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.

    That's not the answer. It is an institution that was designed to serve the public good and has done since the 1960s. Nobody could have foreseen this.

    It can be rebuilt later under better conditions. If you have to bend your knee to a pedophilific felon just to keep the doors open it's not fucking worth it.

    His fucking name on a building means NOTHING to it's operations. It's pure vanity and should be treated as such.

    Fucking spineless people

    Capitalism was always going to trend towards end stage. Anyone who wasn't covering their eyes and ears yelling how great and exceptional the US and capitalism are foresaw this.
