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.

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....

Pathetic. Board should be fired.

This issue falls quite low on the list of current National emergencies. Shut it down until after the midterms.

Oh well, shut it down till January.

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.)

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.

That's a fucking lie.

You mean trump’s hand-picked board?

I’m sure they wouldn’t burn it down just to get Our Dear Dicktater’s name back on the wall, would they?

"We're totes gonna go broke soon if you don't let us do the illegal thing that's the direct cause of us being broke!"

Man, republicans are so fucking stupid they think everyone is as dumb as they are.

Letting it die sounds callous, but it's better than giving in.

Let it go defunct

Have a new group purchase it.

Make it a tribute to everything trump isn't.

Name it the Dead Kennedy Center

I believe that statement from the Trump appointed board as much as I believe in the statement "Tommy Tuberville can absolutely name the three branches of the US government."

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.

Let it die then. Fuck Trump.

Bullshit. They had enough to try to engrave the pedos name on the building.

Leave his name off. Wait for him to pass from McDonald OD. Kennedy Center donations pour in.

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.

Utter bullshit. Trump dictates who does amd who doesn't get funded now, with the cowardly GOP dominated Congress just sitting by.

Manufactured failure is still the responsibility of the those in charge.

Considering the track record of buildings with his name on them and bankruptcy, putting his name back will have the opposite effect.

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.

You mean like the Trump Taj Mahal?

Well it is now run by Trump's hand pick cronies and all Trump knows how to do is bankrupt things. Sad but if I were an American I'd worry more about the fact that he is close to bankrupting the whole country.

Someone needs to start an open letter. Title it something like "what good is an arts center no one will perform at?" Say the undersigned will not perform at a facility, property, or building with Trump's name on it. Get thousands--everyone--every artist imaginable to sign it

It’s insane how childish that joke of a country has become, and everyone from the media to the democrats is just playing along.

Swear he's just a giant toddler throwing another tantrum because he isn't used to being told no.

Everything donnie touches turns to shit.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaahaahahahaahhhhhhhhhhhaaahaahhaah... (deeeeep breath) hahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahha ha!

You couldn’t make this shit up

I didn’t even know this shit hole existed before they fucked it up. Good. Bye!

the toxic diaper-clad blemish on the world continues to wreak its malevolence wherever it lands its attention

Prove it.

Then shut it down.

Unpopular opinion: Trump's name belongs next to Kennedy. They're both criminal dynasties with stolen wealth. I don't care if it ruins the opera for rich cunts.
