CNN is reporting the real reason Trump is closing the Kennedy Centre for two years is not for renovation: “the Kennedy Center does not have a 2026/2027 season. There would not have been any programming to announce."

But their industry trade groups actively lobbied for Trump's Big Ugly Bill, which boosted ICE's budget by $75B.
