WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Sunday he will move to close Washington’s Kennedy Center performing arts venue for two years starting in July for construction.

Trump’s announcement on social media follows a wave of cancellations since Trump ousted the previous leadership and added his name to the building. Trump made no mention in his post of the recent cancellations.

This has all the "you can't quit, you're fired!" Feeling that comes with any six year old throwing a tantrum on the playground. Once again, MAGA is led by a child.
