Here's the contents of the email I sent to the PR dept, of the Kennedy (NOT TRUMP) Center: at publicrelations@kennedy-center.org.
Hi,
I am an American citizen writing to express my displeasure and outrage that the Kennedy Center board illegally voted to change the name of the venue to the Trump-Kennedy Center. (The president's ego is so colossal he wouldn't even take second billing.) The Center was created by Congress in 1964 as a memorial to the late President. My understanding is any name change would have to be enacted and approved by Congress. The board does not have the authority to make such a change. Plus the vote was apparently not unanimous because a board member who wished to voice her objections was muted.
This is obviously a ploy to placate Trump's enormous ego. Plummeting ticket sales and artist boycotts will get even worse over the next three years as no one of artistic integrity will want to associate themselves with the derangements of the Trump administration--tarriffs, deportations, cutting vital services, eliminating cancer research and USAid, weather services, eliminating Obamacare subsidies, lying about the 2020 election, pardoning drug lords and frauds. etc., etc. (Except for those sycophants who want a Kennedy Center Honor, a once sought-after accolade, now as worthless as a FIFA World Peace Prize.) For six decades, the Kennedy Center has stood above politics as a national shrine to the arts. All were welcome. Not anymore. If you disagree with him, you are not welcome. Once he leaves office, everything will revert back to an inclusive state. That is if the Center does not go bankrupt and collapse like everything else Trump touches.
Sincerely,
David Sheward
Jackson Heights, NY
