Not only from the standpoint of its reconstruction, but also financially, and its reputation. Trump, a Republican who's chairman of the board, said at the White House that he was surprised and honored by the vote."
"President Donald Trump's handpicked board voted Thursday to rename Washington's leading performing arts center as the Trump-Kennedy Center, the White House said, in a move that was quickly denounced as a disgrace by the Democratic leader of the House, who is on the board.
