So, rather than watch the rest of the performers bow out of gigs, he's just going to close it down for construction? Can't wait to see what he does with the place. From WaPo:

"Trump plans to close Kennedy Center for about two years, starting in July. Under the proposal, the Kennedy Center could close on July 4, coinciding with America’s 250th anniversary."

“I have determined that The Trump Kennedy Center, if temporarily closed for Construction, Revitalization, and Complete Rebuilding, can be, without question, the finest Performing Arts Facility of its kind, anywhere in the World,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “In other words, if we don’t close, the quality of Construction will not be nearly as good, and the time to completion, because of interruptions with Audiences from the many Events using the Facility, will be much longer. The temporary closure will produce a much faster and higher quality result!”

@briankrebs Translation: He just can't live with the Kennedy name stuck to his own, can he? Rebuilding it would create a new building, which, in turn, would allow him to be free of the Kennedy legacy.

By the time he's done dismantling things, there will be no trace of any other party in America, or anything else but his dubious legacy. If this isn't a rallying cry, I don't know what is. America can't survive another year of this.

@briankrebs Other commenters might have already mentioned that the Center was renovated in 2019 for $250M. And that among other things #Trump wants marble armrests. #KennedyCenter

@briankrebs hopefully by then it could really be a DJT memorial performing arts center. I could imagine a lot of artists who have backed out of performing in the past year lining up to dance on his grave.

@briankrebs So is this the renovation of the Kennedy Center or building the brand new Trump Center? My guess is the new signage for the “Kennedy” part will get lost in shipping.

@briankrebs there was nothing wrong with the Kennedy Center until he named it after himself. Everything he touches turns to shit like his failed casinos.
