Trump say F the subpar talent backing out and instead we will have a Trump rally. Perfect solution.
Also, Trump was spending a ton of his own money to fix the Kennedy Center. Due to a petty liberal judge, the building can continue to fall into disrepair.
America 250 concert lineup….? Trump is fixing it.
Trump Kennedy Center Rehabilitation…? Fugghedabboutit. Trump his taking millions of his own money and will spend it elsewhere.
Oh and for the haters who say he is always swindling. Well, people overlook he has taken entire areas of the public part of the White House and fixed, refurbished, greatly improved these spaces using his OWN money. The walkway leading to the West Wing was slate tile that was cracking and was a tripping hazard. He put in a granite replacement that will last "a million years".
Trump wins and wins. And love America and making even greater again.

I wouldn't call taking his ball and going home (post with the language he used after people said no to him) looking like winning, but at least he has a plan to make the event as much of a positive as possible, so at least that.
As for the Kennedy Center, I'd imagine if he really cared about the facility for what it is and has stood for for the past half-century plus, he'd still put his resources into it, even if his name was nowhere to be mentioned. But, then, that would be an altruistic act from Trump, and well, that doesn't seem to be in his wheelhouse.
Respect for any of his own money (no getting tax refunds/breaks for it though, or it doesn't count) that he used to help with what he's done for the public parts he improved.
