Trump's board at the Kennedy Centre:
- “They did a lot of day drinking,”
- “And a lot of what seemed like just, looting. They immediately cleared out every piece of art in the building, and no one knows where it went.”

#KennedyCenter hires rock promoter as top artistic executive. “Canny, who worked in Los Angeles for years, has a deep background in managing A-list musicians, including Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee, Creed frontman Scott Stapp and Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro, among others…’He’s a music agent,’ said a source.” Article goes on to say that he has no educational or professional experience in any arts discipline. https://www.cnn.com/2026/10/08/politics/exclusive-kennedy-center-to-tap-former-rock-band-manager-to-run-artistic-programming
This is about Donald Trump wanting his name on the #KennedyCenter
and other places where the Trump name does not belong:
You, @ianbremmer, wrote: "if president trump is interested in peace (and his nobel aspirations imply he still cares about it), president putin is the obstacle."
Trump cares most about pleasing Putin (to keep his title as #PutinsPuppet). I know this from Trump's many statements and decisions that favor Putin. Trump also cares about #corruption (that is, finding ways to enrich himself and his family) and about creating buildings in his honor (the #KennedyCenter, the ballroom, and the arch).
His name had to come off so he substituted a giant orange streak.
Part 2 of our Kennedy Center deep dive is live.
A federal judge has twice ruled Trump's name can't go on the building without Congress. Trump says without it, the Center could end up "ripped down." The Justice Department floated an amphitheater in its place. A Senate bill to protect memorials from demolition? One senator objected.

NAMING RIGHTS & WRONGS
For the first time ever, the Kennedy Center Honors will be held outside the Kennedy Center.
The building is DETERIORATING, but Trump said the renovation won't happen unless a court ruling on his name is overturned. He demands his name be on the wall.
Part 1 of our new two-part deep dive is out now. Part 2 drops Sunday.

NOTE: Considering all the music equipment being moved out of the Center having the honors go forward when the building is being torn down is going to be very interesting in it’s timing…

Steinway pianos were seen being moved out of Kennedy Center. Reporter Sarah K. Burris: “Steinway told me that they’re moving them all over to the Georgetown showroom where the owner is also selling his pianos at a high discount because he wants to retire. When I asked Steinway why the Kennedy Center would be selling all of their Steinways, she said, ‘Well, they’re closed.’” #KennedyCenter

It won't tell you about a certain #OurPutin's felonies. But it will tell you the Kennedy Center's off limits (until he rolls in tanks, of course).

If #Trump gave one shit about the #KennedyCenter as an arts institution, he wouldn't care about getting credit for "saving" it. That he insists he'll let it fall apart and then be demolished unless *his* name is plastered at the top of the sign, since only he can (or will be allowed to) raise the money demonstrates it's only stroking his colossal ego he's concerned with. To hell with him.

Drop by Drop Upon the Heart: On the Kennedy Center, the Kennedys’ Classics, and What a Nation Owes its Dead
On the afternoon of December 19, 2025, the board of the Kennedy Center voted to put a living president's name on a dead president's memorial. By evening, the letters were on the marble. A congresswoman who sits on that board by law tried to speak. They muted her microphone and called the vote unanimous. Chuck Redd, the jazz drummer who had played Christmas Eve at the center for years, saw the new name on the website, then on the building itself. He canceled within hours. Two years of this, in one afternoon: the inheritance retitled behind closed doors, the objection silenced, the musicians out in the cold.

‘President Donald Trump may get another chance to put his name on the Kennedy Center after the institution’s Trump-appointed leaders warned that it is on the brink of bankruptcy and that adding the president's moniker to the facade, thus ensuring his fundraising efforts, may be the only way to keep it afloat.’ Newsweek https://www.newsweek.com/kennedy-center-donald-trump-naming-list-12440396
Image if you will. You’re in the Twilight Zone, and Trump changes the Nobel Prize to the Trump prize for stable geniuses. All it costs is 1 billion $ coins and you get the great scientific honour of contributing to his derangement syndrome! His idea fails to stop it becoming a pandemic, so nearly everyone in his world suffers from it and his trillions of $ coins become worthless. The moral, the great Trump is forgotten, only his ashes are left to drift across a toxic hellscape of derangement. #KennedyCenter #TheTwilightZone #TrumpDerangementSyndrome
New York Times: How President Trump Broke the Kennedy Center. “The center’s first Trump-appointed director, Richard Grenell, pursued a plan, not previously reported, to replace works in the center’s art collection, including gifts from foreign nations honoring Kennedy, with art selected by Trump patrons. ‘You can definitely start sending stuff back to the countries who donated it now,’ Mr. […]
