US President Hosts Kennedy Center Honorees, Teases Hosting Skills
In a ceremony held at the Oval Office on Saturday evening, US President Donald Trump hosted this year's class of 2025 Kennedy Center honorees. The recipients included country music singer George Strait, actor-singer Michael Crawford, actor Sylvester "Sly" Stallone, and members of the rock band Kiss.
Trump described the event as a 'great honor' and praised the honorees as having inspired millions of Americans with their work. He also took this opportunity to showcase his own hosting skills, saying he was confident that the honoree would give him positive reviews, drawing a comparison to late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel, whom Trump jokingly referred to as 'horrible'.
