So is Grenell just going to cry on social media every day because artists cancel performing at the Trump Center?

So is Grenell just going to cry on social media every day because artists want nothing to do with his twisted MAGA perversion of the Kennedy Center? This seems like a great opportunity to showcase MAGA creative and artistic talent. I’m sure they will draw big patriotic crowds.

6. Wouldn't the name change have broken contracts anyway?

I would assume the contracts were signed under the old name and renaming the venue would either have broken the contracts or given parties a reasonable cause to cancel. For example, what if you signed to perform at Carnegie Hall and they subsequently changed the name to "Pile of Turds Hall"? Would you still be committed to performing there?

Ted Nugent?
Dennis Miller?
Pat Boone?
Church Choirs?

So much hate on liberal or gay artists, but life sucks without them, doesn't it?

He is a putz AND a schmuck!

"Nicki Minaj and The Mar A Lago Faces" featuring Lara Trump, Kristi Noem and Kimberly Guilfoyle! Featuring an introduction by Erika Kirk and JD Vance, who totally aren't fucking, btw.

Special VIP packages include backstage passes, including a tour of the 25,000 square foot makeup/botox facilities, a viewing of the Matt Gaetz "juvenile experience" daycare playroom and 8 drink tickets at the Pete Hegseth "I'm Not a Drunk Racist, You Are" Bar.

Here's a sample. OK, maybe not JD, but they do share a similar makeup artist.

13. Can the MAGA crowd from the other states afford the ticket prices?

When they can go on You-Tube instead and see their concerts?

Since TACO sullied the legacy and prestige of the Center, artists no longer want to associate their bodies of work with this VILE man and what HE represents.

That's taking a MORAL and ETHICAL stand.
