Trump says Kennedy Center to close for 2-year renovations
President Trump says the Kennedy Center in Washington will close for two years for construction. The president has complained that DC’s performing arts center is “tired, broken, and dilapidated” and needs an overhaul. He announced on social media that the center will close on July 4th and construction would begin. Since taking office last year, the president has installed himself as chairman of the famed Kennedy Center and added his name to the facility. In recent months, there’s been a wave of cancellations by leading performers, musicians and groups.
