OP
Trump put himself on the board, right? Then all the acts cancelled. A little pushback is nice.

It's not a Kennedy Center honor. The Profiles in Courage Award is out of Trump's control.

(41,410 posts)5. Not exactly. Jerome Powell is the Chairman of the Federal Reserve

The Federal Reserve is the organization that safeguards our money supply, and monitors inflation and other financial trends. Mr. Powell has served under Chump and Biden and his term is about to end. The guy that Chump nominated to replace Powell as Chairman is controversial because he's named in the Epstein files. Congress may not approve the replacement.

"The winners of the award are selected by a committee named by the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation, which includes members of the Kennedy family and other prominent Americans."--from Wikipedia
Certainly those who select the award winners look for someone who stands up to power, which these days is Trump. So how could this honor go to anyone but a Trump opponent? The very existence of such an award is kind of pushback against Trump.
