If Trump can't slap his name on the Kennedy Center, he will just kill the Kennedy Center. Destroy the place to "save" it. It's actually one fight Old Yeller might actually win ... with yuge help from the usual enabling bootlickers of the GOP.

I'm amazed that Donald Trump has not threatened to shoot a dog in order to get his name on this thing.

Call their bluff. Better to have no Kennedy Center than one with Trump's name on it.

... Faces 'certain fiscal collapse' ...
Maybe because of the difficulties generating revenue after what Pres Trump has done to the once-esteemed Kennedy Center?

Because it was created by Congress.

It cannot close. I have tickets for that big Trumpapalooza II, featuring Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, Lara Trump, Lee Greenwood and Carrie Underwood...
On a more serious note, Der Dotard is the chair of the center. I thought he brought nothing but success to all that he touches, so how could the Kennedy Center be struggling? And what about that multi-year renovation that promised to bring gold curtains, a new roof, marble armrests and Diet Coke sold by strolling vendors? Aren't there enough cat jugglers, insult comics, clown bands, theremin players and revivals of "Our American Cousin" to pack the place 350 nights a year?
