Trump is shuttering the Kennedy Center for a MAGA makeover.
Nearly a year after hijacking the storied cultural institution, the 79-year-old president announced on Truth Social that he would “temporarily” close the center for “Construction, Revitalization, and Complete Rebuilding.”
Trump said the Kennedy Center would cease “Entertainment Operations” on July 4 for roughly two years.

1. W

Just you wait and see.

2. Not going to happen................

3. I thought it was satire when I read this. I guess he wants

to hide the fewer acts and attendees attending now that his name is on the center.

4. Can't book any entertainment. So he shuts it down and lies about it.

11. You read my mind (nt)

[bigtree]

5. it won't open again until he's gone

..and those fools don't know shit about 'entertainment' other than the clown show they've been perpetually putting on.

6. The only reason he wants to rebuild it

Is so he can claim it's mostly his now and take Kennedy's name off altogether.

7. "We're removing the bathrooms to let people shit in their seats"

10. He thinks this is "owning" us but he is quite wrong. KC is about the spirit not the building.

He is such a weird fuckwit

[Retrograde]

12. As always, I have to ask

where is the money coming from? Appropriated by Congress? Private donations? Charging performers for performing?

[Unrepentant Fenian]

13. Is that even legal?

[greatauntoftriplets]

14. OMG, he wants to tart the place up like he's done to the Oval Office.

It'll look like a Las Vegas venue. Ugh.

[Bread and Circuses]

15. This is a time when carpet bombing should be used to clean out the vermin

[waddirum]

16. He is going to demolish the building

Just like he demolished the East Wing of the White House. No permits. No asbestos remediation.

17. Asshole

18. Marble armrests! Gold leafed junk everywhere!

Marble walls, floors, ceilings! Gold lame drapes! Gold chandeliers! A big TRumpf over the proscenium!

He can't choke on a fishy sandwich quick enough.

21. "Can't book any entertainment. So he shuts it down and lies about it."

Exactly.

Trying to avoid the embarrassment of performers canceling shows and refusing to book.
