Toby Keith & Ricky Skaggs Receive National Medal Of Arts From President Trump

Music

President Trump has about a week until he leaves office, and he’s gonna spend it handing out medals to a couple of country music singers.

And the winners? Toby Keith and Ricky Skaggs.

According to the National Endowment for the Arts, the medal is given to artists who “are deserving of special recognition by reason of their outstanding contributions to the excellence, growth, support and availability of the arts in the United States.”

Keith performed at Trump’s inauguration in 2017 and Skaggs also voiced his support for the President prior to the 2016 election.

In 2019, Trump presented the National Medal of the Arts to Alison Krauss, actor Jon Voight, broadcasting executive Sharon Percy Rockefeller and the Musicians of the United States Military.

Of course, while the Trump was handing out the medals, the House was voting to impeach him for the second time during his presidency.
