Since this was created by Congress, Congress when it gets back tomorrow, from it's latest vacation, can push through the funding to make it whole, and require the band of djt half wits to vacate the board!!!

Let it die. Make it clear who killed it. MAGA won't care, but it'll motivate everyone else. Resurrect it later, with the same bill that funds the degildification of the Oval Office, the dynamiting of the Arc de Trump, and the naming of every Superfund site after Herr Gropenfuhrer forever more.

Something weirdly not noted in a lot of the coverage of the extortionate threats to murder the Kennedy Center unless it’s reimagined as a shrine to Trump: There was no dire fiscal crisis until Trump’s goombahs started mucking with it. Its finances were fine. projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/o...

Can you imagine reporting this with a straight face and without the lead including that this is the latest in a series of wild and bizarre claims & threats? "It'll fall down if the pedo's name isn't on it" "We'll tear it down if the pedo's name isn't on it" "We'll close for years..." And now? LOL

Of course the Kennedy Center board says that - they all work for GRUMP and that's what he wants. HIS NAME will not help in reality. It may get billionaires to donate but that will just make it another grump project with gold leaf everywhere and his name - which will turn off more people than help

Let me get this straight, putting Trump's name on a building - his name - will save it from alleged bankruptcy. This mental administration and the Republican lapdogs in Congress have taken idiocy and made it an artform.

Oh wow. This didn't happen under any other president? Why wasn't Obama's name on it? Or Biden? Or Bush? Or Clinton? Or Reagan? Or Bush Sr? Or Carter? Or Johnson? Or Nixon?

Should this happen, the starting point will most certainly be Drumpf whose lack of commitment to the respect for those people and institutions that have come before him has been on full display, esp during this term.
