THIS RANSACKING AND THEFT OF A NATIONAL MEMORIAL MUST NOT BE ALLOWED!!!
I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE AN AMERICAN ā ANY AMERICAN (MUCH LESS AMERICAN PRESIDENT) SHOW SUCH HOSTILITY TOWARD THE ICONIC FORMER PRESIDENT, JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY!!!
Former Kennedy Center board of trustees member Rep. Joyce Beatty has called Trumpās actions unlawful and plans to stop things from getting worse. She filed a federal lawsuit demanding that the two-year shutdown be blocked and requesting that his name be removed from the building.
Trumpās renovation projects have also made the Kennedy family furious. Maria Shriver and her nephew previously blasted Trump online, saying he needed to be stopped for destroying history during his four years as president.
Palermo added that the new leadership at Trumpās Kennedy Center was full of āincompetenceā and had no arts or management experience, or motivation except for photo-ops.
Skepticism came as one person alleged, āI saw this man interviewed yesterday. He was most forthcoming and truthful! It is outrageous what Trump has done to this once beautiful centre!ā
āSick these tickets keep going up,ā wrote another user. āI need them to go back down. This should be illegal!ā āSo sad. The Africa Room was spectacular,ā added another.
One X user wondered if the missing art would end up in the twice-impeached presidentās home. āHow much of this missing artwork will show up at Mar-a-Lago and the homes of Trumpās buddies and donors?ā
Trump was dragged after that interview went viral on social media, with many angered by the chilling list of artifacts that have vanished into thin air.
āIām coming forward as a whistle-blower because Iām calling on Congress to enact some kind of a firewall to prevent this from ever happening again,ā he added. āAnd I believe that that should be a bipartisan effort.ā
Palermo added that he was speaking out because he believes art institutions should never be politicized, and Congress should act.
That room is now completely gutted and emptied. I was not told where those items went.ā
āThere was a sculpture from Ghana that represented the collective Africansā grief at the assassination of President Kennedy,ā he said. āAnd there were ornate hand-carved wooden doors carved from 700-year-old wood that contained scenes of Yoruban village life.
In addition, Palermo was told to get rid of āeverythingā to make room for new art, and priceless art is missing, including from the African Room, a display with the art from at least 30 African nations.
āI remember thinking that was strange,ā he said during an MS Now interview.
Palermo added that tickets on the orchestra level were going for six figures ājust because it was in the same room as the president for that performance.ā
āThere was an evening last summer where it was reported that tickets were going for $2 million to sit near the president in his presidential box and attend a VIP reception.ā
āA lot of that seemed to be positioning the proximity of the president and his chairmanship of the Kennedy Center and essentially selling access to that through things like the preview event of āLes MisĆ©rables,ā the curator revealed.
The artist said that the fundraising tactics used for Trumpās Kennedy Center were ābizarreā and meant to get donors the presidentās ear. Palermo claimed tickets for the musical āLes MisĆ©rablesā were being sold for $2 million in exchange for being near Trumpās box as well as a VIP invite.
Many employees, including Palermo, were told that they would have their jobs until July when they were laid off, but they were let go on March 26 instead. Palermo also sat down for an interview with PBS News, where he revealed other shady dealings since Trump took over.
The former Kennedy Center curator wrote a piece titled, āWhat I Saw Inside the Kennedy Centerā for The Atlantic, and Palermo revealed that things at the performing arts center are āfar worse than the public knows.ā
A name change ostensibly requires the permission of Congress, but Trump bypassed the process and announced a two-year closure of the center for renovations, prompting to at least 100 layoffs. However, the centerās former curator, Josef Palermo, says thatās just the tip of the iceberg.
had the board vote in favor of adding his name to the building, which was named after the 35th president, John F. Kennedy.
The former reality TV star cleaned house last year when he fired the performing arts centerās board and replaced them with his allies. He then dared to make himself CEO of the Kennedy Center and
Indeed, as Trump piles on in his associating himself with Christ and attacking Pope Leo XIV, other scholars see him playing into Americaās long history of anti-Catholic prejudice to benefit himself.
From there Blanchard argued that Trumpās actions should be interpreted not as literally those of an Antichrist, but rather as reflecting a Satanic spirit that one associates with traditional religious notions of evil.
President Donald Trump recently posted an AI picture comparing himself to Jesus Christ, but a prominent theologian believes the president is more comparable to the Antichrist.
