Did anyone see tonight's PBS Newshour interview with the Kennedy Center's Director, Richard Grenell?

What a fking jackass. He flat out stated that the Kennedy Center needed to appease corporate sponsors so that it would make money from its programming. In between he insulted the Newshour host and PBS.

He might try desperately to stick his name everywhere but he is shit.

Why would anyone go to Kennedy center now??

We could never afford the show. Tickets given to rich benefactors instead

Now the liberal rich , 90% of rich in DC, will not go either.

I actually think this is their deliberate way of killing it, this is on purpose to put it out of business. Trump is just trolling with the marble options and name change knowing it will accelerate the demise.

Bingo.

I’d like to think Trump isn’t smart enough to do this, but if this is his way to stick it to people who love the arts, it’s doubly sad

He has no use for the arts. No money in the arts for him. He never found a place in NYC society where the wealthy put up millions to support museums and get their names added to donor lists chiseled in marble. He got his name added to the KC by rigging the board in his favor, no money put up to fund the programming. He doesn’t give a hoot unless his fragile ego is at stake. His name will never be included with the Vandetbilts, Astors, Guggenheims, etc. He’s a slob and NY rejected him.

WaPo reports that Trump's team refused to allow a majority of the board to vote. Only his supporters were allowed to vote.

Why would we doubt that he did the same thing in his Presidential election?

I fear he'd like to tear it down and build a hotel on the real estate. He'd call it a public/private redevelopment.
