Barbra Streisand criticizes Donald Trump over Kennedy Center name dispute and closure

Barbra Streisand has condemned President Donald Trump over his efforts to add his name to the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. The dispute began when Trump, as board chair, tried to rename the venue, but courts blocked the change. The center's board voted to close it, citing financial and physical issues, and Trump suggested it could be demolished. Streisand accused Trump of acting out of unchecked ego and urged Americans to vote in the upcoming midterms.
