And now the Kennedy Center

“He is constantly trying to fill a void that cannot be filled. And the reason is actually pretty simple. My grandfather and my grandmother rendered Donald unloveable. The only thing - the thing he most desperately wants in his life - is to be loved, he never has been sufficiently, he never will be. So everything else - the money, the power, putting his name on everything - that is all in service to filling a black hole that is unfillable.”
- Clinical psychologist Mary Trump, the president’s niece

I've never seen someone fight/wrestle with death so hard. He is terrified, not knowing that death will be the first time he experiences actual peace.

He has to fave the fact that either there is nothing, which I am sure is terrifying for a useless narcissist, or face the fact that he’s going burn in hell for eternity.

Are people really that stupid that they think there have been no ongoing renovations/upkeep of the Kennedy Center since 1971? Approximately $40 million is spent annually for ongoing maintenance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy_Center#:~:text=Beginning%20in%202013%2C%20the%20center,just%20two%20days%20before%20opening.

I've been to the Kennedy Center several times over the past few years, most recently in January. Everything looked amazing. No crumbling facade, no out of order elevators or bathrooms.

People are crazy if they think the Kennedy Center was just sitting idle prior to Trump. All buildings undergo routine maintenance, and there were major renovations to the parking lot, concert hall, and opera house under Clinton and Bush, as well as a major expansion under Obama/Biden in 2014.

Ticket sales are down by almost 50%.

The programming seems pretty lame. Usually they have a big-name play once or twice per year. We've previously seen The Lion King, Rent, Book of Mormon, and Wicked there. There's nothing like that now.

I’m pleased to see that our president is focused on the issues that are most important to Americans.

WORST RATINGS EVER

Did CBS promote it? I don't recall seeing anything about it.
WAPO ran something the day after the event--but nothing like the attention they usually give to it.

Let's face it - The Kennedy Center has lost its lustre due to Trump's involvement. It's now failing, and is fast on a path to being unable to generate adequate revenue to sustain itself.

I definitely saw ads for this on CBS - it must have been during the NFL because I don’t watch anything else on there. That’s a lot of viewers.

Kennedy Center is filing a one-million-dollar lawsuit against Jazz artist, Chuck Redd, for cancelling his Xmas Eve concert after Trump slapped his name on the memorial building. As if they have a million dollars in damages. Very few was going to see Chuck this Christmas.

OADN. Any numbers on how many people actually attended the Kennedy Center awards in person. Usually it is a sold-out event. I know the broadcasting was dismal, but if the live performance was also lackluster, that should have been on notice that the broadcasting numbers were going to be low, right?

His contract is with the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. That venue no longer exists, so he is legally justified in cancelling.

Enough people attended to make it quite disgusting when Donald got a standing ovation for…something.
