"With Closure, Kennedy Center Follows the Path of Trump Steaks, Trump Plaza, and Trump Vodka"
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"

Is that a fancy way of making sure they can continue to say ‘these claims are unsubstantiated?’
