"Based on these findings, ⁠and totally ‌subject to Board approval, I have determined that ‍the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the ​highest level of Success, Beauty, ‌and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand ⁠Reopening that will ​rival and ​surpass anything that has taken place with respect to ‍such a ⁠Facility before," Trump wrote on the social media ⁠platform Truth Social.
