Donnie Dipshit wants to blow up a couple of nuclear warheads to make sure they are working, AND the military might be gearing up to bomb Venezuela? Let's hope Donnie doesn't hit on the idea of, you know, "efficiency."
Oh, for fuck's sake! He painted the fucking BRONZE columns WHITE?! You have to be fucking kidding me! And, by the way, the Sound of Music Sing-a-Long sells out the 17,500 seat Hollywood Bowl every year, but then the Bowl isn't run by fascists who want to cover the bandshell in marble.

Will the "new management" be selling "tRump Water", "tRump Steaks", "tRump ties", and "tRump Coins" in the lobby? And, will they also be hawking copies "The (tRump/Kennedy) ART of the Deal"?
I remember being on a doomed tour in the 90s, and the second, biggest leg was going to end at the Kennedy Center. It became this beacon of hope for us, pulling 18-19 hour days and sleeping on a bus between load-ins; "if we can just make it to the Kennedy Center!"
We ultimately did, and sold it to about 70%, and the audience was fabulous and everything was hunky-dory and venue management waived their 20% commission on our merch because they heard we were in so much financial trouble.
Stories like this are a little triggering. But I don't blame yr Wonkettes.
The Kennedy Center used to echo with violins. Now it sounds like a mall food court waiting for Kid Rock to headline. You can almost hear Lincoln whisper, “I sat through Our American Cousin for this?”
Art doesn’t survive under dictatorships of taste. It withers into décor. Trump’s remodel isn’t revival; it’s embalming with marble and self-regard. You can polish the columns until they gleam like heaven, but if the stage reeks of grievance and gold leaf, no one’s buying a ticket.

Well, maybe they can do things to appeal to MAGAts, like stage adaptations of "Birth of a Nation", "The Turner Diaries", or "Mein Kampf".

Trump: There's the right way, the wrong way, and the TRUMP WAY!!
Reporter: Isn't that just the wrong way?
Trump: Yes!! But FASTER!!!
Fuck Ted Cruz.

Donnie will be scheming to use taxpayer dollars to do it.
They did that during his last term for whichever of the failsons wrote the "book"
Gee, it's almost as though the crowd that worships the king of tacky had no taste.
Branson, MO-level "entertainment"!!1!

I think of it as the Robert F Kennedy Jr Center. It's a shadow of the Kennedies of the past.

I grew up in DC, and everything he does there is triggering for me.
So I guess kid rock, Ted Nugent and Lee greenwood aren’t the draws they used to be?
Looking forward to Lara Trump's residency in the Opera House.
Return the Rose Garden to it's original splendor.
Rebuilt the East Wing
Tear down that bloated whale of a ballroom
Tear down Trump's copy of the Arch de Triumphe.
And now restore the Kennedy Center to it's original state.
The next presidient sure has a lot to do besides Defunding ICE.
and fix the Lincoln Bathroom
The demolition of all of Trump's architectural abortions will provide lots of jobs.
And including that new latrine, just think how much used marble is going to be available at rock-bottom prices.

The Sound of Music new Kennedy center version
“DO - a deer, a non-trans female deer because they aren’t real women
RE - a drop of golden sun, that isn’t a reliable power source
MI - a name, I call myself, who is the only person that matters
FA - a long long way to run, like in 2028 and 2032 and 2036
SO - a needle pulling thread, by slave wage children to make my silk tie
LA - a note to follow SO, because fuck you it’s just next
TI - a drink with jam and bread, that people who rely on SNAP can’t get and don’t deserve
That will bring us back to do
Doh!”
