Why couldn't the Moron Donald Dumb create his own racist, hateful, radical rightwing Fascist, and neo-Nazi Performing Farts Center bearing his cursed name?
Why did he have to parasitize and hijack a center created as a memorial to a truly great president who was assassinated by a 1960's version of MAGA morons: a Texan Evangelical Protestant who killed the country's first ever Catholic president?
The answer is simply that Trump is jealous and seething with an inferiority complex vis-a-vis the Kennedys. He knows that he and his dynasty of corrupt leeches can never rise up to the shoe sole of John F. Kennedy.
No sane artist would perform under the name of miserable and demented Donald Dumb who has not one artsy bone in his disgusting soulless physique. So he thought he would just hitch a ride and leech on the back of a smarter and decent president, John F. Kennedy.

I Can't Believe No One Wants to Perform at the Kennedy Center Now That Trump Is Destroying It
After the Trump-picked board voted to add Trump’s name, a handful of artists have canceled their performances, which the Trump-selected chairman has called “a form of derangement syndrome.”
It is the biggest bummer of my current life that I got stuck in the universe where Trump is a giant brat baby, Putin sycophant, and wannabe dictator, and not the universe where he was hugged as a child and encouraged to pursue his Broadway dreams. Alas, because he wasn’t hugged as a child—and was likely deeply discouraged from ever performing anything besides fragile masculinity—he is using all the pent-up rage of unrealized ambition to turn the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts into a tacky 1980s Atlantic City casino drowning in fake gold appliqués. And, shocker! No one (outside of the poisoned MAGA bubble) wants to perform there anymore.
On December 18, the Board of the Kennedy Center–whose members were all chosen by Trump–voted to rename the storied performing arts center the Trump Kennedy Center. Less than 24 hours after they all met in Palm Beach, workers added “THE DONALD J. TRUMP AND” above the Kennedy Center’s name. Technically, only Congress can approve a rename, so this is all illegal—but add it to the administration’s list of illegal actions, I guess. The Kennedy family is deeply pissed.
Two more groups have since pulled their upcoming performances because of the renaming: The Cookers, a jazz ensemble scheduled to perform on New Year’s Eve, and Doug Varone and Dancers, a New York dance company that was set to celebrate its 40th anniversary with two performances in April. The Center’s chairman, Richard Grenell—again, hand-selected by Trump—has accused everyone of having Trump Derangment Syndrome.
“Jazz was born from struggle and from a relentless insistence on freedom: freedom of thought, of expression, and of the full human voice,” the Cookers said in a statement. “Some of us have been making this music for many decades, and that history still shapes us.”
“It is financially devastating but morally exhilarating,” Varone told the New York Times in an email, adding that they’ll be losing $40,000. Personally, I’d also rather go broke than perform beneath anything bearing Trump’s name.
On Monday, Grenell called both groups “far-left political activists,” adding that he believes “boycotting the arts to show you support the arts is a form of derangement syndrome.” Obviously, artists protesting the government is the most artist thing to ever happen, but God forbid you ask anyone in MAGA world to read a non-Trump book once in a while.
Immediately after the name change, drum and vibraphone player Chuck Redd canceled his Christmas Eve concert, which he’s hosted every year since 2006. Grenell dismissed it as a “political stunt,” accused Redd of “classic intolerance,” and threatened him with a $1 million lawsuit. Try looking in a mirror and saying those things, Grenell.
“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 wrote in the letter, which was shared with the Associated Press.
Last week, folk singer Kristy Lee also canceled her free concert on Jan. 14. “I won’t lie to you, canceling shows hurts,” she wrote on Instagram. “This is how I keep the lights on. But losing my integrity would cost me more than any paycheck.”
Who needs ‘Hamilton’ at the Kennedy Center when you can go watch lara trump perform this chart bottoming song instead???

In February, after Trump got rid of the Center’s board and replaced it with only his supporters, a slew of artists canceled their appearances and events, including Issa Rae, the singer-songwriter Ben Folds, Pulitzer winner Rhiannon Giddens, and the producer of Hamilton, Jeffrey Seller, canceled the show’s run.
Trump also recently bragged on Truth Social about marble armrests he says may be added to the cultural hub of the United States—a fitting obsession for a “president” hollowing out a national landmark in order to build another monument to himself.

