The Kennedy Center has issued a statement in response to Trump's deranged post about making himself the chairman. "There is nothing in the Center's statute that would prevent a new administration from replacing board members; however, this would be the first time such action has been taken."

I suppose its just a matter of time before the Kennedy Center starts hosting pro wrestling and boxing extravaganzas. Oh, and it provides our ever-leering leader a swanky new venue to get back in the Teen Pageant business, should those pesky democrats successfully thwart his amateur hour Sham Wow! '25 plans for world domination.

He will also install himself as the Easter Bunny to make the Resurrection Great Again.

What a truly shallow, nasty man Donald is.

#1 Don't be silly, everyone knows the Easter Bunny retired from being Biden's tour guide. It's on video.

The------------- is desperately trying to find his replacement as Putin's DNA receptacle.

Donald Trump is badly mentally ill.

The really interesting question is how sane the people are for cheering the mentally ill man on.

I suppose the reason he did that is because they never gave him an award? Now he can give himself one.

He can have it gilded and call it the Wump Center. Poor fella has never gained the respect of any members of the upper crust and he never will.

So Prezident Leon, rooting around the government like a truffle hawg in heat, finally comes upon a challenging job to keep Old Orange Julius occupied: compere at the Kennedy Center. Red sails in the sunset, Donnie, red sails in the sunset.

Since the old boy is morphing into Rip Taylor anyway, what the heck, give him a shot.

After the fake assassination attempt he might as well start throwing confetti on himself. Would he be able to figure out how to bankrupt the Center?

When is the scheduled premier run of "Springtime for Trump and America."
