  1. I am surprised that the drop isn’t greater than 50%. Yet another thing that this guy is ruining.

  2. “I’m never going to financially recover from this.” – Famous Trump fan.

    Nailed it.

  3. wtf is wrong with these people don’t they want to see Ted Nugent play the hits

  4. This is like Elon and Tesla all over again. Trump sees sold out shows at the Kennedy Center and thinks “boy if they love it now imagine how much they’ll love it when it’s all anti-woke Kid Rock cover bands”

    Turns out your average Kennedy Center patron is a wealthy older artsy type who wants nothing at all to do with whatever bullshit Trump has cooking up.

    Insert shocked pikachu meme.

  6. Who knew it’s bad for business when you publicly say you don’t support (insert minority group)

  7. Nobody wants to see anything that this new board is going to put on the stage there. Let me rephrase, nobody with taste, decency, and class wants to see anybody who Trump and his sycophantic, idiotic board thinks is “worthy enough” for them.

  8. I’m gonna go out in a limb and guess that the typical patron of the Kennedy center is a well off liberal and not a big fan of Trump

  9. He will spin it as the Kennedy Center as a disaster, then sell it off to whoever and it will be renamed to (insert billionaires name here) Exclusive Center

  10. Just shut it down until 2029. No one wants to see Don’s tasteless idea of live entertainment anyway.

  11. There’s surprisingly little demand in DC for a Kid Rock revue or an antisemitic poetry slam featuring Kanye West.

  12. I’m starting to think all publicity isn’t in fact good publicity.

    I haven’t thought of the Kennedy center once in my life and now I know I don’t want to see a performance there.

  14. The Times ending the article with this quote from the WH is perfect given that the article is about how sales are plummeting thanks to Trump

    >”The Kennedy Center learned the hard way that if you go woke, you will go broke. President Trump and the members of his newly-appointed board are devoted to rebuilding the Kennedy Center into a thriving and highly respected institution where all Americans, and visitors from around the world, can enjoy the arts with respect to America’s great history and traditions,” the White House said in a statement to the Wall Street Journal.

  15. You would think the Ride of the Valkyries as performed by the Jan 6 prison A cappella group would be a big hit !!!

  17. Under the Biden administration: Popular content, generates revenue: Terrible waste of government resources on awful America-hating artists

    Under the Trump administration: Niche content, operates at a loss: Government must support True American culture, profit is not the goal

    *In other news, the Kennedy Center announces its first Artist in Residence Ted Nugent*

  18. You know, people don’t really tend to want to go to museums while fascists dismantle the government, historically.

  19. It’ll become the signature venue for Kid Rock concerts.

  20. We are literally a month into this presidency holy shit what is 12 months gonna look like?

  21. Turn that place into an empty barn until Trump is gone.

  22. No worries! The name will change to Trump Center For the Performing Arts and sales will rebound faster than the world has ever seen.

  24. Was he under the impression that the type of people who voted for him… attend shows at the Kennedy Center?

  28. Wait until summer comes! We haven’t seen how low the sales will go!

  30. Never had any plans to go there, but I won’t be now or any time in the future…

  32. Well, when the first “concert” is the J6 “choir” with Lara Trump as an opener, yeah no one wants to pay to see that

  33. you mean nobody wants to buy tickets to see the Jan 6 choir or Kid Rock residencies at the Kennedy Center under new management?

  34. Who knew doing things for the sake of your own ego would alienate audiences?

  35. they’ll use this as an excuse to shutter the center, mark my words.

  36. Conservatives have no culture. Never have. Never will.

  37. This entire presidency is about destroying institutions that are believed to be controlled by liberals. That is why you’re seeing certain agencies targeted, and the Kennedy Center

  38. No decent artist should perform there. But I suspect trumps megalomania is looking at razing the center and building a hotel. The guy is effing nuts and pure evil.

  40. Of course they did. Trump’s supporters aren’t buying tickets to the Kennedy Center. First of all none of them live in Washington DC. Second of all it’s a place of arts and culture and Trump is an uncultured swine whose only experience with classical music comes from the music they had in old cartoons 

  41. Only 50%? It’ll drop more soon. Give it time. I can’t imagine not many people wanting to go since it’s under new management.

  42. It’s almost like everything he touches turns to shit. It’s like Midas touch but for failure.

  43. We used to go to the Kennedy Center occasionally. We will not.

  45. That is a win for the fascists. They hate the arts

  46. More people will drop. 50% in 3 weeks is actually staggering.
