Officials at the Kennedy Center warn it faces “certain fiscal collapse” within weeks unless Donald Trump’s name is added back to the building, according to documents obtained by The New York Times and The Washington Post.

The warning appears in a draft resolution circulated to the performing arts center’s board of trustees ahead of a special meeting Tuesday, the outlets reported. The center says it could be unable to make payroll or pay routine maintenance contracts within weeks and risks bankruptcy, according to the documents.

Trump has offered to raise the money needed to keep it afloat – but only with “appropriate recognition” of his role, without which he is unlikely to lead the rescue or oversee a planned renovation, the resolution says, according to the two outlets.

they think

First of all, they don't think much of anything.

What they do think is saying whatever seems to make the most sense to accomplish whatever goal they want right now is the right thing to say - right now. And later? Doesn't matter. Whatever they think needs to be said then.

No consistency, no logic, no truth - they don't care about any of that.

Saying this gives them the framework to have it echoed in their propaganda news outlets and helps them control the narrative as now the rest of us are playing defense against a stupid and worthless argument. We're defending something they just said to throw a monkey wrench in things. Now we're debating why the financial struggles instead of just saying "So..... again...... keep Trump's name off that building."
