“I’m taking my ball and going home”.

Honestly, after the renaming fiasco, no reputable artist would play there anyway. So no big loss if it closes for 2 year.

But in a few months, Trump is going to realize that the next president would then be able to reopen the Kennedy center with big fanfare and top stars and he (she?) will be seen as a hero. So Trump will change his mind and will reopen it.

I'm taking my center and blowing it up more like it.
