Kennedy family members slam move to rename Kennedy Center

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5655708-kennedy-family-opposes-trump-kennedy-center/

“The Kennedy Center is a living memorial to a fallen president and named for President Kennedy by federal law,” the former congressman said. “It can no sooner be renamed than can someone rename the Lincoln Memorial, no matter what anyone says.”

Kerry Kennedy— the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy, who was assassinated as a presidential candidate — came out against the decision, accusing Trump of “repressing” artistic expression, which is the core mission of the center. 

“President Trump and his administration have spent the past year repressing free expression, targeting artists, journalists, and comedians, and erasing the history of Americans whose contributions made our nation better and more just,” Kerry Kennedy, president of the Robert & Ethel Kennedy Human Rights Center, wrote in a post on X

“President Kennedy proudly stood for justice, peace, equality, dignity, diversity, and compassion for those who suffer,” she continued. “President Trump stands in opposition to these values, and his name should not be placed alongside President Kennedy’s.

Donald Trump will soon become the most powerful man in the world, but that won’t cow the maker of "Trump Toilets" into giving up his trademark.

We cant wait for the Treasury to start making the Trump $1 coins in 2026.

Seriously, this is scheduled to happen.

the biggest currency ever printed in the US  was $100,000 bill.

They should print a new $1,000,000 bill with Trump’s name/picture on it…….since many of his friends and family will be the ones that can afford them !

From battleships to buildings: Trump's name is everywhere

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/battleships-buildings-trumps-name-is-everywhere-2025-12-31/

  • Summary
  • Trump naming buildings and government programs after himself unusual
  • Kennedy Center, new class of warship, included in naming blitz
  • Critics worry populist move creates impression Trump, not the state, is the provider of government services
  • As a businessman Trump named buildings and products after himself for decades

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Calling this unusual is a galactic understatement. This is clearly the work of a deranged, self serving,  obsessed narcissist who is blatantly abusing his power more and more as his dementia rapidly progresses.

Smithsonian swaps Trump portrait and removes mention of impeachments

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/11/smithsonian-swaps-trump-portrait

The National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC has removed a placard that referred to Donald Trump’s two impeachments and his supporters’ January 6 attack on the US Capitol, according to multiple news reports.

The text removal appears to be the latest example of the president trying to exert control over the Smithsonian and change how the public remembers the Capitol riot.

 Kennedy Center to close for 2 years for renovations in July, Trump says, after performers’ backlash

The announcement follows a wave of cancellations since the president ousted the previous leadership and added his name to the arts venue.

What a  dishonest and diabolical man, Donald Trump is.

He takes control of the Kennedy Center, which was built and named to honor President Kennedy after he was assassinated. 

Donald Trump fires the entire board of directors and replaces them with his hand picked board (with him as chairman) to name the Kennedy Center after Donald Trump.

The outrage was enormous as dozens of acts cancelled, threatening a disaster.

In response to that huge embarrassment to Donald Trump, numerous acts bailing and ticket sales collapsing..... he surprises everybody and announces the Kennedy Center will close for 2 years so that Donald Trump doesn't have to experience additional embarrassment from the losses that Donald Trump caused to the Kennedy Center.

The profound irony here is of Donald Trump  visually displaying what his actual impact is on people and things that he takes or influences with his abusive power!

What Donald Trump is depicting in HIS video is the perfect analogy of his actual impact on people. 

His latest casualty is the Kennedy Center!

Not from a jet but from his position in the White House where King Trump, the most powerful man in the world is making the world a worse place for so many people in it.

Here's who's canceled their Kennedy Center performances since Trump took over                                              

   


Here are some of the comments from the Kennedy Center:

Grenell wrote on X, "You just made it political and caved to the woke mob who wants you to perform for only Lefties."

   

"This mob pressuring you will never be happy until you only play for Democrats.

In a response emailed to NPR, the Kennedy Center's vice president for public relations, Roma Daravi, wrote: "We have no place for politics in the arts, and those calling for boycotts based on politics are making the wrong decision. We have not cancelled a single show. Leftist activists are pushing artists to cancel but the public wants artists to perform and create — not cancel under pressure from political insiders that benefit from creating division."

On Dec. 27, the Kennedy Center announced its plan to file a $1 million lawsuit against Redd. "Any artist canceling their show at the Trump Kennedy Center over political differences isn't courageous or principled—they are selfish, intolerant, and have failed to meet the basic duty of a public artist: to perform for all people," said Kennedy Center spokesperson Roma Daravi.

