Trump Receives Warm Welcome at Kennedy Center After Major Changes

President Donald Trump attended the opening night of 'Chicago' at the Kennedy Center, receiving applause and minimal boos.
The Kennedy Center has been renamed the 'Trump Kennedy Center' and is undergoing a $257 million renovation, leading to layoffs of 75 to 175 employees.
Trump replaced the center's president, Richard Grenell, with Matt Floca, amid slumping ticket sales and artist cancellations.
