Summary
The Kennedy Center is on the brink of bankruptcy, with officials warning they can’t pay payroll or cover maintenance — and now, in a shocking move, they’re proposing to slap Donald Trump’s name on the building to lure his support for fundraising. A federal judge is weighing whether this violates law, while critics call it a hostage situation and “insanity.” The board may shut down the main building as early as Tuesday over safety fears, leaving only the newer Reach expansion open — all while the center’s future hangs in the balance.
