2. There was a FB post that said what he did was like putting your name on someone else's tombstone.

And I thought, yeah, that's a perfect analogy.

I AM SO SICK OF THIS BABY-MAN!!!!!

[Bettie]

36. I think of him as that bratty child

who has to run around licking everything and declaring it his.

He has that vibe.

[lame54]

3. No court order to do so...

It may be permanent

[LetMyPeopleVote]

4. Here is the filing with the court on trump's name being removed from the Kennedy Center

Link to tweet

And, there we go: “Defendants … have … Removed all physical signage on the Kennedy Center building and grounds, including the front portico, that purports to rename the Kennedy Center after President Trump or any other individual besides President Kennedy.”

No mention of the tarp

[Bluetus]

41. "If my name can't be on it, then nobody's name will be visible"

Will the judge now have to roder the tarp removed? What a bunch of chickenshits these people are.

[young_at_heart]

5. So much stress has been caused by "him": plus, "What will the total cost be?"

Do the American people have to pay for his personal vanity project? This whole fiasco has caused so much stress. One thought comes to my mind...."I want my country back!"

[forgotmylogin]

14. I just saw a video that said the removal will actually cost more than putting it up.

Because they drilled holes in the Italian marble sheathing that surrounds the building and that's got to be fixed.

I was secretly hoping somehow they just hot-glued plastic letters on knowing it was temporary.

[forgotmylogin]

15. We've already got to pay to fix the East Wing which didn't need replacement.

Unless they want to just rename it The Donald J Trump^(And Melania Trump) Memorial Hole.

[BComplex]

43. Or the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom.

After all, that was a big reason it was built, so that people would have something else to be creeped out about.

[forgotmylogin]

53. I hope it doesn't become a ballroom.

The WH doesn't need a ballroom - or not one that takes up the entire East Wing.

[LSparkle]

44. I want my country AND my birthday back

I’m ashamed to tell people my birthday when I go to the doctor nowadays 😢. Thankfully I celebrated yesterday with a momentous win for the Knicks!!!! 🥳🎂

[Easterncedar]

6. A tarp is covering the sign on the Edmund Muskie Federal Building

Here in Augusta, Maine. Of course the mango menace has to remove a Democrat's name.

[Easterncedar]

7. You know he's removed FDR from the new dimes, right?

[dweller]

12. Just for 2026

For the 250 anniversary Liberty profile .
FDR will return in 2027
hopefully , because you never know what the Pisswig will do

😑




✌🏻

[calimary]

35. If it doesn't happen then, I bet the next Democratic president takes care of it.

From what I've observed through the years, Democrats usually at least try to do the right thing.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

8. trump covering up the Kennedy Center wall doesn't mean we don't know what happened in there

The same goes for the Epstein files.

[Blue Owl]

9. This is the least of his many problems

When is he going to jail for his many crimes??????

[mdbl]

21. Question of the Century!

It's long overdue.

[Girard442]

30. How confident are we that name is really gone?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

31. Someone snuck a photo

[Liberal In Texas]

46. That does not look like a recent picture. That's when they were putting the abomination ON the building.

Those green things are the cherry pickers. The tarp is blue, not white and striped.

[Blue Full Moon]

10. Odds they took Kennedy's name off instead.

[wnylib]

11. My take on it is that he complied with the order

Last edited Sat Jun 13, 2026, 03:41 PM - Edit history (1)

to remove his name, but deliberately left JFK's name covered so nobody can see that name. Since the court order did NOT anticipate and specify that he must leave the Kennedy name visible, he is playing a childish game. "If You can't see MY name there, you won't see HIS name there, either.

Storms and strong winds might take down the tarp, or tear it in pieces. But perhaps we need another court order for him to remove the tarp.

What a disgusting POS he is.

[ChicagoTeamster]

13. He doesn't want it reported on his birthday. I hope someone sneaks in and tears it down and takes a picture or video and

sends it to every major news outlet

[Buns_of_Fire]

16. The signage is gone but the tarp may have to remain a little longer

while Jon McNaughton completes his new mural on that great, marble canvas - his masterpiece, greater than Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel - of Rump descending the stairway to heaven. You don't want to spoil the grand unveiling, do you?

(Remember, the court order addresses signage, not great works of art.)

Note: If my sick mind can envision this, it's entirely possible that their sicker minds have already thought of it and are arranging it.

[calimary]

25. Seems to me if he's "descending the stairway", it won't be leading him up to Heaven.

“Descending”, as I learned in Catholic school, is what you do when you’re NOT going to Heaven.

[Buns_of_Fire]

28. Think of him "descending the golden escalator." God's gift to mankind.

In the same way that genital warts could also be considered a gift from God to mankind, I suppose. It's probably best not to explore the depths too deep. In that way leads madness.

[AverageOldGuy]

17. In the end . . .

. . . it all come down to a bunch of guys in yellow safety vests who do actual labor for a living having to stay up all night because one privileged loser moron was elected by a few million other morons.

I wish there were some way to recognize the workers from last night.

