US President Donald Trump presented the Kennedy Center Honors for the first time at the newly renamed Trump Kennedy Center. Earlier, he presented his people with a choice.
US President Donald Trump surprised his followers on Truth Social with an unusual question: “Do you want me to resign as President?” Trump asked this provocative question before the broadcast of the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony, where he was the host for the first time.
"Tell me what you think of my skills as 'Master of Ceremonies,'" Trump wrote on the Truth Social platform.
“If I'm really good, would you like me to resign from the presidency to make 'presenting' a full-time job?” he continued.
The president emphasized that he was presenting the event "at the request of the board and almost everyone else in America."
Trump's poll numbers speak volumes.
This year's honorees at the Kennedy Center include Sylvester Stallone, rock band KISS, George Strait and Gloria Gaynor.
CBS broadcast the ceremony, which was taped in December, marking Trump's first appearance at the annual cultural event in both of his presidencies. He had earlier renamed the Kennedy Center the "Trump-Kennedy Center," despite widespread criticism.
Trump's question about a career change comes at a time when his approval ratings are at an all-time low. Recent polls show that 6 in 10 Americans would answer "yes" to his question.
Trump's second term in the shadow of scandal
Trump's second term has been marked by controversy from day one. Critics accuse the administration of undermining democratic norms, particularly regarding the rule of law, press freedom, and institutional accountability.
The nationwide deportation campaign is described as an attack on basic constitutional rights, while Trump's erratic foreign policy weakens the United States' credibility on the world stage.
Trump has previously spoken about his hosting skills, declaring: "If I can't beat Jimmy Kimmel in terms of talent, then I shouldn't be president." The White House initially did not respond to questions about how the president intends to gauge the public's reaction to his possible departure from politics.
Is Trump facing resignation as president?
Many users commented on Trump's post, which he also shared on X. As of Wednesday afternoon (2:26 p.m.), the post had received more than 15,000 comments and had been shared over 17,000 times. Along with Trump's followers, who welcomed both the renaming of the Kennedy Center and Trump's role as moderator in the comments section, there was also strong criticism.
The account "Republicans Against Trump" commented: "At the request of almost everyone in America, we ask you to resign as president so that America can become sane, prosperous, and respected again."
Former Senator Nina Turner wrote: “You can resign at any time, Mr. President.” Referring to the release of the heavily redacted Epstein files, one user asked: “Will the broadcast be censored too?”
Even among Trump voters, critical voices are rising: “Can you announce something for the American citizens who voted for you and support you… something like no more income taxes… No more property taxes… you know, something for us, the people, to be happy?” asks someone else.
