President Donald Trump cited renovation costs and efforts put forward by his administration as reasons for why his name should be on the Kennedy Center.⁠
⁠
His comments come after fencing went up Wednesday around the main Kennedy Center building. The fencing went up a day after the Trump-aligned board voted to close most of the performing arts center for repairs.⁠
⁠
"I think that the Trump administration should certainly have recognition because, frankly, if we don't do that, it's going to close. It'll end up being ripped down," Trump said. ⁠
