'Deborah Rutter served as president of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts for a decade. This month, she was fired. President Trump had replaced many board members with his own supporters. Then, on Wednesday, the new board elected Trump as the center's new chair.⁠ Rutter spoke to NPR in her first interview since her dismissal.'
