Letter: Trump should take a lesson from Dolly

Prefer us on Google Commerce Secretary Lutnick said that President Trump would raise and endow the more than $500 million needed to renovate the Kennedy Center if he receives his name placed on the building in addition to President Kennedy's. President Trump should take a lesson from the late Dolly Parton, who donated millions of dollars to child literacy, flood relief, and medical research among other charities without insisting on having her name emblazoned on buildings. Parton did it because of her empathy for people in need. President Trump should take a page from Dolly Parton's playbook, lose the narcissism, stop threatening to demolish the Kennedy, and stop listening to his fellow billionaires, like Elon Musk who said that empathy is a fundamental weakness of Western civilization.
