Kennedy Center ticket sales have plummeted since Trump took it over. They're down 43%! This picture shows the empty sea

A friend and I were going to visit her sister in Maryland next spring and we were thinking of a few days in DC along with a show at the Kennedy Center, but we decided NOT to include any shows at the Kennedy Center--since #Trump has taken it over.

WOULD YOU SEE A SHOW AT THE KENNEDY CENTER?

As you've probably heard, Kennedy Center ticket sales have plummeted since Trump took it over. They're down 43%! This picture shows the empty seat of a recent show.

How about you? If in DC, would you go see a show?

When Trump took over the Kennedy Center, his team accused it of not selling enough tickets and vowed to make it "hot." Instead, ticket sales under Trump have plummeted to their worst in years. @travismandrews
