Trump: “Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight. It looks like I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope and suing him for plenty$. Ask Little George Slopadopolus how that all worked out. Also ask CBS! Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you!”

People are making fun of him for this, but I feel pretty confident that the new Trump Kennedy Center will be as much of a success as the Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Vodka, Trump Shuttle, Trump Mortgage, Trump Steaks, and Trump University.
Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."
