As @Johnny_L.A indicated, that’s a fair first thought.
A good second thought, on the topic of “damages” suffered by the Center from the cancellation, is that the concert was FREE:

Oh but the reputational damage! The defamation! trump is suing the BBC for several billions for something like that I understand, so Chuck Redd is in trouble.
But as he has got nothing to lose I hope he pushes back hard and kicks them hard in the balls.
We can sue for political stunts? Okay, great! I hereby sue Trump for his most recent thousand political stunts. Times one million…hmm… I believe I’m owed ONE BILLION DOLLARS! Yay!
To DJT: Have your last fucking Christmas.
But… but… but… What about the huge financial loss from the concession stands?
And merch! Og only knows how many “DONALD J TRUMP and john f kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts Jazz Concert” t-shirts they’d already made up.
I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’m going to say it again. The felon colors himself the way he does because he thinks the Sun is that color and he believes everything revolves around him. Also, he adores dictators, the birthday for one actually called Day of the Sun. Since that particular dictator is also the eternal president, of course the felon is going to love that date. Too bad for the felon it’s in April.
Personally, I think this could fit very well under FOFA or the Schadenfreude thread, but since it’s all because of fealty to the felon, here it lands.
It’s quite the read. And if you’re still supporting any legislator who caved to the felon, you’re 100% complicit in this destruction of the basic American governing ideals.
Some governments are so over the felon’s antics. (The bolding is mine.)
Take another gander at the part I bolded above. The felon has created that very thing in the United States.
Hold onto your seats, folks! Gloria Allred has a cognitive test of her own for Rip van Simple.
Logic is, of course, a completely foreign concept to RvS. But I’m sure we can count on another late night meltdown from the Orange Throne Room toot sweet.
A move from the good old days really triggered someone in the felon’s flock of fools.
The best response to that vitriol is this from the same link.
I remember living on military bases overseas during my time in service and also when I visit such bases these days. One often-shown “spot” (in lieu of commercials) on Armed Forces Network stations has a service member mumbling to themselves (themself?), “The commander isn’t going to like this”. This goes on for about 25 seconds, then the narrator reads the text shown in the sport about not withholding information, and finally the service member reports the facts.
The only thing preventing me from saying we have a monarchy right now is the felon’s second term theoretically has an ending date. Why do I say that? The Supreme Court grants him most of his wishes; Congress is now trying to show they have a spine and are not under his control; and he completely ignores the consitutition and even people in his administration who are supposed to guide him on legalites.
Come January 20, 2029, I’ll revisit my stance.
Rip van Simple is bragging about how he saved so much money.
Let me help you out here Rip. You put more than a quarter million Americans out of work. You can put that accomplishment right next to the million Americans you got dead during the Pandemic. But, hey, I’ve a question for you. If those jobs shouldn’t’ve existed in the first place, why didn’t you eliminate them the first time you were disgracing the Oval Office?
And here’s yet another reason why you don’t commit a war crime.
Do you remember those horribly persecuted white South African refugees?
Trump’s decision to move marijuana to Schedule III apparently resulted in an Oval Office shouting match between Mike Johnson, Dr. Oz, and the sheriff of Bradford County, FL.
Did I read that right — the sheriff of a rural Florida county (and home to the Florida State Prison) was in favor of rescheduling?
Watch out for falling pig doots.
Apparently so.
I question the use of the term “monarchy” here, for several reasons. First, there’s no real sense that anyone in Trump’s family is seriously considered as an heir to his seat in the Oval Office; questions of succession are consistently about which ghoul in his inner circle will be able to consolidate and maintain power upon his exit from this world. Second, historically, the absolute monarch who operates with zero constraints on authority is kind of a rarity, so it doesn’t feel to me like a good match for what Trump and his minions are trying to construct. Third, I myself live in a modern monarchy, but it’s a constitutional monarchy where the government and legislature are chosen by the people in free elections while the person on the throne is explicitly a figurehead with no power. There are, in other words, many kinds of monarchies, so the word itself needs further qualification.
The closest modern equivalent to what the Trump Gang is pursuing is probably Tajikistan — an unchallenged unitary executive combined with an overpowering cult of personality. Of course, they’re also uneducated, uninformed morons who couldn’t find Tajikistan on a map and wouldn’t know the difference between Emomali Rahmon and Rahm Emanuel, so in their minds they’re more likely aiming for something between Putin in Russia and the Kim clan in North Korea. Neither of these is considered a monarchy (and this even though the Kims have established a multi-generational family dynasty).
I’m willing to hear your argument to the contrary, but on its face I think “monarchy” feels like the wrong word for the imminent American dictatorship.
The only way to keep le traître orange from leaking any details to anyone is to accompany him to the golden throne room in the wee hours of the morning and slap that fucking phone out of his dinky digits.
I agree with everything you say. I claim “American usage”. Even if there’s no such thing regarding the word in question! 
Does his Orangeness have a Groom of the Stool already? That took longer than I thought.
The Groom of the Stool was a male servant in the household of the English monarch who was responsible for assisting the king in his toileting needs. It is a matter of some debate as to whether the duties involved cleaning the king’s anus, but the groom is known to have been responsible for supplying a bowl, water and towels and also for monitoring the king’s diet and bowel movements and liaising with the Royal Doctor about the king’s health. The appellation “Groom of the Close Stool” derived from the item of furniture used as a toilet.
Such utter passivity!
Being “concerned” isn’t even a thing. It’s a declaration of voluntary impotence.
Make America Chang Again!
Depends
The title cutoff in the article preview amuses me. Leaking what? Being trump, it could be any number of things.
Reminds me of when aides felt compelled to restrain and walk back Ronald Reagan’s move toward abolishing nuclear weapons, during a meeting with Gorbachev in Iceland.
I’m guessing he’s taking lessons in brow-furrowing from Sen. Collins.
Trump’s left hand is starting to show discoloration now as well, and the right is looking even worse.
He’s starting to look like the guy in a zombie movie who got bitten half an hour ago and hasn’t told anyone yet.
