Kennedy Center? Unlikely America's defacto "National Theatre" would ever go belly up, except in the control of these crooks.

Federal government? One day of Iran war, or just money off the top of Noem's DHS scams, would certainly pay for the Center's operating costs.

The entire arts and culture world? Are we as a Nation saying arts programs and museums, and libraries, and anything that is remotely unrelated to profit, are too costly? Probably!

CBS is the network that broadcasts the Kennedy Center ceremony each year, I believe, for what that is worth. I imagine they will start using the trump/Kennedy titles.
