JFK's Family Blasts Trump's Closing Of The Kennedy Centre

President Donald Trump’s plan to shutter the Trump-rebranded Kennedy Centre for two years isn’t sitting well with the family members of former President John F. Kennedy, for whom the Washington, DC performing arts venue was named. 

Trump made the announcement late on Sunday on his Truth Social platform, calling the existing structure “tired, broken, and dilapidated.” The venue, he said, will close on July 4 ― the nation’s 250th anniversary ― and will reopen shortly before he leaves office.