   

In a letter shared with NPR, Grenell condemned Redd: "Regrettably, your action surrenders to the sad bullying tactics employed by certain elements on the left, who have sought to intimidate artists into boycotting performances at our national cultural center."

Donald Trump took this wonderful place built in honor of our great President Kennedy who was assassinated in office,  with so many gifted entertainers planning to perform in 2026 and people benefiting and WRECKED IT.

Just like he's WRECKED so many other things the past year.

The profound audacity of what Donald Trump just did here is mind boggling.

After countless entertainers exercised their rights as Americans to protest against Donald Trump's delusional abuse of power and using America for his personal, self enriching schemes,  naming the Kennedy Center after him instead of being dedicated to President John Kennedy after this great president was assassinated, then the Donald Trump sycophants, initially condemned the entertainers for exercising their business and First Amendment rights because they claimed it hurt the people who go to see the Arts and Entertainment being offered at the Kennedy Center.

So what does Donald Trump do?

He completely shuts the place down for 2 years, thru half of 2028, the final year of Donald Trump's 2nd term which he will NEVER finish. 

The Kennedy Center has flourished for many decades.

Now, entirely because of Donald Trump it's going completely dead for at least 2 years!

Before this decision, there had been no discussion about shutting it down for repairs.  This decision was entirely made to avoid the huge embarrassment and consequences of another Donald Trump horrible decision. 

It's likely, that he will now completely twist the facts and brag about how he's making the Trump-Kennedy Center the greatest there ever was and this is why he shut it down. 

Watch to see this happen. Donald Trump's delusional, destructive behavior has become predictable. 

My prediction is that Donald Trump will not make it thru his 2nd term.  Extremely high confidence.

A series of contracts and receipts obtained by the EPW showed the Kennedy Center providing venue rentals to allies at a deep discount; spending almost $40,000 on luxury hotel rooms, lavish meals, and entertainment for friends over a period of three months; and providing work contracts to friends that were seemingly unrelated to Kennedy Center business.

The most notable example, which was also reported by the Washington Post, was the Center letting FIFA use its entire space for three weeks at no charge—at a loss of over $5 million to the Center.

Make no mistake that this was entirely Donald Trump's impact. Every single decision he has made caused the situation to get worse and worse for the Kennedy Center.  This is how Donald Trump always acts. When he makes a bad decision that is doing damage in that realm, he ramps up his lies and rhetoric, bragging about how his actions caused the faltering realm to be the greatest in history. Then he repeats it over and over while doubling down on the damaging decisions to make them even worse as he lies about how it's making that realm even better.

This blatant, out in the open for everybody to see example of the Kennedy Center is exactly how Donald Trump leads in every realm.

He was already a self absorbed psychopath  but now the unbridled power, along with his CRYSTAL CLEAR progressive dementia is causing him to morph into an increasingly dangerous man. 

And it's only been 1 year!!!!

The most profoundly concerning question that we should all be the most worried about is what will Donald Trump do when he sees the end of his 2nd term coming prematurely?

The potentially bad outcomes are unlimited if  increasingly desperate Donald Trump is given X months in office before he's removed.

We see a perfect example of how he reacts to protesting to his renaming the Kennedy Center.

HE SHUTS IT DOWN to protect Donald Trump from being embarrassed(facing accountability).

Make no mistake, when Donald Trump is removed, he WILL do everything in his power to punish/destroy the United States, just like he just did to the Kennedy Center. If he can't finish his 2nd term, Donald Trump will try to destroy the United States. As the most powerful man in the world that is already ruining our relationships and reputation, he clearly is  already unable to see clearly and act in the best interest of the United States. 

Mark my words, this is no President Nixon, who had a great amount of integrity and honor and wanted to do what's best for the United States when he resigned after getting busted and seeing the writing on the wall, then getting pardoned by President Ford.

Donald Trump is the most vengeful politician in history that only cares about Donald Trump. He is delusional with progressive dementia. In a drawn out removal process, with all his appointed sycophants (in every government agency) having pledged allegiance to Donald Trump and not the United States, the potential outcomes are scary because they would fight for Donald Trump.

After the D's start the investigation of Donald Trump IMMEDIATELY after they get control of Congress, what they find will make Watergate look like jay walking. Never mind the 2018 impeachment joke by the political Ds over a phone call. There are hundreds of much more serious offenses committed by Donald Trump in just his first year, many are legit reasons to impeach him.

Try to imagine what it will be like when that investigation is being done and the media is shouting it all from the rooftops.
