I'm not actually sure he is trying to crush it. Instead I think he wants the prestige of being top dog at a well respected institution - bc none of his companies were ever respectable.
He really does have disillusions about his own grandeur. Unfortunately, everything he touches, breaks.
The Kennedy Center is on prime real estate along the Potomac. Perhaps he is setting the stage for a new trump tower to replace what he describes as a rundown decrepit building. Not gold enough. Not enough bling.
He can try, but he can't crush our spirits and creativity! Art comes from the heart, invoking its own venues naturally. Let's keep making, sharing and showcasing! Let's collaborate, innovate, and captivate, tell stories, make music, magic, and beauty! Let's sing, dance, and be each other's audience!
PS trying to remake the Kennedy Center into some kind of "authoritarian project" is going to have very limited appeal. It is more a theatrical show on his part.
Good luck with that as most of the Arts is sponsored by private donors, including the Kennedy Center. The federal government has long contributed very little to the Arts and under Trump even less so.

It will fail. The conservatives always dislike the arts, anything creative. Mainly because it’s probably the most human thing that people do. It’s not about money it’s about creativity which we all crave in some form or another. It’s also a massive industry, yet again overlooked.
