Trump Won’t Let Go of Wrecking the Kennedy Center Despite Judge’s Ruling, Doesn’t Understand He’s the Reason There Are No Bookings

Donald Trump is either clueless or stupid.

He doesn’t seem to realize the Kennedy Center is losing money and has no bookings BECAUSE of him.

Almost every act that was booked prior to his takeover canceled. Audiences wanted nothing to do with HIM and his new board. The negative publicity drove away customers.

And yet he continues to bloviate that he’s the “only one” who can save the famed cultural center when he’s done everything in his power to destroy it.

Trump is obsessed with the Kennedy Center. If only he were so intent on lowering gas and grocery prices, ending the war he started in Iran, or reuniting all the immigrant families he’s separated. Or opening the Epstein files.

But this, and building ballrooms and arches is all that occupies his docile mind.
