sounds to me like: "Can't get performers. Gonna tear it down."

He’s going to demolish it. I guarantee it
RenaissanceFaireMan
He's just going to demolish the facade, don't worry.

He is intent on making the United States unrecognizable so that kids growing up in his version will never know of or treasure what 237 years of progress looked like. He is training future kids to associate the gold gilded look of Russia to something familiar - something that looks like "home" to them.
AsIWasSaying
Saving face. If it's being refurbished, lack of artists means nothing.

He's got a list of monuments that he's wanting to leave his mark all over, in DC. The Kennedy Center is one of them. This is his excuse to fully remove the Kennedy name from it and rebrand it as the Trump Center. Wasn't enough for him to just plaster his name up alongside Kennedy, he's got to be the only one up there.

They forgot to censor the Neckgina....

I'm surprised they did just give Kid Rock a 2 year residency.

They're gonna build more cells and a gas chamber.

Fine. Let President Kiddie Fucker work.

Hell he can afford it /s

if he does this will be the second high crime, in my opinion, that he will have carried out in destroying more government property. he treats these building as if they were his but they are not. they belong to the government which is only only a temporary representative of. and doing the worst job at it of any president, ever.
johnvilnis
Funny how President Biden had no problems letting people do shows at the Kennedy Center because he didn’t FAFO with it for his ego.
rubypilgrim
Next up, the Lincoln Memorial to be razed, and replaced with a 160 ft gold statue of Trump shitting on the Constitution
PirateArrrgument
He's shutting it down because after renaming it after himself, all bookings for the center in 2026 were canceled except for one. Donald Trump, being the infant he is, has decided that he will use this new measure as an excuse for why nobody is playing in 'his' center for the performing arts.

Can he fucking die already please

I look longingly at my champaign bottle every day.

I have a small Lego Brick Headz statue of Liberty im waiting to build. I hope we don't have to wait too long.
MisterFr
Can’t claim nobody is coming to the shows if we halt all the shows
Heelcat70
Yep, like saying people aren't dying from COVID because we don[t keep track of that.

“We’re getting high numbers because we test too much!”
WowThatUsernameIsSoOriginal
marble and gold, real or fake, everywhere. trumpian kitsch. with the added bonus of hiding the fact that no serious artist wants to perform there anymore, solely because of him.
PTK74
Everything out of marble. You know the perfect acoustic material. That sucker is gonna echo lmfo.
modis
Add my name to building. No one wants to perform there anymore. Plan to demolish building and pour millions of taxpayer’s money into an unnecessary rebuild because my pp is small and people not wanting to come to my building hurts my feelings.
“He’s a great businessman. He will get our economy back on track and stop wasteful spending.”
Fuck everyone who made him happen. Now we all have to watch a “great businessman” bankrupt the greatest economy ever seen like it’s one of his fucking casinos.
Donfolstar
Blame the venue, which was doing just fine for decades, for the sudden failure. Have a big going away event that people will actually attend to show what a brilliant showman you are. Shit pants. Close the venue, stiff the contractors, build a gaudy shithole that probably never even reopens. Blame somebody else for the whole thing.
shweatyPIE
Good timing , nobody were going to perform there anyway for next three years.

Stop blaming the Reaper, his job is just to collect souls, not decide which ones to take. Also, there has to be a soul, I guess.
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
Oh, fuck him.
3ifish
Wait, it will have all the style of a cheap bordello (no offence meant to cheap bordellos) before he is done.
CaldariBob
Cheap bordello are the foundation of the Trump family fortune!
AyatollahBahloni
What the actual tap-dancing fuck?
kwyjjibo
Everybody cancelled their performances there after he put his name on the building. Instead of scraping the barrel to try to find performers willing to go there, he's trying to save face and shut it down for "renovations".
iosa
My first thought reading the headline was that he's gonna tear it down and rebuild it from the ground up so he can remove Kennedy's name entirely.
RooGryphon
May as well at this point just remove everything
woozle
I fucking hate him.
whyisthisusernamealwaystaken
He legitimately needs to die.

CeoHuntingSeason
yeah yeah yeah thousands of post about him have this as top comment, can you try to be slightly more original, even if just a teeny tiny bit
gamejunki40006
Why don't you if you're so clever.
IGotMyDreamJobProgrammingGames
It's an imgur comment, dipshit. You really going to be pretentious about comments not being original enough?
TeenyTinyTubeyDratini
You’re acting like they upvoted their own comment to top by themselves. I mean, feel frustrated, fine, but don’t take out your emotions on other people.
CeoHuntingSeason
The "I fucking hate [name]" is being sensitive about me taking my emotions out, these ironies write themselves. Also most of the people posting this knows it gets them the top comment given how frequently it does, so yeah, I don't buy it for a second.
Eyeetsass
You’ve made up quite the scenario in your head. Maybe go for a walk.
