    1. Since the POTUS now has a billion dollars from crypto, he should donated to the center and take high road.

      Eh……………who am I kidding?

    2. If he wants his name on it so badly just give them a lot of money. That’s what other rich people do when then want something named after them.

      You mean the guy that completely closed the venue for, reasons? Yeah, he’s the problem.

      you mean the trump board appointees to the Kennedy center are saying this….

      It takes some balls to publicly whine about not being able to sell out as much as you’d like to.

      I’m sure the center will now get more people attending events than the Trump250 Birthday festival in front of the Capitol.

      Boo fucking hoo, don’t plaster a felons name on an American institution

    8. Ok what’s not being discussed here is where they’re getting this number from. What’s not being talked about is, unlike every other single president since the death of Kennedy, Trump is refusing to fundraise for TKC unless his name is left on the building. No, Trumps name isn’t bringing in the big bucks, it’s just that this man child is having a temper tantrum because he’s being told no.

      I’ll give Trump this. He is very good at making outrageous claims, and then pretending like it is you on to disprove him, and not him to prove himself correct.

      Such utter BS! The KC board is full of sycophants who know nothing of the arts or how to raise money for the arts.

    11. lifeat24fps on

      His name has been on it for months now. Surely the place must be just flush with cash. Let’s see it.

    12. The Kennedy Center had some respect before Trump.

      Then it was *marked*.

      Then it was healed.

      But now it’s saying it *needs* the *marking*?

      Trump is a demon.

    13. Howhytzzerr on

      So maybe it should close for awhile until Trump is gone, then the board can be replaced and the donations will be returned when the respectability returns.

      >The filing says the bylaws of the Trump Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Foundation require donations be returned if Trump’s name is removed, and it claims some donors were only willing to donate because the center included Trump’s name.

      This has the most „Trust me, bro,“ energy I have seen in a long time given how many people were pulling out of the Center when Trump’s name was splattered across it.

      Lmao people stopped performing and showing up to the performances because his name was attached. Don’t tell me you didn’t lose that much with that happening

    16. Didn’t they already lost that much money with Trump’s name ON the building?

    17. Shot-Honeydew-306 on

      Sure, because attendance was up when Trump took over. Soo popular he had to close it for „repairs.“

    18. TemperatureMany6450 on

      The reason way they needed so much in donations is because that dipshit put his name on it. Now that is name is gone, performers might start to come back with bigger crowds.

    19. He’s just mad because he’s lost a grifting money laundering scheme.

      And, the „donations“ already made have been swiftly deposited off shore.

    20. Baystars2025 on

      Didn’t they cancel a season because people stopped showing up and donations were drying up?

    21. Arathorn-the-Wise on

      Nothing stops the donors from donating the money again. This is a pathetic attempt to try and keep Trump’s name on the building.

    22. computername10 on

      More stalling from these clowns. I hope the judge immediately tosses this BS and orders the **immediate** removal of trump’s shame tarp.

    23. TLDR: Trump is a baby whose ego can’t take a loss, his handpicked Kennedy Center board is doing his bidding now, and Bill Maher is still an asshole

    24. BenNitzevet on

      Of all the merely stupid things Trump does, this the most offensive. Truly truly shameful.

    25. FlexFanatic on

      Name drop those that want the money back because Trumps name is no longer on the building

    26. the7thdeadly on

      OMG whatever did they do for money before Trump? It’s just Trump’s MAGA donors who are big SAD and pulling their “donations,” which are usually in-kind (no ulterior motives or string attached) but nope these donations always had Political Caveats…

    27. WisebloodNYC on

      My bet is that Trump pocketed the money, and will have to personally give it back.

      What a swamp he’s created. What a fucking grifting piece of shit he is.

    28. gardengirl99 on

      Says the Kennedy Center board of directors that he hand picked? I’m sure they say all sorts of things.

    29. LocalInactivist on

      Didn’t they already lose hundreds of millions in donations when they put Trump’s name on it?

    30. Repulsive-Access-314 on

      If we want the Kennedy Center to work as it used to then we need to have the board changed back to non-MAGA. DJT had his lackies installed, they can just as easily be replaced with a legitimate government in place.

      Vote America not MAGA in the midterms.
