The renaming of the Kennedy Center was the first in a frenzy by Trump to build monuments to himself. It was followed by the "Ball Room" at the white house, the "Arch De Trump", and the current attempt to create a new monetary denomination of $250 with Trump's face on it. Monuments are normally built by following generations in honor of someone, not by the one honoring himself. I just hope that Trump does not make our country's 250 anniversary celebration all about himself.

Trump is wanting to put his face on currency and you're hoping he doesn't make any part of the 250th about him? Did you not hear he's holding a rally as part of the celebrations leading up to the 250th? I'll be incredibly surprised is he doesn't say anything at that rally making the celebration about him in any way.

Can I be wrong? Sure. Since this is Trump we're talking about, I can also very much be right.

---

He's earned the right at this point to rename the place Donald John, District of Trumplandia and cover the entire place in gold leaf.

But at the very least he can put his name all over the 250th celebrations. If it were Biden or Kamala, it would be rainbow flags, drag queen story hours and apologies for all of our embarrassing history as the most terrible country to have ever existed responsible for the only instance of chattel slavery ever to have occurred in the world.

Judge on the case is married to peepaw's personal attorney (and counselor Eric Holder). It's a parody of a fair impartial jurist/legal decision, at best.

Whenever these things happen, it almost always turns out to be a radical partisan activist behind the robe.

Earned the right? How? Are we talking that he's done something along the lines of ending the Cold War, wining WWI, WWII, The Civil War, The Revolution?

What has he done that no other president has ever done, or could do, that's been so great that he should be able to do all mentioned?

And, you're right, if Biden or Kamala were president, it would be woke AF(!), but at least they wouldn't brand ever thing they could with their names. I mean, it's something.

Lincoln's didn't end the civil war, he started it. FDR didn't end WWII, Truman a don turned out to be a very non consequential POTUS. Reagan gets points deducted for allowing the Iran issue to get a toe hold that has since lasted 47+ years.

So yea, IMO he's earned some rights.

I can respect your opinion. To me, not one of then in my lifetime has really done anything that couldn't be done by anyone else or undone by anyone else, save Reagan and the wall and cold war, and even then, looking back, those things were very likely to happen eventually anyway.

Still, at least we don't get a woke 250th.

I respect that and appreciate you respecting my take(s). You do a pretty good job at that.

She said that Trump had raised over $131 million in private and corporate donations; the president even convinced Congress to provide money for infrastructure needs that were desperately needed.

So, the Democrats can keep throwing fits, but Trump will keep tackling the issues and making things better.

This is how Trump was able to get the Kennedy Center Board to add Trumps name to the Center. Trump probably donated heavily himself. Generally when you donate lots of money you get some perks.

I think Trump should take the money back and at the same time condem and close the place before it collapses.

Then very loudly let the world know that the Kennedy Center lost the biggest contribution ever because the Dems/Libs have TDS.

Personally, I think that he should top that by then building a Trump Center for the Performing Arts nearby (yes, will require investment/real estate that is tough to come by) and via endowment/investments make it shame the pathetic decrepit Kennedy Center.

Preserving the facade of the Kennedy Center was a gesture of kindness, the next move could be epic.

Hey, life's too short to not.

Besides, gotta save the real feels for football season.

A lot of people just have no idea how decrepit this building is, imho.

Democrats are elated that the Kennedy Center isn't being renovated. They're actually in favor of keeping it a dangerous dump if it means owning Trump.

Stop and think about that.
They have mind cancer.

It's a facade waiting to collapse.

Reminds them of the hellscapes they created in their socialist cities.

Maybe Trump was right when he said it needed renovations.

TRO preventing repairs incoming.

Believe they had incidents with patrons being hit by falling debris during events and many of the common areas had limited access.

I always thought from the lanyards they hand out it was a gay bar so never been. At least not sober.

The Kennedy Center Board voted on Tuesday to shut down the center after a leftist judge barred President Trump’s name from the facade.

It's a two-fer, leftists boycotted the facility so revenues dropped a bunch to create a $24 million deficit this year, and Trump's not going to invest in it if his investment won't be recognized. Plus, the building is literally falling down.

If Dems cared about the place at all, they'd either (a) acknowledge his help, or (b) appropriate funds to fix up the place. But they clearly don't. An absolute case of TDS if ever one existed.

It's going to be dilapidated and vacant for years now. Most of America shouldn't really care of course, but I'm marginally sentimental just for personal reasons. Sad what Democrats do.

Open the doors and let the unhoused have a go at making it a functional space.

Congress should include a poison pill in the next bill to say no funding ever for Kennedy so if Dems ever happen to regain control, it still sits dilapidated.

But to be honest, by the time the shift power again that place will be solidly in the swamp.

They might as well close it. Nobody will perform there until Trump is out of office and his influence is gone.

It is being closed for safety reasons that have been well documented and represent a hazard to event attendees. Many areas were off limits due to the poor conditions.

Libs are preventing emergency repairs because they hate Trump and hate America.

So the building is closed.

Circa 96, I received advanced tickets from senator Kay Hutchinson office for access to /tours of the White House, the FBI bldg, the Capitol, and the Kennedy Center.

I had no desire to tour the Kennedy Center... seemed like a waste of time (still seems a waste of time 30 years later).

Anyway, does the Kennedy Center when operating make positive revenue? Just breaks even?

Or is it a money pit that only survives because congress dumps taxpayer money into it?

No, on average, it loses ~$100M per year. And did before Trump had anything to do with anything. And OBVIOUSLY these deferred maintenance issues are older than 2 years old. But common sense is lost.

Just another "Look what Trump broke" from our media.

Sort of. It's more or less designed to be a non-profit, and about 80%-85% of its funding comes from private sources (ticket sales, donations, endowments, etc.) with the balance funded by a federal appropriation.

The center puts out annual reports. They show a consist revenue line of around $250 Million in revenue and $45 million Federal Appropriations to maintain the place. Everything else was funneled out to maintain its non-profit status.

This was until recently where revenue has plunged through the floor because artists have cancelled en masse and almost every donor has stopped giving due to the political football nature of the place.

The $100 Million deficit is not on average but a the latest forecast due to all the changes to the place.

Congress should pass a law that it can only be named after Presidents who've been shot in the head.

I do tend to think that a POTUS who has survived multiple assassination attempts that resulted from the MSM / Hate Americans that paint Trump as an evil, vile person (including posters on this forum) gets to name things in DC after themselves.
