The miserable optics of Trump at ‘Les Misérables’

President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and their wives are expected to attend Wednesday’s opening-night performance of “Les Misérables” at the Kennedy Center, a tone-deaf move that makes it abundantly clear Trump has no idea what the musical is really about.

“I love the songs, I love the play,” Trump told Fox News Digital last week. “I think it’s great.”

Set against a backdrop of revolution and rebellion, “Les Misérables” tells the sweeping story of ordinary people rising up against a corrupt regime.