Donald Trump Attacks Kennedy Family on Truth Social Hours After Death of JFK's Granddaughter Tatiana Schlossberg
The president took to Truth Social hours after the Kennedy family announced their tragic loss to share posts from MAGA supporters mocking the political dynasty

NEED TO KNOW
In the hours following the death of Caroline Kennedy's daughter Tatiana Schlossberg, President Donald Trump took to social media to mock the famous political family.
On Truth Social on the afternoon of Dec. 30, Trump shared screenshots of MAGA supporters insulting the Kennedys for their response to his recent decision to add his own name to the Kennedy Center.
Members of the family have claimed that Trump is barred from renaming the center "by federal law," however, work crews have already added his name above JFK's on the historic memorial site.
As the Kennedys mourned the untimely death of Tatiana Schlossberg — the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy — Donald Trump took to social media to share posts mocking the famous family.
Tatiana, the middle child of Caroline Kennedy and her husband, Edwin Schlossberg, died on Tuesday, Dec. 30, at age 35, just over a month after publicly sharing that she had been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.
The news was shared by the social media accounts for the JFK Library Foundation, on behalf of Tatiana's family, which included her husband, Dr. George Moran, and their young children, Edwin and Josephine.
"Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts," read the post, which was signed by "George, Edwin and Josephine Moran, Ed, Caroline, Jack, Rose and Rory."
Trump did not directly mention Tatiana's death in his social media deluge following her death. Instead, he shared screenshots of MAGA supporters mocking the famous political family for their recent responses to his decision to add his name to the Kennedy Center, a historic performance venue in Washington, D.C., which was dedicated as a memorial to JFK following his assassination in Dallas, Texas, in 1963.
"The Kennedy Family have LONG neglected the Kennedy Center, btw," claimed one. "They don’t raise money for it. They never show up. And the only Kennedy who has been there recently is a member of Trump’s cabinet."
"The Trumps have always been supporters of the arts. The Kennedys are supporters of the Kennedys," read another.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Thursday, Dec. 18, that the board of the historic venue had "voted unanimously" to rename the building to the "Trump-Kennedy Center." The following day, work crews added "The Donald Trump and" above the previously-existing lettering, which read, "The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts."
However, controversy quickly arose among members of the Kennedy Center board and the family itself. Tatiana's brother, Jack Schlossberg, wrote on X that "microphones were muted" during the conference call where the board voted, and the outcome was "NOT unanimous."
Jack's claim aligned with comments made by Ohio Rep. Joyce Beatty, who serves as an ex-officio member of the Kennedy Center board. Following the vote, Beatty took to X with allegations that she and other opponents of the vote were muted on the call and were not allowed to vote their differing opinions.
"For the record. This was not unanimous. I was muted on the call and not allowed to speak or voice my opposition to this move," Beatty, 75, wrote. "Also for the record, this was not on the agenda. This was not consensus. This is censorship."
In her video message, she continued, "Clearly the Congress has a say in this. This center, the Kennedy Center, was created by the Congress. I think it's important for us to know that this is just another attempt to evade the law and not let the people have a say."
Other Kennedys have approached the matter from a legal standpoint. "The Kennedy Center is a living memorial to a fallen president and named for President Kennedy by federal law," wrote Joe Kennedy III, the grandson of former Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. "It can no sooner be renamed than can someone rename the Lincoln Memorial, no matter what anyone says."
The Kennedys have yet to respond to Trump's latest attacks. The only family members who have posted to social media in the hours following Tatiana's death have been those sharing loving tributes, like Caroline's cousin, Maria Shriver, who was directly mocked in some of Trump's screenshots.
"I return to this space today to pay tribute to my sweet, beloved Tatiana, who left this earth today," Shriver wrote on X. "I return to this space to pay tribute and honor her loving and supportive family, who came together and did everything they possibly could do to help her. I return to this space heartbroken because Tatiana loved life. She loved her life, and she fought like hell to try to save it."
"I cannot make sense of this. I cannot make any sense of it at all. None. Zero," she continued. "My heart has always been with my cousin Caroline ever since we were little kids. My entire being is with her now. What a rock she has been."
"Those of us left behind will make sure Eddie and Josie know what a beautiful, courageous spirit their mother was and will always be. She takes after her extraordinary mother, Caroline. May we all hold Tatiana’s family in our collective embrace not just today, but in the days ahead, and may each of you who read this know how lucky you are to be alive right now. Please pause and honor your life. It truly is such a gift."
