12. Rename the Kennedy Center the "Trump/aka Charlie the Tuna Performing Arts Center"

Trump reminds me of the old TV ads for "Starkist Tuna" with "Charlie the Tuna," if anyone still remembers them. Charlie was a Starkist reject because he wasn't a high enough quality tuna.

?si=b89qwwQdjlx5Qvpd

In the ads Charlie was always trying to appear refined enough to be picked as the highest grade tuna by doing things like, listening to opera, learning to paint, and any of the other things he thought tunas "with good taste" did that made them higher grade.

The fishermen would see through the ruse and always throw Charlie back saying, "Sorry Charlie, Starkist only takes the best tasting tuna" [not tuna with good taste].

Trump doesn't understand that no matter how many things he slops his name on, associates his name with, whatever, he will never be who he wants to be. People KNOW who and what he is, especially the people he wants to impress. He's already been rejected HARD byt the entire City of New York! He's despised there by the class of people he's chasing. It will never happen for him OR his horrible children...all of them.
I don't know who will perform at the Kennedy Center for the brief time his name may be on it. One can only endure so much Kid Rock and one hit wonder Lee Greenwood
