Trump Threatens Kennedy Center With Tacky Marble Makeover

Not content with completing his takeover of the Kennedy Center by slapping his own name on the building, President Donald Trump has revealed the next phase of his current redesign obsession.

The 79-year-old president hinted on Truth Social that the ’60s modernist building in Washington, D.C., would be getting the Mar-a-Lago special with a gold and marble interior refit, starting, of course, with the theater’s armrests.

“Potential Marble armrests for the seating at The Trump Kennedy Center. Unlike anything ever done or seen before!” Trump announced on Friday evening.

Accompanying images show the hard-stone armrest examples that Trump apparently wants to install in the chairs of the center’s three main theaters.

Mao wanted to erase and replace capitalism....the Mad King wants to erase and replace the liberal civil right progress this country has made and replace it with a christofascist utopia.

Trump, with his armrests, is just like Patrick Bateman obsessing over the fonts on business cards.

It's not Trump. All he cares about is bullshit vanity projects, his TV appearances, and fellating his ass kissing cronies.

So who is running the country? Fox? The Heritage Foundation? Koch Industries? Someone more horrifying?
