U.S. President Donald Trump was greeted with a high-volume mix of boos and cheers on Wednesday as he took his seat for his first production at the Kennedy Center, the performing arts facility he has subjected to a conservative takeover.

"We wanted to support the artists and bring attention to the drag ban at the Kennedy Center by showing up and being gorgeous."

Trump's visit to the Kennedy Center with his wife, the vice president and the second lady is his first time attending a show at the iconic arts venue.
