Trump has called the events in Los Angeles an insurrection. The situation was so serious that Trump took his wife to the Kennedy Center instead of being in the situation room monitoring the so-called extreme violence taking place during this "insurrection."
The mixed reception for Trump and his wife Melania as they arrived in the presidential box reflected the heightened emotions that have been unleashed by his overhaul of the cultural center. This was his first time attending a show at the famed location, where he installed himself as chairman in February after firing many members of the board.
Trump told reporters on the red carpet that the evening, which doubled as fundraiser for the Kennedy Center, had raised over $10 million. Donors could pay up to $2 million to attend the opening night, which includes a reception, premier seating, and a photo with Trump.
