Surviving a second Trump admin*

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I keep wondering why trump refuses to release the 247 million dollars Congress appropriated for the Kennedy Center renovation and instead lie that his faboulous fundraising ability is the only thing that can save it and that he'll tear it down if he can't put his name on it. What the hell is wrong with these people?

I agree with you. If Trump would drop his naming ego trip proper renovations would have bi-partisan support.

As far as I know, there has never been anything that isn't bipartisan with regard to the Kennedy Center until trump came along. Besides, he has no authority to sequester or rescind money already appropriated by Congress.

When has that stopped him?

Uhhh, never. Hell, it's what he was impeached for the first time. Turns out the Republican Senators all suffered TDS (Trump Devotional Syndrome) at the time, and it's only progressed into now an incurable and terminal condition. Winning!
