BREAKING: PETULANT! Trump's Kennedy Center board threatens to literally DEMOLISH the building if they can't slap his name on it.
If Donald Trump can't put his name on the Kennedy Center, apparently nobody will have a Kennedy Center at all.
In a stunning court filing Monday, prosecutors for the Trump-aligned board argued that a $250 million renovation project โ which just so happens to include Trump's name on the facade โ is now necessary for the building's very survival. Their filing warned that without it, "the center will deteriorate further into an unsafe, decrepit structure that will be required to be taken down," floating a replacement amphitheater as an alternative.
Let's be clear about what's actually happening here: this isn't a genuine structural crisis. It's a manufactured hostage situation. Trump's board has spent months trying to force his name onto a building Congress explicitly created to honor a murdered president, gotten blocked by federal courts twice, and is now essentially threatening to bulldoze the whole institution rather than accept "no" for an answer.
And the financial reality tells its own story. The Kennedy Center is now projected to fall $100 million short of its profit goals, missing its budget target by 70% and contributed revenue by 25%, a staggering $23 million deficit. This decline traces directly back to Trump's takeover and the name-change controversy โ meaning the very chaos Trump's board created is now being used as justification for even MORE drastic action, in a self-inflicted crisis dressed up as an emergency.
This saga has been ongoing for months. Multiple artists canceled performances in protest after Trump's board first tried to close the center back in May. Representative Joyce Beatty successfully sued to block it. Judge Christopher Cooper ruled the board's decision "ill-informed and seemingly preordained," forcing Trump's name off the building's facade โ though workers responded with pure pettiness, simply draping a massive tarp over the empty space rather than restoring it properly.
Now the board has voted AGAIN, this time proposing to shut the Kennedy Center down entirely for two years to remake it in Trump's image. Beatty is once again heading to federal court to stop it.
This is what happens when ego overrides institutional stewardship: a national cultural landmark, built to honor a fallen president, held hostage by a board more interested in vanity than preservation โ willing to threaten demolition rather than simply let go.
Please like and share if youโre as outraged by this as we are!
And just like that, the most damning Epstein files completely VANISHED from the media.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
Lets make this viral again ๐
Iโm happy to share this because I donโt care what side of the aisle you sit on, this is a fact.
Speaker Mike Johnson this is for you.
Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 50 years on every salary I received. From my first part time job until I retired. I always had a job.
The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it.
The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too.
It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
Congress took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking.
They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!
Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.
Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.
99% of people won't forward this to their timelinesโฆ..will you?
Please, for the sake of our country, repost this.
Trump: โWhen I see polls on the economy, I should have 150% approval, not 100%. This is the golden age of America.โ
(A recent CNN poll found just 23% of Americans say the economy is good, while 77% say itโs poor)
A fully masked ICE agent pepper sprayed a woman in New York yesterday merely for videotaping
He approached her. She was standing still. That guy needs jail time.
If this goes viral, the city will seek charges.
