Trump Orders Scores of Kennedy Center Staff Fired in Final Insult
In his presidential sidequest to overhaul the Kennedy Center, Donald Trump wants to get rid of most of the people who make it work.
Dozens of employees of the historic performing arts center are on the chopping block after its board of trustees, handpicked by Trump, 79, voted to approve a two-year renovation project on Monday, CNN reported.
Monday’s meeting minutes said that “approximately 75 to 175 of the Center’s roughly 300 employees” would be impacted by the two-year full shutdown, according to the outlet.
“Major infrastructure needs include HVAC and chilled water systems, electrical infrastructure, structural and concrete deficiencies, service tunnel conditions, waterproofing, roof and steel degradation, and life-safety systems,” the minutes said. “A full shutdown is the most efficient and cost-effective path to complete the work properly.”

Then Democrats can put it in the budget for it when they have the House next. And we'll use actual competitive bidding when we do it.
Although no more gigs there for a time, time wherein the performances aren't sullied by his ignoble name splattered across the proverbial marquee? Maybe not the absolute worst thing. ...... Nobody wants to go right now anyway, thanks to this particular NPD/FTD manifestation of his re: the Kennedy Center.
I dunno, worst case I mean, maybe might as well get it paid for, then of COURSE, we TAKE HIS FUCKING NAME OFF ANYWAY, later 
Yes, his remodel would make it lame in a lot of ways (gold trim and such) but then Dems can then put it in the budget when we're in power, we'll fix all his dumb stuff, keep all the upgraded ventilation and plumbing and all that.
In fact, a gig like that sounds like a good place for some union tradespeople (veterans, even!) to earn a few paychecks if you ask me
