Democrats have their lowest approval rating ever at 18 percent, as we reported earlier this week.
It’s not hard to see why, when you look at their behavior. They seem completely focused on hating Trump, and not doing anything productive. The latest subject of ire is the Kennedy Center. They were out of their minds after the board voted to add President Donald Trump’s name to the center because of his efforts to help restore it.
“Journalist” Jim Acosta didn’t even pretend to be any objectivity and threw a huge tantrum on Friday. He announced that the “sh**” was “coming down” as soon as Trump’s team finished. He got a brutal education from center president Rick Grinnell, including how to restore the building and put the finances in much better shape (after they had done record fundraising). Acosta did not care about this reality; His narrative attacking Trump did not help.

So, of course, instead of thanking Trump, they invited a small group of people to protest the name change.
Guess who was there? Margarita Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s friend, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), bemoaned the “horror” and “desecration.” Van Hollen said it’s just a matter of when Trump’s name will be removed from the building.
Today I joined patriots at the Kennedy Center to make clear that Trump’s desecration of the center will not continue. It’s not a question of if his name will come down, but when. We will not allow him to plunder what the American people own. pic.twitter.com/3K4NvmMUV1

Here’s the thought. Perhaps it was desecration to leave it in disrepair. Why didn’t they care? If Trump doesn’t care about the arts, as Van Hollen claims, why would he bother renovating the center?
Trump’s efforts against “our democracy”? Senator, what were you doing when you pushed for the return of an illegal alien to our country? This X user had the right idea for Van Hollen:
What about the Abrego Garcia Kennedy Center? Which is better? pic.twitter.com/62ok5wVGNz

Did Van Hollen care about any of the harmful effects illegal immigration would have on our country? Van Hollen has no credibility to comment on anything after what he did.
These are the Democrats, they are not working to lower prices, they are just working to attack Trump. They have to fight no matter what he does, no matter what.
Oh, and yes, it was a serious protest.
We noted how they set a fundraising record for the tribute event at the Kennedy Center. But that was not all, said Trump Kennedy Center Vice President of Public Relations Roma Dharavi. He explained. She said Trump was Up $131 million in private and corporate donations; The President even convinced Congress to provide funds for much-needed infrastructure needs.
So, Democrats can keep throwing fits, but Trump will keep addressing the issues and making things better.
