President Donald Trump posted a string of anti-Kennedy family statements just hours after the death of President John F. Kennedy\u2019s granddaughter<\/a> Tatiana Schlossberg.<\/p>\n

Trump, 79, started his Truth Social spree on Tuesday afternoon, after the Kennedy family announced<\/a> the 35-year-old environmental journalist and author had succumbed to cancer.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe will always be in our hearts,\u201d her mourning family said in a statement Tuesday morning announcing Schlossberg\u2019s passing. Maria Shriver, Schlossberg\u2019s first cousin once removed, posted a lengthy tribute<\/a> on X that read, \u201cTatiana was the light, the humor, the joy. She was smart, wicked smart, as they say, and sassy.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, while the Kennedy family was grieving their latest tragic loss of life, Trump decided Tuesday was the perfect time to share nearly two-week-old news stories and social media posts that called out their famous clan.<\/p>\n

The president seemed to be reacting to a slew of artists canceling their shows<\/a> at the newly rebranded \u201cThe Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts\u201d in protest of the unofficial name change.<\/p>\n

Following President Kennedy\u2019s assassination in 1963, Congress decided to designate the still-unbuilt National Cultural Center in Washington as a living memorial to the slain U.S. leader, recognizing his devotion to the advancement of the performing arts. The center opened in 1971.<\/p>\n

Trump began by randomly reposting news articles, first published on Dec. 18 in MAGA-friendly outlets including Newsmax, Fox News, and Breitbart, that covered the addition of Trump\u2019s name to the historic building.<\/p>\n

Trump then shared a string of congratulatory posts, also from Dec. 18, including one from Richard Grennell\u2014whom Trump personally appointed president of the Kennedy Center and who fawned on X<\/a> weeks ago that \u201cThe Trump Kennedy Center shows a bipartisan commitment to the Arts.\u201d<\/p>\n

The president also shared more gushing praise, again originally posted before Christmas, from MAGA figures such as Sen. Lindsey Graham, as part of his Tuesday afternoon onslaught.<\/p>\n

He also shared the Trump War Room account\u2019s photo from earlier in December with Trump\u2019s name in enormous font compared to \u201cKennedy Center.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump was not done, however. He then began reposting collages of weeks-old anti-Kennedy content, sourced from X when the backlash to the name change was fresh.<\/p>\n

That included a post from far-right author Raheem Kassam, who claimed the Kennedy family had \u201cLONG neglected\u201d the Kennedy Center.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey don\u2019t raise money for it,\u201d he posted<\/a> on Dec. 18. \u201cThey never show up. And the only Kennedy who has been there recently is a member of Trump\u2019s cabinet.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for comment.<\/p>\n

Trump hosted this month\u2019s Kennedy Center Honors, inducting faded stars including KISS, George Strait, and Gloria Gaynor. The CBS broadcast<\/a> tanked in the ratings, scoring the award ceremony\u2019s smallest-ever audience.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Schlossberg, who died from acute myeloid leukemia, was the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg. She is survived by her husband, George Moran, and their 1-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son.<\/p>\n

The latest artist to cancel their performance<\/a> at the Kennedy Center has justified their decision by calling out the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

Tenor saxophonist Billy Harper, a member of the jazz septet The Cookers, wrote about his feelings regarding the ensemble\u2019s decision to cancel their scheduled New Year\u2019s Eve performances at the historic performing arts center, which now features Trump\u2019s name on the outside.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would never even consider performing in a venue bearing a name (and being controlled by the kind of board) that represents overt racism and deliberate destruction of African American music and culture,\u201d Harper said<\/a> on Facebook Saturday, responding to a comment on a post from Jazz Stage.<\/p>\n

However, Grenell claimed<\/a> on Tuesday that some artists booked to play at the venue are being encouraged by media outlets to boycott the performing arts center.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Grenell insisted those acts canceling shows \u201cwere booked by the previous far left leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir actions prove that the previous team was more concerned about booking far-left political activists rather than artists willing to perform for everyone regardless of their political beliefs,\u201d he wrote<\/a>. \u201cThe arts are for everyone and the left is mad about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
