Mere months ago, President Trump called for renovations to the Kennedy Center. Justice Department lawyers explained in court that the building was “dangerously dilapidated, outdated, and [in] decrepit” condition. The estimated time of closure to fully renovate the building was suggested to be two years. Without the work, they warned, “the Center will deteriorate into an unsafe, decrepit structure that will be required to be taken down.”
The Democrats fought against it. They argued that Trump had no right to fix the building, nor have his name attached to it. A federal judge then ruled that President Trump could not shut down the Kennedy Center to begin those much needed renovations.
A little over a week ago, a chunk of ceiling fell inside the main hallway of the Kennedy Center during a storm, underscoring the need to shut down the historic arts venue for renovations. There were no injuries, but the reality is that the building is falling apart as indicated by Trump who desperately wants to fix it. The Democrats hate Trump so much, that they will even let the Kennedy Center fall apart, rather than give him the opportunity to fix it.
The court battle to enable the renovation is still ongoing.
