Don't believe the "I will keep the steel" story [View all]

Trump plans to close the Kennedy Center, tear it down and rebuild it. The last I checked the Kennedy Center doesn't need to be torn down, but Trump's going to do it anyway.

Today he claimed that he won't tear it all the way down; he plans to keep the steel framework and some of the marble.

In 1979, Donald Trump bought the bankrupt Bonwit Teller's flagship department store because he needed the land to construct Trump Tower. The Metropolitan Museum of Art asked him for the art deco friezes on the face of the building; after promising them to the museum he ordered them all destroyed with jackhammers.

If you don't think this asshole will do the same thing to the Kennedy Center, think again. And I assure you, when the new building is constructed, assuming it ever is, it will be named the Trump Center for the Performing Arts.
