Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

According to the report in the United States newspaper on Sunday, the institution's board of trustees, of which President Donald Trump is the chairman, has argued that putting the president's name on the facade could be the only way to avoid imminent and "certain fiscal collapse".

From the little I read, it's bankrupt because people have boycotted it since the name change, and now Trump is saying that the only way to save it is to change the name so he can do a fundraiser (makes no sense). Just a complete load of shit, total scam, nothing more.

Just another result of conservative "leadership". Conservatism should be a disqualifier for any positions of leadership or government.

Of course it is. Trump bankrupts everything. From a casino to the entire US

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

At least 4 casinos, maybe more

Don't seem to recall financial issues in 2024, what incompetent moron has bankrupted a federally funded arts center? Ohhhhh

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago

I'll give you 47 guesses who. Shouldn't take you more than 45 though.

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (2 children)

a spokesperson for the centre blamed the problems on “financial mismanagement by previous leadership”

It's obviously Biden's fault.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago

But putting Trump's name on it would magically clear up this financial mismanagement.

maybe the board should fire its chairman..

..and then themselves, after reinstating its former board members.

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 8 points 10 hours ago

They literally tank everything good on purpose.

He's gonna tear it down. The replacement will have his name on it.

[–] areakode@riskeratspizza.com 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

And it will be gold... 🤢

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 hours ago

...painted plastic.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

At this point I'd rather the monuments of DC be demolished than receive Trump's pedophile touch. They all feel so tainted, and most honor horrible men to begin with.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago

So much winning.

[–] susieq0044@sh.itjust.works 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Seems I need to get more popcorn.

[–] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 2 points 11 hours ago

Maybe the popcorn needs to be delivered to the White House, Real Genius style
