Trump to close Kennedy Center for renovations amid backlash from performers
"I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, he said in a post on his Truth Social platform. The temporary closure will produce a much faster and higher quality result! The closure will start on July 4, to coincide with the 250th Independence Day celebration."
"The president added that the facility's various entertainment events concerts, operas, musicals, ballet performances, and interactive arts would impede and slow the construction and renovation operations, and that a full temporary closure would be necessary. The Trump Kennedy Center, if temporarily closed for Construction, Revitalization, and Complete Rebuilding, can be, without question, the finest Performing Arts Facility of its kind, anywhere in the World, he said. America will be very proud of its new and beautiful Landmark for many generations to come."
President Donald Trump announced a plan to close the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts for an approximately two-year reconstruction beginning July 4, coinciding with the 250th Independence Day celebration. He said the temporary cessation of concerts, operas, musicals, ballet performances and interactive arts is necessary because live events would impede renovation work, and he seeks a faster, higher-quality result. The decision will be subject to approval by a board he handpicked after replacing previous leadership and adding his name to the building. There was no immediate comment from the Kennedy Center.
