Impeachment with a Toby Keith chaser. What, exactly, is the National Medal of Arts?

Toby Keith performs during the “Make America Great Again! On Wednesday, while becoming the first American president to be impeached twice, Trump bestowed the National Medal of Arts to Toby Keith and Ricky Skaggs, among three others. They went to actor Jon Voight — a staunch and outspoken Trump supporter — as well as singer Alison Krauss, arts supporter Sharon Percy Rockefeller and the musicians of the U.S. military. This year, Trump reportedly chose two political supporters: Keith, who played at a Make America Great Again celebration at Lincoln Memorial in 2017, and Skaggs, who voiced support for Trump during the election. He also gave the award to Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Nick Ut; soprano Mary Costa; and former National Gallery of Art director Earl “Rusty” A. Powell III.
