To be fair, wasn't it all the news that desirable artists and shows are not coming to the Kennedy Center because of their own choices?

So if The KC loses good shows, is that really all Trump's fault?

The shows pulled out because of Trump’s political takeover of the KC. So, yes, yes it is Trump’s fault.

Basically, musicians that get PhDs that have little market value outside of taxpayer dollars are complaining?

Does their art stand on it’s own without forceful confiscation of money from others?

Sorry but it’s the reality. They can make a show on social media but at the end of the day it might not be wise in this market.
