America does not have a functioning government.

America does not have functioning laws.

American citizens are not safe from their government in their homes.

Can’t make this shit up! The geniuses at the DOJ redacted Trump in the #Epstein files - but not fully.

Folds on the Kennedy Center 3 weeks ago: I was sick to my stomach when I quit because I knew they were going to run it into the ground. No one that they were appointing had any experience in arts administration, but that was never the point. The point was to take that, run over it, and move on.

Almost all of Donald's recent actions (Greenland, Canada, arch, East Wing, Kennedy Center) begin to make more sense when you consider he likely now realizes he is close to dying and is desperate to cement his legacy with a physical monument he can attach his name to.

OK, he obviously was stung by the flurry of Kennedy Center cancellations and is now shutting it down for "remodeling" in a clumsy attempt to save face.

What's he going to do when everyone pulls out of the World Cup?

We don't need a new Kennedy Center or a new East Wing tainted by wannabe king Trump's felonious hands. We need affordable health insurance, affordable food, health care, and a government not run by the mob.

Gonna beg media not to just repeat Trump's obviously bullshit framing in the headlines. Tell readers the truth in the headlines.
Alternatives:
"With Artists and Audience Fleeing, Trump Closes Kennedy Center Indefinitely"
"Trump Says Kennedy Center Needs Renovation, Despite Recent $250M Renovation"
Breaking news: President Trump said that the Kennedy Center could temporarily close for roughly two years to undergo construction.

Maybe not the worst but most annoying thing about this Kennedy Center debacle is going to be the thousands of people with little to no knowledge of how nonprofit arts orgs are managed or funded busting out their uninformed axe-grinding takes all over the barely literate news coverage.
