Officials at the Kennedy Center warn it faces “certain fiscal collapse” within weeks unless President Donald Trump’s name is added back to the building, according to documents obtained by The New York Times and The Washington Post.

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.

      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.
