A chunk of ceiling plaster crashed onto the red carpet at the Kennedy Center during a storm, sparking renewed calls for the venue to shut down for $250 million in renovations — a move long pushed by its chairman. Though no one was hurt, the incident is being weaponized by advocates to justify closure, despite a recent court ruling blocking the shutdown and rejecting the addition of the chairman’s name to the building’s facade. The board recently voted to reinstate the controversial inscription “Restored and Renovated By President Donald J. Trump,” with the Justice Department claiming donations could vanish without it. Critics also note the removal of a provocative outdoor sculpture, raising eyebrows about whether this ceiling mishap is being used as a pretext for more drastic changes.
