Donald Trump’s attempt to turn the Kennedy Center into a MAGA trophy just suffered another embarrassing setback.
The Washington National Opera has filed a lawsuit demanding the return of more than $17 million, adding yet another chapter to what has become one of the most chaotic and self-inflicted culture-war disasters of Trump’s presidency.
According to the filing, money that was donated for opera performances, artists, and educational programs is now at the center of a major legal fight after Trump’s takeover sent the institution into turmoil.
