Q: Do you plan on tearing the Kennedy Center down and how much will all of the renovations cost?

TRUMP: Probably around $200 million. I'm not ripping it down. I'll be using the steel. So we're using the structure. We're using some of the marble.

I wonder what King Trump thought was going to happen when he pulled out of the Iran nuclear arrangements in 2018? If those two countries now go to war, it's on him.

It must be a priority of the first post-Trump administration to reverse and restore these cultural losses. Of course, if that administration turns out to be Vance's, we're screwed.

You know what? I don't care. This man slashed federal jobs, appropriated massive amounts of private data, backed Trump financially, disowned his own trans child, and used his own social networks to advance the false narrative of white 'genocide' in his native South Africa.
