    For people who don’t know, the Kennedy Center had a large team of people whose job it was to get enough donations to keep it running… IIRC something around 100 people, and under Trump’s direction, that team was more or less completely dismantled.

    The previous director of the Kennedy Center was a very rich man, I think a billionaire, who had personally donated millions to the Kennedy Center, and Trump got rid of him.

    Trump did everything he could to sabotage all existing sources of funding for the Kennedy Center.

    It’s hard to describe in words what a pathetic loser Trump is. He can’t stand to have somebody whose name is in any way elevated above his own. He’ll destroy any cultural institution and anybody else’s happiness just to get the tiniest bit of honor for himself.

      And now Trump owns a Kennedy so I guess he showed them not to look down on his tacky ass. I’m surprised he doesn’t dig up JFK and RFK and have them to tea in his precious ballroom. Another captive audience forced to listen to him ramble while Natalie giggles in the background.

      It must be done by performance art that includes horrendous odors and the kind of flashing lights that cause seizures.

        And every audience member must wear a cilice belt locked on to each thigh during the performance and for two additional days after.
