EXCLUSIVE: After Trump took over the Kennedy Center in Feb, he vowed to make it "hot" again. So, how's it doing? @jeremybmerrill.com and I used data from the center's ticketing website to find out. Ticket sales are lowest they've been since the pandemic. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

washingtonpost.com

Kennedy Center ticket sales have plummeted since Trump takeover

Nearly nine months into Trump’s oversight, sales for the three largest performance venues are the worst they’ve been since the pandemic, according to a Washington Post analysis.

Yet another example that Trump is about meritocracy, "poor kid makes good", seeking respectability like the Irish and Italian Catholics in previous generations. Respectability that the Establishment won't yield. It's Dems who operate as an aristocracy, using British Raj tactics to maintain power.

The Kennedy Center cut down all the large trees on its patio facing the Potomac a few weeks ago - which will indeed result in making it hotter because trees lower the temperature So maybe they meant ‘hot’ as in degrees heat?

The issue with Trump is that he's always been a nouveau riche gasbag wanting to be accepted by high society. And they never did. He's gaudy, he's crass, he's not really successful. He bought his way into this and in the process drove away the people he wanted to be ingratiated with.
