Center executives say they will not be scheduling new shows or concerts, leaving the venue accessible but uninviting. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Members of the public can still visit the President John F. Kennedy memorial exhibit, community programming, and National Symphony Orchestra rehearsals. Free Millennium Stage events will continue on weekends, as well as select community events.<\/p>\n<p>The Post counted three visitors inside the building during an afternoon visit, one of whom had wanted to visit the center for a while and made sure to do so on her trip to D.C. for the Fourth of July in case the planned closure takes effect.<\/p>\n<p>Tarps still cover the front of the building, including the name of the center. The center\u2019s original name was restored by court order, forcing President Donald Trump to remove his own name. After the removal, work crews installed giant white tarps over the front of the building, where they have remained for weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The tarps were still present at one of the last major events held at the center, a ceremony honoring comedian Bill Maher with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.<\/p>\n<p>Guest of honor Maher said the tarps were \u201chysterical,\u201d telling reporters of Trump, \u201cI mean, as much as you could try to think of his next move, you could never do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnly he could think of that. The tarp. I just never would have gone there. To me, it just makes it better and funnier, and it\u2019s a funny event celebrating funny.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maher\u2019s friend and fellow comedian Jay Leno also saw the humor in the display, calling it \u201chilarious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3057\">Scott Jennings Shamed to His Face Over Blatant McConnell Double Standard<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know what\u2019s funny? It\u2019s vanity. It\u2019s not a war, it\u2019s not people getting killed. It\u2019s not antisemitism. It\u2019s not racism. It\u2019s a silly thing covering a name. I mean, what\u2019s funnier than that? You know, it\u2019s high school with money,\u201d Leno told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s ridiculous. Like, why is that up there? I don\u2019t know why it\u2019s up there, but it makes me laugh.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In May, U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper rejected the the president\u2019s attempt to change the Center\u2019s name to include his own on the grounds that he failed to seek congressional approval.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCongress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it,\u201d Cooper wrote.<\/p>\n<p>He also charged the Kennedy Center board, which Trump stacked with his own supporters last year, with failing to do due diligence ahead of the move.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Board based its decision on an insufficient, one-sided presentation of information and neglected to consider the full range of its statutory obligations and potential adverse consequences of closure,\u201d Cooper argued.<\/p>\n<p>He also ordered that the center not be closed by July 5, which Trump had initially claimed was necessary in order to carry out repairs and renovations.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>As a result, the Post report notes, \u201cwhat\u2019s left has the air of a ghost ship\u201d as the Trump-installed board considers to what degree the center will remain open.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3055\">The Reason Why Trump Keeps Getting Worse: Wolff<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once the beating cultural heart of Washington, D.C., the Kennedy Center is now all but abandoned.
