The Kennedy Center was assembled with items donated by many sympathetic nations to memorialize a slain president. That Trump would aim to tear it down for any reason is detestable. Trump's takeover caused the center's financial troubles in the 1st place. Don't let him desecrate the Kennedy Center.
Text list: "- Italy: Donated 3.700 tons of white Carrara marble used for the building's interior walls and exterior facade. - Norway: Donated 11 crystal chandeliers for the Concert Hall. - Ireland: Donated a Waterford crystal chandelier and matching sconces for the Opera House south lounge. - Japan: Donated a red and gold silk stage curtain for the Opera House. - Belgium: Donated the large decorative mirrors in the Grand Foyer. - Canada: Donated the curtain for the Eisenhower Theater. - Pakistan and African Nations: Pakistan furnished a lounge in the Eisenhower Theater, and a group of over 20 African nations pooled funds and handmade tribal tapestries to furnish an African-themed lounge."

It turns out that once Trump strong-armed his way in, donations went through the floor.

This is priceless. One of the national security breaches Trump’s citing in removing Politico from the White House was a briefing arranged by his own goddamned press team. As James Reston observed, “the ship of state is the only vessel that leaks from the top.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
washingtonpost.com
The White House banned Politico, citing anonymous sources. It provided the quotes.
In a letter defending its ban of Politico, the White House critiqued a report based on a press call it conducted, where reporters were told not to name the speaker.

I think it’s funny (weird?) how folks post on here and turn off the ability for others to respond. Then there are a string of “posts” beneath it, also with comments cut off. WTF is the point of that? We’re having a conversation but not having a conversation? Parallel play? What?

The ban follows the exclusion of the Associated Press from the Oval Office last year, Pentagon credential purge and Trump’s multibillion-dollar lawsuits against the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the BBC. Its timing is bound up with the war against Iran and the approaching elections.
