[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Republicans tacked Reagan’s last name onto an airport that was already named after a president. Now they want to strip a president’s name from an opera house to slap a First Lady’s name on it. Interesting that they want to set the precedent of removing presidents’ names from things. In the future, the Trump name can be removed by Congress from anything to which it has been bestowed by Congress.[/quote]

As I understood it, only the Opera House in the Kennedy Center is proposed for renaming. That would mean that the Trump name and the Kennedy name would be associated with each other in the same arts focused space. I’m guessing his supporters think the association will somehow validate the Trumps.

This is a reminder that, a few wives ago, Trump was eager to be accepted by old New York Society — people who were on the Board of the Metropolitan Opera and the Metropolitan Museum.  It seems like he’s still scrabbling to prove that he’s accepted — even though neither he nor Melania have publicly supported the arts in any discernible way. This is in sharp contrast to the JFK and Jackie Kennedy —  who truly used the White House to celebrate art and artists, especially musicians.

As with the White House Rose Garden, and the Bonwit Teller building Art Deco friezes, destruction seems to be a Trump thing.

I just got a flash of The Gilded Age reading this!

I just googled what music does Melania like (Elton John, Miley Cyrus, Aerosmith) but she walked out at the convention to Beethoven
