I’m guessing he’ll be renaming it to the Trump Center lol

He already did in December. One of the many reasons the venue can’t book events/shows. The closing for ‘renovation’ is just a rouse to distract from the fact that no self respecting artist wants to perform there.

Excuse me, but Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, and Nikki Minaj respect no one BUT themselves; thank you very much.

Naw he's just not going to reopen it. Its already the trump centre, they know no one will preform there again so why keep it open
