Whut??? A folk singer not wanting to sing praises to the Great White Father and his narcissistic white nationalist agenda? Say it ain't so! LOL
Don't bother with that question, TA. There is no way you could understand any response to it that made any sense. You now have your nose so far up Trump's ass...that understanding anything must be very difficult for you.
Imagine that, a folk singer wants to make a political statement. Duh. (that's what they do)The Kennedy Center is already losing performers after Donald Trump slapped his name on the storied arts institution.
Kristy Lee, a folk singer scheduled to perform at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts on Jan. 14, is in talks to cancel her appearance, her spokesperson told NOTUS, as other artists also move to sever ties with the venue.
One performer, who spoke to NOTUS on the condition of anonymity, said Trump’s renaming had left a permanent “stain” on the center.
Another lamented what the Kennedy Center once represented—for artists and for the country at large. “I feel really badly for performers, not just for performers but for the people who work there,” they said.
“Kennedy Center is supposed to be a memorial, focusing on being nonpartisan. A place where people, it doesn’t matter what party they believe in, should be performing and experiencing the arts together regardless of what their party is. And it has not become that.”
Other artists who reluctantly chose to keep their scheduled performances at the center told NOTUS they are doing so as an act of resistance to the 79-year-old president.
“Reality show personality and con artist aren’t the type of artist the center showcases,” one artist said. They added that they “don’t associate the arts, or this building, with Trump.”
“And I guess the real debate up till now is what you boycott it and help ensure it goes down the tubes,” the musician added. “Or do you do the concerts and keep the audiences that love going to the Kennedy Center. And make sure there’s something there after this guy leaves. And it could be restored from however he trashes it.”
The backlash follows an announcement Thursday from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt that the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts would be tackily renamed to include Trump’s name after a vote by the venue’s board, which is now stacked with MAGA loyalists.
“Congratulations to President Donald J. Trump, and likewise, congratulations to President Kennedy, because this will be a truly great team long into the future!” she wrote on X. “The building will no doubt attain new levels of success and grandeur.”

All the oath-breaking traitors and white nationalists have their heads so far up Trump's ass they can't see anything but Trump. Weird!
Hopefully their families, friends and neighbors know the right thing to do.

Yes, the Kennedy Center set a new fundraising record in late 2025, raising an unprecedented $23 million at its annual Honors event in December, nearly doubling previous figures and significantly boosting funds under President Richard Grenell's leadership. This followed another record earlier in the year, with the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) Gala bringing in $3.45 million for the start of the 95th season.The Kennedy Center is already losing performers after Donald Trump slapped his name on the storied arts institution.

Who really cares?
I guess the point would be some people have principles that are more important to them than money. Something you seem to not understand because you clearly have no principles.

I haven't seen any MAGAts with principles. After all, they support a draft-dodging, adulterous, oath-breaking con-artist and pedophile to turn our Republic into an autocracy. They give human scum a bad name.
How about the Hudson river.
None that you could understand.
