The Kennedy Center’s board voted Thursday to inscribe President Donald Trump’s name into the storied building’s white marble facade and proceed with a lengthy shutdown of the venue to accommodate an extensive $250 million renovation project, according to ex officio member Rep. Joyce Beatty.
The decision comes just months after a judge ruled that separate signage bearing the president’s name had to be taken off the building’s marquee. The new inscription will test the order, though due to ongoing litigation the judge has the power to delay the projects.
The board, which Trump fired en masse last year and restocked with allies, voted to close the center’s main building, while The Reach, a newer expansion to the facility, will remain open for limited events. It will also serve as a memorial to former President John F. Kennedy.
No wonder the tarp never came down.
Holy shit. He wasn’t allowed to change it’s name so he’s doing to have his lackeys carve his name into the the side of the building instead.
Nothing happening in the US is sane. This person should have been removed from power by the other branches of government a long time ago. The government is nonfunctional to the point I’m very honestly worried that the Democrats sweeping the midterms won’t make any difference.
Republicans aren’t leaving. Regardless of the election outcome, they are there to stay. You just realized this?!
Somewhere a sitout is still complaining about a war and a womans funny laugh.
