>“Your decision to withdraw at the last moment—explicitly in response to the Center’s recent renaming, which honors President Trump’s extraordinary efforts to save this national treasure—is classic intolerance and very costly to a non-profit Arts institution,” Grenell, a longtime Trump confidant, wrote to Redd on letterhead bearing the new “Trump Kennedy Center” logo.
A classic MAGA.

Trump crony mad at protest over Trump cronyism.
Shocking stuff.

Amazing how much being a piece of shit full of hatred ages you. This is from 2020:
Fwiw, these artists signed contracts with the Kennedy Center, not the Trump-Kennedy center.
The real insanity is announcing a name change and then having the name installed within 24 hours. It’s gross and disrespectful

They can get acts like Ted Nugent, Kid Rock, or the standup stylings of Rob Schneider at a moments notice to fill this spot. No, really they aren’t doing anything, just call. Seriously. They could even get Kevin Sorbo as an opening act doing his one man show as a has been actor.

Next year they’ll book Kid Rock and Nicki Minaj

Just a reminder Richard Grenell has zero qualifications to be acting president of the Kennedy Center.

Another Republican funguy … “Grenell was a U.S. State Department spokesperson to the United Nations during the George W. Bush administration.

Well, those performers are rebuking this administration for illegally changing the name of the Kennedy Center.
A 1964 congressional law named the center after the assassinated president. It must be changed by congressional law. The board of directors do not have the power.
Trump putting his name on the building is nothing more than very expensive graffiti. But it is graffiti that insults the professional entertainers who have worked their lives to be good enough to be asked to perform at the prestigious Kennedy Center.
Trump has tarnished its prestige. Why would they want to perform there now?

Awesome jazz artist Chuck Redd is a hero, and we should all be repeating his name.

Time to make Chuck Redd’s name go viral. May all his shows for the next three years be sold out and standing room only.

Is “Memorial” still in the name? Is it just me or do they not even realize what the new name is implying?

This guy is a cartoon.
I remember him being interviewed on Australian TV, and asked why the rest of the world seemed to be opposed to Trump… and his answer was “They hate our freedom”.
So I knew that I didn’t have to listen to anything else this simpleton had to say.

*Roma Daravi, vice president of public relations at the Kennedy Center:
“Art is a shared cultural experience meant to unite, not exclude,” Daravi said in a statement to CNN. “The Trump Kennedy Center is a true bipartisan institution that welcomes artists and patrons from all backgrounds—great art transcends politics, and America’s cultural center remains committed to presenting popular programming that inspires and resonates with all audiences.”*
outrageous. he *illegally* changed the name, stacked the board and the honorees with political loyalists, is threatening to sue an artist….gtfoh.
the only thing resonating with me is Mr. Redd’s descension to cancel. good for him.

Acting like the performer did something wrong instead of recognizing that you basically just changed your name to “pedophile president and general corruption emporium p.s. also kennedy or what ever”

I understand that trump and project 2025’s single stated goal is to break as many things as possible, but imagine only being able to make 60% of your revenue at one of the (formerly) most highly esteemed preforming arts centers in the world. That’s like…bankrupting a casino.
Everything trump puts his name on really does turn to shit.

The Kennedy Center president can eat shit.
The artists agreed to perform at the Kennedy Center, not the “Donny Trump, AKA the fascist pedophile piece of shit, Center”.
