Why have no Democrats funders stepped up to fully fund the full scale renovations and repairs?


Probably because:
-they don't trust the management of the Center under Trump and his toadies
-Congress has already FUNDED the renovations in the amount of $257 million
-Trump's vanity is the only thing stopping the Kennedy Board from using the money to make repairs

First I'm hearing of it.

It's an interesting figure.


It is. Don't know if you saw my post about there being funds which are in dispute that were already raised. Guess the amount? 17 million dollars.

Trump SAYS many things that are not true. It shocks me that any adult at this point believes something Trump says without independent verification.


I didn't say it was true. I'm glad to see that you researched it and talked to ChatGPT about it though.

As I said, it's a very interesting figure.

Trump is good with numbers. Probably not a coincidence.

He said he has raised 17 million...

I don't care. He doesn't need to slap his name on everything and this threat of death to the building unless they do so is peak man-baby shite. How does he not see that? Or is he so stubborn that he simply won't back down regardless of how bad he looks?

I don't care if you don't care. You said you felt like it was by design. At some point you frickin idiots need to realize that when they make it bleeding fricking obvious that it is by design it IS by design. And then we can have a discussion about what that means. But at that point you'll still be 8 years behind the frickin times.

The next President won’t be as petty and want his name on it so let him renovate it. It won’t fall down in 2 1/2 years. But I don’t t think it’s as bad as the Board and Trump claims. It’s just another lie to try and get Trump’s name on it.

He picks some strange hills to stand his ground on. Why not just call it the National Center and get Kennedy’s name off of it?

No word on what happens to the $257 million in funding given by Congress last year to renovate the Center.

Send the funds to Little Somalia in Minnesota.

Congress doesn’t care about the billions of fraud, waste, and abuse, so, just flush it.

The proper agency to handle issues like this is the board. You agree?

This is not true. I’ve pointed it out to you before.
