Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump - The Board of The Kennedy Center today agreed, almost unanimously, to close the Building for Safety reasons, and so that it can begin the process of Reconstruction. The closing will take place immediately, however, the Renovation and Reconstruction, which is a very large and complex job, cannot begin until such time as the D.C. Circuit rules on the Board’s approved name. If the ruling is a negative one, which it should not be, and is not overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, the Reconstruction and the Renovation of The Kennedy Center will not take place. The attorneys from the DOJ will ask for an expedited appeal. In the meantime, 17 Million Dollars, raised by President Trump, has been put into The Kennedy Center account to keep it afloat. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump - Video: For more than 50 years, the Kennedy Center has stood along the Potomac as a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy, and America's home for the performing arts.
Millions have come through its doors to experience music, theater, dance, history, and culture.
Yet behind the marble facade, above the ceilings, and beneath the foundation, critical systems are failing.
Above the iconic walkways, wrapping the building's exterior, lower roof drainage failures have saturated the massive overhead panels, severely corroding the steel supports that hold them in place.
One-third of these 278 soffit panels require immediate replacement, and over 95% exhibit significant corrosion.
Each panel weighs up to 2,500 pounds, suspended 60 feet directly above active pedestrian pathways.
In the parking garage, decades of water infiltration have degraded structural concrete and severely corroded structural steel.
Temporary shoring towers now hold up deteriorating slabs directly above active drive lanes, while key steel beams exhibit section loss of up to 40%.
This degradation reaches further into the subterranean service tunnel and loading docks.
Chronic water intrusion has compromised joints and fractured concrete slabs overhead, creating immediate life safety risks across this primary transit pipeline that serves every backstage space.
On September 4th, the risk became a reality.
In the Grand Foyer, water damage caused a 4-by-5-foot section of plaster to break free from the ceiling and fall 60 feet to the floor.
