If Trump’s name is removed, a ‘vital fundraising connection will be severed,’ the center’s chief executive argued
A Trump-Kennedy Center official warned a federal judge that stripping the president’s name from the renowned arts institution would cause unbearable financial damage, marking the latest twist in a months-long legal battle.
Charles Matthew Floca, the center’s 39-year-old executive director, filed a declaration Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, arguing the institution’s funding is inextricably linked to President Donald Trump.
“President Trump’s fundraising on behalf of the Center is exemplified by the tens of millions of dollars already raised,” Floca wrote. “Further, the President has committed to raise $150 billion on its behalf from private donors over the next two years.”
Pretty sure he’s making shit up because he wants to keep the sign
$10s of millions is a long way away from $150 billion, it’s like saying he gave me a $20 and promised $150,000 and check in the mail, so I let him write dickhead on the walls.
I also have a bridge to sell this guy.
Don’t undersell it. You are under by two orders of magnitude. This is a “Lego set : nice house” or “used car : lottery jackpot” kind of ratio
You’re right. Fixed
