‘It’s disappointing’: Family that made medallions for Kennedy Center honorees reflects on legacy after Tiffany & Co. takes over

  1. I bet it’s so they can change the design and remove the rainbow.

    I imagine it will end up putting that family out of business. All so they can give the contract to a large corporation 🫠

    How terrible.

  2. Just when I think orange-man can’t get any worse, he goes another level lower.

  3. Trump will order the new design be all about Trump. The Kennedy Center honors have officially died. It’s now all about Trump. The recipients should reconsider accepting- it’s lost its honor and value.

  4. Another small business killed by Trump
    Another big corporation boost

  5. And trump said “

    Whatabout

    Gaudy shit from Tiffany’s?”

  7. Sad for the family, but gods, I’ve always thought those medals were so ugly.

  8. Next they will sell the Kennedy Center to a private equity firm

  10. If I could afford to shop @Tiffany & Co…I’d boycott them!!

  11. I feel bad for this family of course. However part of me thinks that they’re dodging a bit of a bullet – do they want to make the Sylvester Stallone medallion? To receive a Kennedy Center Honor in the future will be hugely diminished because of Trump.

  12. Joni Ernst: “The levers of government should never be used to pick winners and losers based on political priorities.”

  13. Pulling Americans out of “Americana” from the halls of power to our culture, what will be left?

  14. At least it’ll be clear moving forward who paid for their ‘honor’ with money and BJs compared to those in the past who rightfully earned theirs

  15. Why outsource something like this to a large corporation? What makes things like this special is that American craftsmanship and artitisans are a part of the history and what makes it special.

    Hes so damn tacky. He doesn’t appreciate small businesses and real work. So gaudy.

  17. How much do you think Tiffany’s paid **The President of the United States of America** to make medallions for the Kennedy Centre?

    Every day something happens in the US that I never would’ve believed. Every. Day.

  18. Wow, made by Tiffany’s. Wonder what the price per medal will increase by.

  19. Trump is all about supporting small American made businesses!! /s

  22. People treat him like he represents the farmers, coal miners, interests and ideals of small town Main Street, working class communities but he is and always will be social climbing, tacky, Nouveau riche Manhattan.

  23. Those medals are going to be gaudy and fake gold.

  25. I’d love to hear if an actual Trump supporter would agree that taking money out of an American family business and put it in the hands of a foreign conglomerate ‘just because’ is a bad move.

  26. He literally ruins everything he touches. I can’t wait until his arteries cement shut.

  27. Tiffany & Co. is owned by the luxury goods conglomerate LVMH.

    Our president wants to further solidify wealth & power to the global elites.

    President Donald J. Trump, while you’re at it, why not rename The Kennedy Center after the greatest American President, Donald J. Trump?
