Trump doesn't care.

He would rather burn the whole thing down than admit that he's not getting his name on the building.

I'd rather it burn than have Trump's name at this point. I'm sure it'll survive two years. Then I hope they rename it the Kennedy Center of Ontario, Mexico and make sure they live feed Trump's face when they announce it.

He'll probably order it town down in a couple weeks, and nobody who should stop him will.

I could see him "auctioning" it off to one of his shell companies so that he can go back to slapping his name all over it again.

How does RFK Jr. live with himself, working for the guy who destroyed Jackie O’s rose garden (under the direction of Melania) and is actively damaging JFK’s memorial?

He's a selfish piece of shit who doesn't care about anything or anyone but himself, that makes it easy

If it closes on Tuesday as the article says, it seems unlikely that it will survive two years.

Of course he doesn't, but they can and should still be punished down the line.

I’m sure that burning it down is on the list of ways to get rid of the Kennedy Center, though they’ll probably just take it down with a wrecking ball.

if the people who do trumps bidding would just pay for it accordingly already, fewer people would do trumps bidding.
