Good.
Best to stay away from a place named after a serial adulterer and sex addict.

The Kennedy Center is slowly destroying itself, and I for one am ready to say good riddance. This year I have not renewed by season subscription or my membership and I doubt that I ever will again. (1) Their ticket prices are ridiculous. (2) They gouge for parking. (3) The National Symphony Orchestra, despite being one of the highest paid in the country, is glaringly second rate and routinely bested by visiting orchestras from smaller cities. The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra is miles ahead and where I will now be spending my money. (4) Their program selections are atrociously second-rate, boring, and exquisitely and narcissistically politically correct whenever the opportunity arises.
For the most part, the place is now a tourist rip-off and a left-coast echo chamber

Not one of them is worth his presence. Not one of them is worth $1

The point is, the Kennedy Center basically smiled at Trump and said FU.
Who has ever heard of any place saying to the POTUS “thanks for NOT coming”?
What, was he going to cause a riot? Can you imagine such disrespect given to Obama and getting a pass?

The honorees did that. The Kennedy center is just a venue.

No, the Center issued the “thank you”, not the honorees:
“Kennedy Center leaders said they were “grateful for the gesture” from the White House.
“In choosing not to participate in this year’s Honors activities, the administration has graciously signaled its respect for the Kennedy Center,” chairman David Rubenstein and President Deborah Rutter said.”
