Chuck Redd pulled out after they put Trump's name on the building. So small petty loser Grenell is suing him for $1 million.

Your decision to illegally rename the Kennedy Center at the last moment will prove to be very costly to a non-profit Arts institution.

The Kennedy Center is not in need of saving so future "extraordinary efforts" by President Trump will not be necessary.

Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I don't see how Trump's marble armrests for the Kennedy Center can at all be comfortable. Or classy.

Just what people wanted. Cold marble for their arm rests.

Trump is a ------- moron. His followers are even dumber.

Wait. The new chairman of the board of the place says it's doing better than ever. If so, then the financial loss' will be made up easily. Further, being such a hot place to perform one would think that a replacement act could have been found in short order. Right? Right? Buehler?

Were there any contract violations?

If not, get over it whiners.

This is just more "we're the victim and are being persecuted" crap from the right while they $h|t all over the first amendment.
