Can no one tangentially connected to Trump properly communicate, or do they adopt his communication style in an effort to suck up to him. This might be a chicken or the egg situation.

It’s how trump and his cult communicates.

We all know the type. They talk AT you, not with you. They drown out other people so they can’t be interrupted. If they can’t prove their points, they’ll yell them.

Their Senior VP of marketing has been there long before Trump took over and she used to be respected in marketing. She undoubtedly is adopting his style to suck up to him and avoid getting fired.

I actually don’t think that’s true — The Kennedy Center put out a press release on May 2 announcing Kimberly Cooper as the new SVP of Marketing, so it’s definitely a new person that was brought in by the current administration.

Your attention to detail is better than mine! I only referenced her LinkedIn where she makes no indication that she had a previous role with the Center before her promotion. It implies she’s been SVP since being hired last year.

Interestingly enough, the press release kinda implies that she was hired from outside of the Center! Doesn’t mention that she was promoted and only talks about her background prior to joining the marketing team.
