How Long Before We’re Here?

You got wind already of the new name that the Kennedy Center bears, i.e., the Trump-Kennedy Center and no I don’t know if it’s legal to do that. Believe me, research terminals are blazing and legal scholars are shaking their dandruff loose attempting to figure out that very thing, as we speak. Here is the “rationale” for the name change, when you and I both know that the rationale is Trump giving himself a fancy Xmas present, to go along with the ballroom (now valued at $400 million up from half that two months ago) and the “Arc De Trump” — or whatever the hell the monstrosity will be called, assuming it ever gets built.

Let us translate Leavitt’s epistle, “Some of Trump’s favorite cronies, handpicked from whomever was standing around, after he fired the actual artists who used to helm the board, voted unanimously to give the Narcissist In Chief an extra toy with his name on it.” As to Trump saving the *reputation* of the Kennedy Center, what we know for a fact is that ticket sales have plummeted since he got his grubby mitts on it. This rebranding may have the effect of shuttering the windows and boarding the doors shut. JFK and Jackie are spinning in their graves now.

“The Kennedy Center Board of Trustees voted unanimously today to name the institution The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts,” wrote Roma Daravi, the center’s vice president of public relations. “The unanimous vote recognizes that the current Chairman saved the institution from financial ruin and physical destruction. The new Trump Kennedy Center reflects the unequivocal bipartisan support for America’s cultural center for generations to come.”

That’s from the Washington Post. Trump saved the institutition from “financial ruin?” He CAUSED financial ruin. The ticket sales plummeted once he got his hands on the Center. Plus, what physical destruction are they talking about? Anybody?

“I was surprised by it. I was honored by it,” Trump said at an executive-order signing Thursday afternoon. “You know, we’ve, we’re saving the building. We saved the building.”

He noted Congress’s $257 million appropriation for repairs and maintenance at the center and recent private donations, adding: “This was brought up by one of the very distinguished board members, and they voted on it. And there’s a lot of board members, and they voted unanimously.”

“I was muted on the call and not allowed to speak or voice my opposition to this move,” Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio), an ex officio member of the board, said in an X post.

“I’m devastated but not at all surprised,” said a former center staff member, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal. The president “has been floating that change since the beginning almost.”

The next change will be to call the opera house at the Center, “the First Lady Melania Trump Opera House.” Just watch. It will happen sometime between now and Melania’s birthday, is my guess.

And I’m also going to guess that patrons of the arts and the artsy crowd of Washington, D.C. and New York are going to boycott the center. Because you see, Donald, no audience, no show. You can do whatever you want to with the place but if nobody shows up, it’s all for naught. It’s just you playing with yourself and that’s what we’re about to see take place.

      I too noticed the Trump ‘playing with himself’ comment and couldn’t help but think of the recent SouthPark episodes where Trumpty is quite deliberately depicted with a really tiny penis and jerking himself off in ridiculous ways – for example using tweezers.

      That has to have enraged him. And with Stormy Daniels back in the news clapping back at some asshat going after her for having stood up to Trump his humiliation over her description of his shorter than average mushroom headed ‘junk’ and banging away in his pulled down tigthtey whities for just a few minutes all flooded back. No wonder he was so pissy last night.

      Think about it. For years he’d bragged to himself (and no doubt others) about having ‘given it too her than any male pornstar could do), thinking he was a master cocksman only to have her on freaking TV calling him a less than avergage dude. And barely more than a ‘minute man.’! Millions heard that and anyone who hasn’t drunk the orange Kool Aid knows which one of the two, Daniels or Trump is telling the truth.

      The more he feels belittled and humiliated the better. If it drives him into a mental meltdown with the cameras rolling, one so bad the Cabinet won’t have any choice but to invoke the 25th Amerndment then great. The last thing I want is for him to die and have to deal with all the ghastly pretense of a State Funeral pretending like he deserves such honors. No, I want his ass so thoroughly disgraced that even Fox would be embassed to have to put seven some of it on the air.

  1. With my eyesight being so blurry (surgery right before the new year!) i can’t read most of the names on that map but one has large enough lettering to make out. I think there must be a typo – should the renamed Tex-ASS be Trump-ASS?
