That's it then. No one is going to perform there. This is perfect. It is so embarrassing for Trump. It shows the world that no serious artist in this country supports him.

Posts about performers canceling or boycotting shows at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts after Donald Trump’s name was added to the memorial. Mentions The Cookers canceling a New Year’s Eve performance (after a Christmas Eve cancellation) and messages such as “Boycotting Trump Kennedy Center!” and “THANK YOU to all the artists canceling their performances.”

No problem. Lara Trump can step in, with additional dance numbers from her father-in-law.

doubly so when they're being asked to perform "we're please to entertain Nazis" alongside their usual musical performance.

Richard Grenell, the Kennedy Center’s chairman, said in a statement on Monday night that ….Boycotting the arts to show you support the arts is a form of derangement syndrome,” he said. After Mr. Redd canceled the Christmas Eve concert, Mr. Grenell ….threatened a $1 million lawsuit.” So is suing🤭🤭

Bravo! May this mini rebellion continue. 🤗🇺🇸 More Acts Cancel Kennedy Center Performances After Trump Name Change share.google/DzqxxBcCnjTO...

I am so proud of every artist and performer who is taking a stand! They have more courage than our cowardly, corrupt, greedy, members of congress.
12/30/25, 10:53 AM
A person who works for the public refuses to serve the public claiming they owe the public nothing; the same administration makes the pathetic argument that artists owe the administration performances. Conservative double-standards at their best.
12/30/25, 10:41 AM
Now DonPEDO has threatened to sue the artists for canceling. Sounds illegal to me.

Yeah... it's going to end up coming down to why the performers performed there. If they decide to say fuck it and protest, then that's great. If they decided that they're still going to continue to associate with the pedo in chief, then they deserve blacklisting.
12/30/25, 10:13 AM
Let it slide into a venue for MAGA artists. Just how many shows can Kid Rock do?

With everybody canceling #KennedyCenter appearances, the best they can do is Susan Alexander singing opera.

Anybody in the arts being right-wing is baffling to me.

www.aol.com/articles/jaz... The last-minute cancellation follows the controversial Dec. 18 decision to rename the music, arts, and cultural institution to include President Trump. Considering its an all "BLACK" Jazz Band, I can understand why they cancelled!

No wonder the Pedo In Chief renamed (briefly) the #KennedyCenter - look at his face and posture here; totally unaware of where he is, no idea of who the building honors, just blank, senile vacancy.

THANK YOU to all the artists canceling their performances at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. 🎵🙏🎶

Pretty soon, they’re going to need to remove “Performing” from the side of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Without artists, ain’t much performing.
12/30/25, 08:03 AM
After the cancellation of a concert on Christmas Eve, the jazz band The Cookers does not want to perform at the Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts on New Year's Eve.
12/30/25, 08:02 AM
In civil law there's the "clean hands" doctrine it says you can't be committing an illegal act & ask the law to help you. It is illegal to rename the ctr w/o Congress & the artists cancelled because of that so courts should dismiss any suits. This is text book clean hands

Well, Trump managed to bankrupt 2 casinos, and at this rate, he could bankrupt the Kennedy Centre.

- Women, men, Black, white, queer — artists aren’t showing up for your **political circus**. - Your so-called “patriotism” is just a **power flex** — you can’t fool them. - Real artists **don’t bow to red hats or the guy in the boardroom**.

so the sold-out shows are canceled now? Issa Rae, Rhiannon Giddens, Low Cut Connie, Lin-Manuel Miranda — all stepping back from Kennedy Center Why? Because the place got turned into Trump’s little playground**, and suddenly “values” don’t exist. Let me break it down for you, MAGA clowns:

Actually, that's a good idea. YOU don't get a say in what the performance contents will include. If they have to perform, then let them read out all the crimes and sexual abuse that Trump has been convicted of. Read out everything so it's televised live GLOBALLY. How about that, troll?
12/30/25, 06:40 AM
This was because of the Kennedy Center honors, but my thing is - imagine thinking KISS weren’t sellouts before this. 😆
12/30/25, 06:37 AM
You know what is a stupid take? Trolls and fkwits like you who think they are know-alls. The Kennedy board is ALREADY involved in a lawsuit because of the name change. JFK's daughter is suing the board for changing her father's memorial building ILLEGALLY. Go back to twitter where you'll be happier

A former writer for South Park had a premonition months ago and bought the domain names for trumpkennedycenter.org and it is hilarious You maybe either 1) already knew or 2) are not a local so don’t care, but we could use as many smiles as we can get anyway so here’s one for today
