Oh no, terrible news. We've been seeing plenty of selfies of grannies flipping off the Trump-Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and even brought you Jim Acosta, who reported "from the scene of the crime." Democrats now have two priorities heading into the 2028 presidential election: removing Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Center and demolishing "his" ballroom.
We didn't realize, though, how many people had canceled their scheduled appearances at the Trump-Kennedy Center over the name change. You'd think they'd be glad that Trump has spruced up the place and fixed the leaky roof.
Lin-Manuel Miranda has cancelled two whole months' worth of performances of "Hamilton." Even the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington, D.C., has pulled out.
Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Mostly old news, Hoodlum.

But here is a fact-check:
- All of these shows were booked by the previous regime. Their cancellations only prove our point that the place was booked with radical lefties putting woke politics above the Arts.
- There are some Artists who won’t… https://t.co/NVXUP0Ewf3
The post continues:
… perform for Republicans. And we will out those people. The media should out this intolerance in the Arts, too.
- Many of these shows were losing money because they don’t have broad appeal and shouldn’t have been booked because they are too niche and too political. Once we demanded that they pay their own way with a combination of ticket sales and donors, they backed out because they were losing money before they started.
- Disney is mad at @Lin_Manuel for being so intolerant that he doesn’t want Conservatives in his audience.
- Everyone is welcome at the Trump Kennedy Center.
- We should be thanking Donald Trump for supporting the Arts like no President before him.

Never heard of any of them

They aren’t going to see any tears from MAGA. So the only people they are hurting, besides themselves) are the liberals who would pay good money to see that drivel. And a few homeless people that would sneak in to stay warm.

Virtue signaling to their peers, bless their hearts. They can't help themselves.

Sell or close it.

Self deporting from the Trump Kennedy center. Winning.

These cancellations hurt a lot of little people that do the work for the productions. Who thinks of them?
— Ann Marie (@annmarie_hope) December 29, 2025
Richard Grenell is right; you'd think they'd be happy that the performance space had finally been tended to properly. But they're willing to boycott the venue, hurting only the liberals who would have considered going in the first place.
