The useless philistine frump has been reduced to the usual ridiculous tactics - threatening counter-productive lawsuits against anyone who has
the balls to oppose his pathetic attempts to immortalise himself...
once frump is out of office, all the monuments to his pathological vanity and wannabe megalomania will be torn down, including the probable eyesore white house ballroom and napoleonic "victory" arch celebrating all the recent wars the rogue state has lost in recent years
The president of the Kennedy Center has demanded $1m in damages and fiercely criticized a musician’s sudden decision to cancel a Christmas Eve performance at the venue days after the White House announced that Donald Trump’s name would be added to the facility.
“Your decision to withdraw at the last moment – explicitly in response to the Center’s recent renaming, which honors President Trump’s extraordinary efforts to save this national treasure – is classic intolerance and very costly to a non-profit Arts institution,” the venue’s president, Richard Grenell, wrote in a letter to musician Chuck Redd that was shared with the Associated Press.
In the letter, Grenell said he would seek $1m in damages “for this political stunt”.

in comparison with his absurd claims of popularity. patrons have been leaving in droves
The Washington National Opera (WNO) is considering moving out of the Kennedy Center, the company’s home since the US’s national performing arts center opened in 1971.
The possibility has been forced on the company as a result of the “takeover” of the center by Donald Trump, according to WNO’s artistic director, Francesca Zambello. The president declared himself chair of the institution in February, sacking and replacing its board and leadership.
Leaving the Kennedy Center is a possible scenario after a collapse in box office revenue and “shattered” donor confidence in the wake of Trump’s takeover, said Zambello.
“It is our desire to perform in our home at the Kennedy Center,” she said. “But if we cannot raise enough money, or sell enough tickets in there, we have to consider other options.
“The two things that support a company financially, because of the takeover, have been severely compromised,” she said.
Ticket sales were about 40% unsold compared with before Trump declared himself chair, said Zambello. Many have decided to boycott the center. Every day she receives messages of protest from formerly loyal members of the audience, she says.
