway producer. So now he gets to produce and, mind you, he's got a frigging country to run, right? He's the president of the United States, but I'm going to waste my time sitting in a board meeting at the Kennedy Center?"

 Which explains this:.

According to a column at MSNBC by culture critic Rebecca Ritzel, the president has been proposing a slate of plays, including "Cats," Camelot,” “Fiddler on the Roof” and “Hello, Dolly!” seemingly unaware that there are no touring companies presenting those plays from bygone days.
Check that list. The newest one on it is over 40 years old.
