A financial resolution says President Trump has offered to “raise the necessary funds to keep the Center from bankruptcy" but says he is unlikely to lead a financial rescue without “appropriate recognition” of his role. https://wapo.st/4r97EJJ

If it fails or goes bankrupt, the Trump Kennedy Center will join Trump Steaks, Trump University, Trump Vodka, Trump Mortgage, Trump Shuttle, Trump Magazine, Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Plaza Casino, Trump Castle, The Plaza Hotel under Trump, Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts and Trump Entertainment Resorts

'... President Trump has offered to “raise the necessary funds to keep the Center from bankruptcy"..." AFAIK: Congress appropriates funds for the Center.

Two billionaires ran it in succession from 2004-2025. They paid for enormous upgrades and additions. It’s not that billionaires aren’t interested, it’s that a “billionaire” who has never once supported a single arts project of significance has installed himself as a despotic leader.

I don't know if you've noticed, but Congress isn't doing much of anything these days and the Trump admin has just sorta been doing whatever the hell it feels like because it knows Congress won't bother to stop him.

Trump is unlikely to lead a financial rescue without “appropriate recognition” of his role??? Trump is unlikely to lead a financial rescue if his role in this desecration IS recognized. Hopefully the courts will ask for independent, unbiased, professional assessments & act in accordance with them.

Blackmail from a conman. Bankruptcy might be the only solution to add to his long resume of ETTD, hopefully 100% picked up by credible people to raise the Kennedy Centre to its glory once US gets a credible and working Congress this November away from these repugnent republicans

Not an easy decision, but better that the Kennedy Center go bankrupt than allow Trump's ignomaneous name to go on it. Donors will likely step forward to save the Kennedy Center if they are assured that Trump's name won't be on it and that he won't have control over the Kennedy Center's operations.
