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.
Manufactured failure is still the responsibility of the those in charge.
Utter bullshit. Trump dictates who does amd who doesn’t get funded now, with the cowardly GOP dominated Congress just sitting by.
Then shut it down.
I didn’t even know this shit hole existed before they fucked it up. Good. Bye!
Fuck the Kennedy’s, too!
Haha, no. So many artists have canceled shows there when the pedophiles name was illegally added to the building. This is the biggest crock of shit lie coming from the pedophile loyalists that were installed there.
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…
Pathetic. Board should be fired.
When Trump tried to put his name on it before, we learned a lot about the board and its process. Basically how Trump stacked the board, and that the only reason that the name change resolution passed “unanimously” was that they didn’t allow everybody to vote on it. Republicans sure do love their voter suppression.
So the problem is that if you fire the board, Trump will simply find other sycophants to put on the board, and you’ll be getting rid of all dissent.
They’re all Trump cronies, they kicked the real board out :(
“We’ve tried nothing, and we’re all out of ideas.” Kennedy Center Board, I guess.
Preparatory to imprisonment.
This issue falls quite low on the list of current National emergencies. Shut it down until after the midterms.
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.
I’d rather it be bulldozed than have Trump’s name plastered all over it.
I’d rather a third option for once.
Hold on one second, we dont count higher then 2 in this country. Asking for a third option is a purity test this country cannot and will not tolerate. Somebody round up the libs and hand them their torches, they have work to do here.
That’s completely fair.
Ok, what
Option 1. Trump gets his name on the building.
Option 2. Trump destroys the building.
I mean, an easy third option would be that he fucks off and doesn’t touch it.
Me too and I’m not even a Kennedy fan
Let’s see: they put his name on it and it immediately started hemorrhaging donors. Maybe that’s why they don’t have money, hmm?
(And count me among the people who don’t believe they ever took his name off—I don’t think they ever took the tarps down so anyone could see.)
Donors and performers.
Trump’s narcissistic meddling did this to the Kennedy Center. Let it die, we can always re-open it at a later time or build a new one.
That’s a fucking lie.
It’s a stupid lie. Not even a good one.
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?
“We’re totes gonna go broke soon if you don’t let us do the illegal thing that’s the direct cause of us being broke!”
Man, republicans are so fucking stupid they think everyone is as dumb as they are.
In fairness, at least a third of the country is at least as dumb as they are. Sometimes, that’s enough!
Sometimes the smart(er) ones just dont do a damn thing (see 2024 sitouts)
The non voters were right all along. The democrat establishment is the controlled opposition. We knew they couldn’t beat the republicans with their unpopular candidates, and we ran them anyway, so who is (edit: in the wrong here. Less aggressive wording.)
See?
Lol
stfu
You mad?
I mean I’m tired of dealing with morons so I guess
they think
First of all, they don’t think much of anything.
What they do think is saying whatever seems to make the most sense to accomplish whatever goal they want right now is the right thing to say - right now. And later? Doesn’t matter. Whatever they think needs to be said then.
No consistency, no logic, no truth - they don’t care about any of that.
Saying this gives them the framework to have it echoed in their propaganda news outlets and helps them control the narrative as now the rest of us are playing defense against a stupid and worthless argument. We’re defending something they just said to throw a monkey wrench in things. Now we’re debating why the financial struggles instead of just saying “So… again… keep Trump’s name off that building.”
