Speaking of road shows, Les Misérables just opened at The Kennedy Center.  Interviewed on the red carpet opening night, Donald Trump expressed his love for the show – although he displayed a shocking lack of knowledge of the plot.  When asked if he related more to Javert or Jean Valjean, he looked like someone asked him to multiply 3 times 9.  “Oh, that’s a tough one – the last part of that question.  That’s tough.  I think you better answer that one, honey – I dunno.”  Yes, he just tossed Melania under the bus.  Her response?  She just gave that perplexed look and shrug, as if to say, “My English is not so good-looking!”  Plus, she had earlier stated her favorite show is Phantom of the Opera (El Presidente is more partial to Cats).  Anyway, TACO and Melanie looked like Rhodes Scholars next to JD Vance, who posted the following: “About to see Les Misérables with POTUS at the Kennedy Center.  Me to Usha: so what’s this about?  A barber who kills people?  Usha: (hysterical laugher)”.  Oh, that wacky Second Family!

Both the Trumps and the Vances were upstaged by four other people in the audience – drag queens!  And the gals had prime orchestra seats (dare I say better than the president).  Those seats were provided by Qommittee – which is a nonprofit network of drag queens fighting hate and censorship.  Here’s a fun fact – the seats were donated by season ticket holders who wanted the drag queens there when Trump and Vance were in attendance.  The queens in question were Tara Hoot, Mari Con Carne, Ricky Rosé, and Vangenesis – who quipped when El Presidente arrived, “He’s wearing more makeup than me!”  They did have some concern about going in, but added, “I think we brightened the audience as much as we possibly could.  We had so many kind words and people come up to us tonight.  It was just so delightful.”  Happy Pride!
