When President Trump walks into a crowd of people, he is usually welcomed with a standing ovation and loud applause. Whether it’s giving remarks at West Point, entering a UFC event, or giving a speech at a rally, Trump is welcomed with loud cheers. His recent appearance at the Kennedy Center was a bit different. While walking into the Kennedy Center to watch the play Les Miserables he was welcomed by both cheers and boos.

Chants of “USA” also broke out: President Trump and the first lady take their seats at the Kennedy Center. Reception: mixed. pic.twitter.com/U13GSiohpN — Shawn McCreesh (@ShawnMcCreesh) June 11, 2025 Honestly, it sounds like a mixed response. Per Yahoo News: In case you’re unfamiliar, since being in office, Trump fired the Kennedy Center’s director and board, replaced them with his own supporters, and made himself chair. He now has significant control over the center’s leadership and decisions. A video from Reuters reporter Jeff Mason where you can clearly hear booing is going viral. To be fair, you can also hear a chant of “U-S-A” breakout. When some people planned to boycott the event before it started, President Trump stated he couldn’t “care less.” Per WUSA9: President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Second Lady Usha Vance all walked the red carpet Wednesday night at the Kennedy Center. They were there for a fundraiser for the performing arts venue, but also to catch a performance of “Les Misérables.” Understudies may have performed in some roles Wednesday night because of boycotts by “Les Misérables” cast members. When asked about the possible boycott, Trump told reporters, “I couldn’t care less. All I do is run the country well,” he said. “People are happy, people are wealthy, the country is getting back to strength, and that’s what I care about.” The President called Les Misérables “fantastic,” adding, “We’ve seen it a number of times… I thought it was just about our first choice. We have others coming, great ones are coming.”
