The Demise of the Kennedy Center

The tragic story of what has happened to the United States in general and the Kennedy Center in particular reminds me of a conversation I had with a lady on a plane years ago, headed for Las Vegas. She said that she had an offer to speak at a conference, which she had preliminarily accepted, until she learned that the venue was at the Trump Resort and Casino.  She had other reasons to be in Nevada, here we were, seated next to one another.

She looked me in the eye and told me, “I would rather cut my right arm off than step foot into a building associated with Donald Trump.”

Unsurprisingly, ticket sales for The Kennedy Center have fallen off a cliff.  Apparently, there are plenty of our country’s most sophisticated people who’d rather stay home and watch “Wheel of Fortune” than go to a national treasure that’s been co-opted by Trump.

    Craig: — this – like everything else Trump and his acolytes have tried to take as his / their own — will be reversed.

    There is also the associated caveat that his followers had better get ready for being hit with a huge tsunami — as they have really pissed off the rest of the Country.
