Carousel by Congresswoman Chellie Pingree
Congresswoman Chellie Pingree@chelliepingree The number one problem the Kennedy Center has right now is Donald J. Trump, who took an institution that had a $40 million surplus in 2024 and completely ran it into the ground. Instead of figuring out ways to lower costs for American families or how to get out of his disastrous war, Trump spends his time obsessing over his vanity projects—and throwing temper tantrums when he doesn’t get his way. No one denies there is work that needs to be done there. Congress appropriated $257 Million for repairs and renovations, *on top of* the $37 million in annual funding. But we all know what this is really about to Trump: himself. The Kennedy Center is a living memorial to JFK. Trump is slowly killing it with his gross mismanagement, his nonstop meddling, and his egomania. We won't let him get away with it.

@genechronister Disgusting person! More taco crap
@deemarie0227 Trump the destroyer. Everything he touches is in someway changed for the worse. Very sad situation with this beloved institution. 😢
@k.a.stinson There needs to be a full audit and investigation to understand what happened to the taxpayer provisions and exactly what effect DJT's meddling had on it all.

@nonadar4boys Everyone needs to take a look at the names on the Kennedy Center board that he handpicked. They should all be held accountable!
