[Trish makes all-American art!]
After announcing Wednesday that he would be the new chairman of the John F. Kennedy Center, President Donald Trump yesterday added the names of several other members to the Center’s Board of Trustees.
The list included second lady Usha Vance; Trump’s chief of staff Susie Wiles and her mother, Cheri Summerall; deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino; Allison Lutnick, the wife of the prospective Commerce Secretary; as well as Mindy Levine and Dana Blumberg, wives of the president of the New York Yankees and owner of the New England Patriots, as well as several others.
But the name that made us do a double-take was billionaire Trish Duggan, Scientology’s wealthiest donor.
We were just telling you on Tuesday about Trish being a director of the America First Policy Institute, a dark-money organization that Politico and the New York Times said had quietly become more important than the Heritage Foundation for helping to plan the strategy of the second Trump administration.
The AFPI’s tax records suggested that Duggan is tight with three of Trump’s cabinet picks (Linda McMahon at Education, Brooke Rollins at Agriculture, and Pam Bondi at Justice), and her selection to the Kennedy board only emphasizes just how close she is with the president after becoming, at $5 million, one of the biggest individual funders to his 2024 campaign.
