US President Donald Trump on Monday lambasted the former leadership of the Kennedy Center, saying the renowned Washington cultural institution's days of "rampant political propaganda" were over since he personally took the reins. 

"When I said, I'll do this, I hadn't been there," Trump told the new members of the center's board, who gathered at the White House.
