Trump-Kennedy Center - has a ring to it, doesn't it?

Well it may very well be that The Trump-Kennedy Center does not really need repair or referbishing.

I am thinking that President Trump intends to make "permanent" or otherwise enduring mods that will, in future years, bring his presidency to mind whenever the left leaning media reports from there.

It may always be called just The Kennedy Center, but the changes to the building will always be referred to as Trump's.

Worth 5 minutes of your time to read....info on how well (or not) this self-inflicted crisis was planned (or not planned) by Trump...

OTOH, maybe the closure will stanch the "massive deficits" of some $100 million dollars Trump claims.

How wonderfully convenient! Serendipitous, even.

I'm sure this had NOTHING to do with the fact that few artists worth a damn want anything to do with the place right now. Alla them cancellations was leading to some pretty embarrassing press....

Now, I have dabbled in the art world as an artist; created and sold some work. Was selected as an artist-in-residence to a national park one summer even . . . . and that set of experiences cemented my view of much or the artist community. Turns out, I am not one of them, not an "artist" (with a flourish). Not by temperament or attitude or political orientation.

One set of receipts, for example, shows almost $11,000 being billed to the center for meals that included three bottles of $175 Veuve Clicquot, shrimp cocktails and racks of lamb, plus Hendricks and negronis thrown in for good measure.
