What the Kennedy Center really needs? A marina

What the Kennedy Center really needs? A marina

One of the new Trumpist on the board of the Washington Performing Arts Center has been blue-sky thinking with the NY Times.

Businessman Paolo Zampolli, who claims to have introduced Trump to his present wife Melania, suggests the following:

‘We can franchise the Kennedy Center’s name in Europe and Asia and the Middle East, like the Louvre does in Abu Dhabi. That would be lucrative.

‘You can build a marina. I’m convinced it would be terrific. The Kennedy Center is very difficult to access. You put in a little marina, and on the weekend you go there — the yachts park there. You go to a beautiful restaurant. It will be a beautiful experience…

‘It’s shocking how many people have no idea about the Kennedy Center or how to even get there. Everybody in Milan knows about La Scala. Some people don’t even know where the Kennedy Center is.’
