Officials at the Kennedy Center warn it faces “certain fiscal collapse” within weeks unless Donald Trump’s name is added back to the building, according to documents obtained by The New York Times and The Washington Post.
The warning appears in a draft resolution circulated to the performing arts center’s board of trustees ahead of a special meeting Tuesday, the outlets reported. The center says it could be unable to make payroll or pay routine maintenance contracts within weeks and risks bankruptcy, according to the documents.
Trump has offered to raise the money needed to keep it afloat – but only with “appropriate recognition” of his role, without which he is unlikely to lead the rescue or oversee a planned renovation, the resolution says, according to the two outlets.
Let’s see: they put his name on it and it immediately started hemorrhaging donors. Maybe that’s why they don’t have money, hmm?
(And count me among the people who don’t believe they ever took his name off—I don’t think they ever took the tarps down so anyone could see.)
That’s a fucking lie.
It’s a stupid lie. Not even a good one.
Trump cares more about getting his name on a building that’s already named for someone else than he does about any of the campaign promises he made to the idiots who voted for him.
Trump’s narcissistic meddling did this to the Kennedy Center. Let it die, we can always re-open it at a later time or build a new one.
Pathetic. Board should be fired.
Preparatory to imprisonment.
When Trump tried to put his name on it before, we learned a lot about the board and its process. Basically how Trump stacked the board, and that the only reason that the name change resolution passed “unanimously” was that they didn’t allow everybody to vote on it. Republicans sure do love their voter suppression.
So the problem is that if you fire the board, Trump will simply find other sycophants to put on the board, and you’ll be getting rid of all dissent.
Prove it.
Considering the track record of buildings with his name on them and bankruptcy, putting his name back will have the opposite effect.
He kills everything. He is poison in every way. He killed the Center’s income by taking it over and adding his name, and now his lickspittles on the board are saying they won’t go bankrupt only if his name is put back.
He is seriously the worst person in the world: no one else is such a combination of stupidity and power-tantrums.
He’s a fucking parasite
Was it this insanely incompetent in nazi Germany? Did people just make up ridiculous, obvious lies all day every day and fail at the most basic aspects of governance? I really wonder.
The best of the best aren’t willing to do this kind of work.
Not even the competent-if-unremarkable, it seems.
Well, shit.
Everything donnie touches turns to shit.
Haha, no. So many artists have canceled shows there when the pedophiles name was illegally added to the building. This is the biggest crock of shit lie coming from the pedophile loyalists that were installed there.
This issue falls quite low on the list of current National emergencies. Shut it down until after the midterms.
In a few weeks, we’ll find that the Kennedy Center has been sold in a “bankruptcy” sale at below-market price to real estate developer John Barron…
Oh well, shut it down till January.
Unfortunately, we know from experience that he’ll happily bulldoze things and just tell everybody he has the right to do it.
the toxic diaper-clad blemish on the world continues to wreak its malevolence wherever it lands its attention
