WASHINGTON, D.C. — Karine Jean-Pierre, you’re fired!

President Donald Trump has removed more than a dozen board members from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, including former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and Democratic strategist Mike Donilon. The decision follows Trump’s pledge to reshape the institution’s leadership.

The dismissals included David Rubenstein, a longtime chairman and philanthropist, as well as several other Biden-era appointees, The New York Times reported. The Kennedy Center confirmed that board members had begun receiving termination notices, according to NPR.

The move is part of a broader effort by Trump to overhaul government boards and advisory panels. On Monday, he also dismissed members of advisory boards for the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard academies.

“Our Service Academies have been infiltrated by Woke Leftist Ideologues over the last four years,” Trump said.

Trump’s shake-up of key cultural and educational institutions signals a broader effort to reshape federal leadership under his administration.
