How Long Before The Kennedy Center Honors Becomes A Cheap Reality Show Featuring a White Trash Beauty Pageant?

Now that Donald Trump has appointed himself Chairman of the Kennedy Center, how soon before it degrades into a cheap, sleazy beauty pageant where contestants are judged not on talent or accomplishments, but on how enthusiastically they can praise Trump? 

The grand prize: a golden "MAGA Sash" and a photo op at Mar-a-Lago—entry fee required, of course.

The evening’s entertainment? Kid Rock performing the national anthem, Ted Nugent receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award, and Elon Musk being honored with the "Visionary Stable Genius Award" for his outstanding contributions to self-promotion and chaotic leadership. 

Naturally, Trump would present the awards himself, take credit for everyone’s success, and wrap up the night with a new, golden "Trump Award" for Best Tribute to Trump—presented by none other than Trump.
