Trump’s brutish takeover of the Kennedy Center is working about as. Well as most of his business ventures, bad.
BREAKING: MAGA world erupts in rage at legendary cellist Yo-Yo Ma after it's announced that he will be avoiding the Trump-controlled Kennedy Center in favor of other venues.
It turns out that our nation's best artists want nothing to do with this fascist president...
According to The Washingtonian, the Washington Performing Arts booking organization are avoiding placing talent at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts for the foreseeable future.
The Kennedy Center has seen an exodus of top talent in recent months as Donald Trump has fired roughly two dozen board members and stocked it with MAGA loyalists, including Richard Grenell as president.
A spokesperson for the Washington Performing Arts stated that they "will not utilize The Kennedy Center" because they are aiming to "thoughtfully match artists and their work with venues that best serve the art, the audience, and the moment."
They added that they "assessed the variety of artists and performances we have in this upcoming season and decided it was best to explore new spaces that offer fresh possibilities."
With the departure of the Washington Performing Arts, the Kennedy Center will lose out on other exciting performances as well. The organization announced "Sigourney Weaver and the Pacifica Quartet at Sixth and I for WPA’s annual Ruth Bader Ginsburg Memorial Concert, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at Strathmore, Yo-Yo Ma at Strathmore, and Midori at Sixth and I."
This news comes as just the latest blow to the Kennedy Center, which has been hemorrhaging money and sinking in popularity since Trump first got his grubby hands on it.
Katy Waldman of the The New Yorker recently stated that "no matter how well or badly the center was doing before Trump, the Trump anti-Midas touch is in operation here, and now everything is worse.”
“Not only are ticket sales down, but donations have been paused, artists are pulling out. All of the spigots for money have slowed or have been turned off,” she added.
