    Yeah, I believe there has been a report of at least one completely empty performance. Additionally Philip Glass canceled his Premiere of his “Lincoln” symphony because "the values of the Kennedy Center today are in direct conflict with the message of the Symphony.” - Source

    I think Trump is shutting it down to prevent more stories of how quickly he’s ruined this institution for the arts. Yet another loss for America.

      Well, there’s that. Plus he fucking hates the OG Kennedys and how revered they are. Plus now he gets to destroy the building and grift the rebuilding. He sees it as all wins.

      And I thought I couldn’t love Philip Glass more than I already did. Fucking legend.

      Fuck Trump and every asshat that’s enabling him.
