The worst thing Trump could do right now is nothing, simply remain chair and let the center languish. He could decline to authorize budgets or renovations, leave the calendar empty or pocket plans for recovery. The center would be stuck in perpetual suspended animation, like Infrastructure Week or Trump’s oft-announced plans for a new national health care framework. Even if he steps down, boards need leadership and it will be difficult to find someone of the same caliber and gravitas as the chairman Trump forced out, David Rubenstein.
