Kennedy Center Awards Ratings Drop Under Trump

The 2025 Kennedy Center Honors, hosted by President Donald Trump, had the lowest viewership ever, with only 3.01 million people watching.

This was a big drop from last year's 4.1 million viewers.

The event honored famous people like Sylvester Stallone and Gloria Gaynor.

Trump has been very involved with the Kennedy Center, even changing its name to the Trump-Kennedy Center.

Some artists canceled their shows to protest this change.

Trump joked on social media that if people liked his hosting, he might quit being president to host full-time.

The center's new leader said the artists boycotting are being unreasonable.
