Before Trump claimed he had closed the Kennedy Center because the building was dangerous and in need of repair, he showed up on a call with the Center’s board to throw a tantrum over a judge blocking him from adding his name to the building.

America is at war. Oil is over $100/barrel, inflation has made life unaffordable, but the President Of The United States made time to be on a call about a building.\

CNN reported:

“It was f**king crazy,” said one source familiar with the exchange between Trump and Rep. Joyce Beatty, whose lawsuit has prevented Trump’s name from being added to the building.

Another source said Trump screamed, blaming Beatty for getting the courts involved and leading to the downfall of the performing arts center. Beatty told Trump he had put the Kennedy Center into deep debt, the third source said.

Trump has operated this way for as long as anyone can remember. His presidency has done the same thing to te country as a whole. Debt is how Trump operates.

The president put the Kennedy Center into debt by making it toxic to the point where performers canceled and donations dried up.
