Wikipedia has a list of 41 artists that canceled their performances at the Kennedy Center due to Trump’s interference, and that was events already scheduled. It will be even harder to find artists willing to consider booking shows there in the future as long as Trump’s name stays associated with it.

Raising billions of dollars for an institution that has no events makes one wonder where those billions of dollars will actually go.
