It must be quite comfy being the old gray lady. Reminding us one day, even magats deserve to be heard within it's musty old newspaper and the next, oh woe! Who will save the Kennedy Center from the hands of the orange-tinged traitor!

I'm sure Felon47 will make up the shortfall in funding. Maybe his fellow Billionaire Boys Club members will help out, also!

Hoping no one gives money or attends shows. There are plenty of other theaters in DC to enjoy.

What's a ticket for Kid Rock going for these days?

Branson, MO is looking to expand.

I’m sure the J-6 ‘choir’ and Lee Greenwood will perform for free - and then they’ll stiff the stagehands.

Well, he can just go back to the three richest dudes in the country who bankrolled his campaign. I'm sure they'd be cool continuing to have their pockets picked. Musk, Zuck and Zos.

It'll be closed in 3 months. You can only sell so many tickets for Hulk Hogan. Kennedy is rolling in his grave.
(BTW- this center is the kind of thing you do with your wealth- along with parks, libraries, hospitals, arts foundations...)

He cares not. Unless maybe he changes the name to the Tr*mp Center. He still wouldn’t find it, though. He’d find a way to con others into paying for it, find a way to grift -to line his own pockets. (I shouldn’t give him any ideas!)
