Trump enablers are shocked, shocked at the rudeness of a musician’s canceling on them just because Trump added his own fragrant name to that of the Kennedy Center.

The head of the Kennedy Center in Washington DC has demanded $1m (£740,000) in damages from a musician who cancelled a concert after President Donald Trump’s name was added to the venue.

Chuck Redd called off his Christmas Eve performance, which he has hosted annually since 2006, citing a vote by the board to rename the site the Trump Kennedy Center.

See, the problem here is, the Kennedy Center was named that because Kennedy was murdered on the job. Trump has not been murdered on the job. Furthermore it’s worth noting that there have been a lot of presidents since JFK was killed and not one of them slapped his name up on the wall in front of Kennedy’s. Not even Nixon, not even Dubya. Not one of them had the vulgarity and out of control narcissism and greed to do that. It’s morally repulsive. Lots of things are even more morally repulsive (and Trump is willing and eager to do all of them if invited), but this one is this one, and I for one think Chuck Redd was entitled to say “In that case I’m out of here.”

In his letter, Richard Grenell, said the cancellation was a “political stunt” and “has cost us considerably”. 

Well if the cancellation was a stunt what do you call the renaming of the Kennedy Center? Wasn’t that a stunt, and a much bigger, and worse, and trashier one? Yes, it was. Tough shit about its costing them. I’d like it to bankrupt them.
