Trump Calls on Qatar to Fund Kennedy Center's MAGA Makeover

"President Donald Trump is aiming to give the Kennedy Center a MAGA makeover, and he has reportedly called on the country that gifted him his “palace in the sky” to do it.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the Republican president’s dramatic takeover of the longtime performing arts institution has led to plummeting ticket sales."

I seem to be using “What did I tell you?” a lot on my youngest grandchild.

I stand there with my mouth open thinking “oohhh that was my Grandmama and Mama!”
