Another Trump renovation (sigh). This ought to go over well.
Trump announces two-year closure of Trump Kennedy Center for major renovationsresident Donald Trump said Sunday that the Trump Kennedy Center will close later this year for a two-year period to undergo renovations.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the complex will close on July 4, coinciding with the nation’s 250th anniversary, at which point construction will begin on what he described as a "new and spectacular entertainment complex."
Trump said the decision followed a yearlong review involving contractors, arts experts and other advisers. He added that the temporary closure would allow the renovations to be completed faster and at a higher quality than if construction were carried out while performances continued.
Trump said the approach would be "the fastest way" to elevate the center, adding that the planned grand reopening would surpass previous versions of the venue.
The Trump Kennedy Center did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. ...........
........Trump said the funds to carry out the renovation were already in place, though he did not provide an estimated cost or explain whether the project would be financed through federal funding, private contributions, or a combination of both.
The Trump Kennedy Center hosts hundreds of performances each year and is home to several resident companies. It was not immediately clear whether those events would be postponed or moved to other venues.............
