Officials at the Kennedy Center warn it faces “certain fiscal collapse” within weeks unless Donald Trump’s name is added back to the building, according to documents obtained by The New York Times and The Washington Post.
The warning appears in a draft resolution circulated to the performing arts center’s board of trustees ahead of a special meeting Tuesday, the outlets reported. The center says it could be unable to make payroll or pay routine maintenance contracts within weeks and risks bankruptcy, according to the documents.
Trump has offered to raise the money needed to keep it afloat – but only with “appropriate recognition” of his role, without which he is unlikely to lead the rescue or oversee a planned renovation, the resolution says, according to the two outlets.
In a few weeks, we’ll find that the Kennedy Center has been sold in a “bankruptcy” sale at below-market price to real estate developer John Barron…
Oh well, shut it down till January.
Unfortunately, we know from experience that he’ll happily bulldoze things and just tell everybody he has the right to do it.
You mean trump’s hand-picked board?
I’m sure they wouldn’t burn it down just to get Our Dear Dicktater’s name back on the wall, would they?
Trump cares more about getting his name on a building that’s already named for someone else than he does about any of the campaign promises he made to the idiots who voted for him.
I mean delivering on campaign promises is hard. Changing the name on a building is something Trump has experience with.
Let it go defunct
Have a new group purchase it.
Make it a tribute to everything trump isn’t.
Name it the Dead Kennedy Center
Letting it die sounds callous, but it’s better than giving in.
Easy for me to say, but let her die then.
I believe that statement from the Trump appointed board as much as I believe in the statement “Tommy Tuberville can absolutely name the three branches of the US government.”
Tommy Tubs couldn’t name his family dog.
There are smarter goldfish in anaerobic ponds than Tommy Tuberville.
That’s easy: Offense, defense, special teams
It’s insane how childish that joke of a country has become, and everyone from the media to the democrats is just playing along.
He kills everything. He is poison in every way. He killed the Center’s income by taking it over and adding his name, and now his lickspittles on the board are saying they won’t go bankrupt only if his name is put back.
He is seriously the worst person in the world: no one else is such a combination of stupidity and power-tantrums.
He’s a fucking parasite
Bullshit. They had enough to try to engrave the pedos name on the building.
Utter bullshit. Trump dictates who does amd who doesn’t get funded now, with the cowardly GOP dominated Congress just sitting by.
Leave his name off. Wait for him to pass from McDonald OD. Kennedy Center donations pour in.
Manufactured failure is still the responsibility of the those in charge.
Was it this insanely incompetent in nazi Germany? Did people just make up ridiculous, obvious lies all day every day and fail at the most basic aspects of governance? I really wonder.
Well, shit.
