Seemed to be doing just fine without Trump's name on it before. Now they can't book acts to save their fucking lives.
What good is a performing arts center with no performers?

It’s a billboard for a pedophile.
wasn't it closed anyway?
“President Trump’s fundraising on behalf of the Center is exemplified by the tens of millions of dollars already raised,” Floca wrote. “Further, the President has committed to raise $150 billion on its behalf from private donors over the next two years.”
Let's try to be generous here and assume "tens of millions of dollars" is 1) roughly $100M, and 2) all new income that wouldn't have happened without his name on the wall, on top of any income offsetting losses. Both very generous assumptions for a statement from a member of this administration.
If that's true, he is expecting to raise in the next 24 months 1500x as much money as has come in the last 6 months.
Like are these people really this dumb or do they really just not care?
If your organization needs a pedophiles help to stay in business to that degree? Your business deserves to fail.
Good, let it die then. It's tainted beyond repair at this point. Would you attend an event at a venue run by a rapist con man? Kennedy descendents should request their name be removed from the entire operation. Here's hoping an electrical fire takes down the building.
Pretty sure he's making shit up because he wants to keep the sign
$10s of millions is a long way away from $150 billion, it's like saying he gave me a $20 and promised $150,000 and check in the mail, so I let him write dickhead on the walls.
I also have a bridge to sell this guy.

Don’t undersell it. You are under by two orders of magnitude. This is a “Lego set : nice house” or “used car : lottery jackpot” kind of ratio
You're right. Fixed
So where were they getting their money before trump shit all over the building?
Probably all the concerts and bookings that cancelled after Trump slathered his name in the building.
Do it anyway.
Sounds like someone that knows they could be killed if they say something wrong, but doesn't have the soul to die for what's right.
Sounds like someone that knows they could ~~be killed~~ lose their Treats™ if they say something wrong, but doesn't have the soul to ~~die~~ lose their Treats™ for what's right.
Good, then fucking go broke and resign yourself to the dustbin of history where you belong

Everything that has had Trump's name on it needs to be demolished. We should find some other way to honor Kennedy that is unsullied by Trump's name, even if it's just in the history section of its Wikipedia article.
