Nobody hears the people sing: Ticket sales at Kennedy Center plunge by nearly 50% after Trump takeover

In the eight months since President Donald Trump took over the Kennedy Center, ticket sales have plummeted by nearly 50 percent, according to a new report.

Just weeks after reclaiming the White House, Trump fired members of the Kennedy Center’s board and picked replacements while installing himself as chair.

Since then, tens of thousands of seats have been left vacant at the Kennedy Center’s three largest performance venues, according to an analysis of ticket sales by the Washington Post.

From September 3 through October 19 at the Opera House, the Concert Hall and the Eisenhower Theater, 43 percent of tickets remained unsold for the typical production, the Post found.

1. Art feeds our souls. Trump is a soul crusher.

Once he took over the Kennedy center it was dead in the water.

2. Knowing what the Orange Monster did, I wouldn't go there for 1/2 price.
