Trumps Face Divided Reactions at D.C. Events

First Lady Melania Trump drew attention at the 2025 Congressional Picnic for her fashion choices and her role in organizing the event, where she and President Trump promoted the bipartisan 'Take It Down Act' targeting revenge porn. Shortly after, the Trumps attended the opening night of 'Les Misérables' at the Kennedy Center, where their arrival received mixed reactions from a divided audience. MAGA supporters attempted to counter boos with chants of 'USA,' while drag queens present at the event were warmly received, in contrast to Trump's earlier criticism of progressive performances at the venue. Trump's recent overhaul of Kennedy Center leadership was also a point of contention. Viral videos of the drag queens highlighted the cultural clash, and social media focused on the couple’s demeanor and the polarized response to their presence. The events underscore the ongoing scrutiny and divisive atmosphere surrounding the Trumps' influence on American cultural and political life.
