Trump has taken a special interest in the Kennedy Center since he returned to office last year. He replaced the center’s board with a handpicked set of members who named him chair and changed programming at the center, including removing Pride events.

Late last year, the board moved to rename the center to include Trump’s name. It was then affixed to the facade — before President John F. Kennedy’s name — a day later.

The renaming drew criticism from Kennedy family members and members of Congress. Rep. Joyce Beatty, D-Ohio, who is on the board as an ex officio member, sued the administration for changing the center’s name, claiming it was not a lawful move, as the center was established by legislation.

Since the renaming, a flurry of artists have canceled their appearances at the center, including the composer of the hit musical “Wicked,” Stephen Schwartz, who dropped out from hosting a gala for the Washington National Opera. The opera has since left the center, where it had performed since 1971.

Trump has frequently discussed remodeling the Kennedy Center, arguing that the theater was poorly maintained and in desperate need of repairs, some of which are already underway.

Trump’s first visit to the Kennedy Center this term was on March 17, where he participated in a board meeting and toured the facilities. Talking to reporters from the President’s Box, he said, “We are going to make a lot of changes, including the seats, the decor, pretty much everything. Needs a lot of work.”

In May, during a Kennedy Center Board dinner, he spoke about how he is “fixing everything” including the Kennedy Center.

“I don’t know what the hell they were doing, but they spent a lot of money, and it’s just not possible that they could have spent it so poorly. But we’re going to turn it around. That’s what I love doing,” Trump said at the time.

After announcing the 2025 Kennedy Center honorees, Trump took another tour of the Kennedy Center. White House aide Margo Martin posted a photo of Trump on the concert hall stage, with the caption, "President @realDonaldTrump tours the Kennedy Center to discuss renovations.”

During the Kennedy Center Honors in December, Trump said the money raised that night would go toward renovating the venue.

“You know, we raised a lot of money tonight, tremendous, record numbers of dollars, a lot of money," Trump said at the time.

It really did take just 1 year of fuckery for Trump to reduce literally one of the busiest performing arts centers in the entire US to a complete fucking shell of itself with almost all the acts canceled and ticket sales only previously achieved during a fucking pandemic.

And there are still retards who think he's a good businessman.

Trump decided to shit his name on something already successful to pretend he's sucessful, and threw a bitch fit when the thing stopped being successful because he was involved.
See: His whole life

>>1486164
Good and factual post

>>1486164
Trump is dumber that dogshit. He bullied his name onto a MEMORIAL building already named for the one who is memorialized.
If Trump thinks that diarrhea he placed on the Center is going to stand for one minute past noon on January 20th 2029, he's even more drugged-out and pedod-out than I thought. He probably thinks it will be there so that his memory will be "shared" along with JFK.
Literally fucking insane.

>>1486144
Everything Trump touches dies.

>>1486144
Oh, by the way, this is yet another example of Trump's bullshit costing hundreds of Americans jobs. There are no other major theater or performance locations in DC; most of the workers at the center are now out of a job for at least 2 years.

>>1486215
Some highly connected contractor is going to be overpaid to bulldoze it though. Probably use some H1B workers though.

More likely he'll just tear it to shreds and then the renovations will get stalled out until the end of his presidency.

>>1486267
I imagine there'll be a few token renovations but ultimately the real reason for them is because he doesn't want the embarrassment of having run the place into the ground during his presidency. Just have it be "temporarily closed" and reopen when he's gone so he can't be blamed for it going under.

He's says it's going to be "completely rebuilt", which means he's having it demolished.
Everything he touches is destroyed.

>>1486267
>he'll just tear it to shreds and then the renovations will get stalled out until the end of his presidency.

This is what he has chosen to do. He's the most evil man in the world.

>>1486277
Don't forget it's a memorial center, as passed by law of congress, so his forcing his name on it was already illegal.

>>1486286
Yeah I know. All he has to do is say he's God and then announce that no one may buy or sell anything without his mark of 666 and then he really will be the antichrist.

Trump famously imports all of his workers, because it lets him pay them less

>>1486288
I'm an atheist, but according to the bible the antichrist is an extremely charismatic figure that brings the entire world together under a new religion. Trump is not the antichrist, he is a fascist pants-shitting pedophile who most people that have actually interacted with cannot stand, he doesn't even have the support of half the country anymore.

>>1486288
>>1486299
trump is absolutely the anti christ if you follow the biblical quotes. Also the cult loyal only to him is a religion.

ahh yes the anti christ maybe if you weren't such insufferable pieces of crap you'd realize why people would rather have trump in office then you, but do go ahead and tell me how stalking suv owners and claiming everyone with one is part of ICE is perfectly acceptable behavior.
I hope ur the next renee

>>1486365
He is frequently identified by non-bible sources as the antichrist, yes. Like many things currently believed by hacks, it has very little to do with historical interpretations or the actual words on the pages.
