KISS bandmembers Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons once called President Donald Trump "abhorrent" and "out for himself." Now, the legendary rock band is being honored by him at the Kennedy Center.

Trump, who will be the first president to host the awards show, announced this year's honorees on Wednesday (Aug. 13).

President Donald Trump announced George Strait, Sylvester Stallone and KISS among the first batch of Kennedy Center Honors nominees in his new role as chairman.
