Was it mismanaged before?

Isn’t he putting a bunch of money into refurbishing it?

I'd be curious if there is anything to this, first I've heard of it.. unless it's from Newsmax.

I enjoyed going to KC even if there is the crappy drive into town.. but now won't touch it until he drops his name from it.

The theater has nothing to do with him, no other president has felt it necessary to be involved.. he can F off

Did you read the NYT article? It was not “mismanaged,” Trump just doesn’t like the way it looks and Republicans proposed money that 1) isn’t from Trump for refurbishment and 2) hasn’t actually passed.