[MineralMan]

18. That sounds about right...

[GoCubsGo]

19. Until they do, use it as a projection screen,

as was suggested in another discussion. Project Epstein-related photos, photos of gas pumps with prices, shots of his cankles...

[MineralMan]

20. Very good idea. Now, if someone can get it done.

Getting access to power could be an issue. I think they'd shut down any generators that got fired up.

[AllaN01Bear]

22. mr trump, take this tarp down.

[mobeau69]

51. Mr. Trumpachev, take down this tarp.

[FadedMullet]

23. That word "Memorial" really does add context, doesn't it?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

24. Someone snuck this photo

[calimary]

34. Is that what I think it is?

The "last D"?

[electric_blue68]

37. That's sure seems what it looks like! 😄

[Liberal In Texas]

47. Again. That is NOT a shot from the last few days. That was when they were putting the crap ON the building!

Green cherry pickers. Blue tarps.

[AnnaLee]

26. Never mind, my bad. I assume someone actually confirmed that it is gone.

They may have had a duplicate to show and used the tarp to hide the non-removed original. I'm sure someone got to actually look behind the tarp. If it was removed, did they leave the removed letters on the floor of the platform or actually remove it and take it away?

[mercuryblues]

27. It will take a court order

Yes, trump is that petty.

[spanone]

29. Are they keeping people away? Can't someone take a picture? Media?

[snot]

32. My town has a law against

naming any public facility, street, etc. for anyone who's still alive.

Why don't we at least have a law against federal officials naming things for themselves while they're still in office?

[MineralMan]

33. Good question!

[RandomNumbers]

55. Um ... so if there WERE such law ... would it matter?

Doesn't seem to me that TSF has let any laws get in his way so far.

Although that would certainly be a good law to have... but one would hope the electorate would be decent enough to make it unnecessary. (sigh...)

[dave99]

38. Want shitstain stressed and dead

[Beartracks]

39. But then the world could see, and Trump would have a sad. :(

[Akakoji]

40. This is brilliant!

[C Moon]

42. He is in love with his own birthday, so he wants that tarp to remain there. I'll bet it comes down on Monday.

[dalton99a]

45. "If I can't have it, nobody can"

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

48. I hope the tarp is there for a good reason, ...

... maybe there are anchor holes where the letter used to be. The tarp may be protecting the filler material until it sets.

Possible?

[pat_k]

49. Of course not. He just doesn't want to see it on his birthday.

And I'm sure part of the deal to extend the ceasefire is that it is signed on his birthday.

When it's not, he'll have a tantrum and it will probably fall apart.

[LSparkle]

52. Warning: My Tantrum Alert

Fuck him! As the Beatles sang:

“You say it’s your birthday
IT’S MY BIRTHDAY TOO YEAH”

I’m sick of having to celebrate on another day just because Assclown Fuckface has SUCKED all of the joy out of June 14 and turned it into a day of shame.

Rant off. I’m going to listen to Frank Zappa music all day long ... LOUD!

[pat_k]

56. Hey, perhaps tune into Rise Up Sing Out? (live at 7:00 ET)

https://www.youtube.com/live/Uxap5XA61ng

And happy birthday -- whenever you celebrate it!!

[MineralMan]

50. Could be. Or, it could just be spite on Trump's part.

I don't know. We'll find out eventually.

[radical noodle]

54. Who wants to bet

that he wants to take Kennedy's name off too?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

57. MaddowBlog-Crews removed Trump's name from the Kennedy Center, but hid results from the public

The removal of the president’s name was poised to be a symbolically significant event. His team, however, preferred a literal cover-up.

https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trump-kennedy-center-name-removed-cover-up

Late last week, the administration made several last-ditch efforts to halt implementation of the ruling before the court-imposed deadline, but to no avail. MS NOW reported:

The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has been restored to its original name.

President Donald Trump’s name was officially cleared from the marble façade of the storied cultural institution on Saturday, the Kennedy Center said, after last-minute attempts by the Trump administration to delay a federal judge’s ruling that the name cannot be changed.

There’s still some legal wrangling on the horizon, but at this point, it’s worth pausing to note how exactly the Kennedy Center was restored to its legal name.

On Friday, a crowd assembled to watch crews remove Trump’s name from the wall, and while I wasn’t personally there, by all accounts, the audience was prepared to celebrate a good show. The Washington Post reported, “The atmosphere was festival-like: People brought their dogs, their partners and their children.”....

But as of late Sunday, the public still wasn’t allowed to see the work that had been done.

Workers are adding a curtain obstructing the view of the removal of Donald Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center

The removal of Trump’s name was poised to be a symbolically significant event. The authoritarian-minded leader, fixated on self-glorification, tried to force his name onto a memorial for a celebrated assassinated president, a court instead upheld the law, and a crowd assembled to watch the crew precisely because of the indelible images that would soon emerge.

But Trump’s team, no doubt mindful of the circumstances, preferred a literal cover-up.

It’s something to keep in mind the next time White House officials boast about the president and his administration enthusiastically embracing “transparency.”

As for the future of the Kennedy Center, the president’s appointees at the venue announced over the weekend that they had established the Trump Kennedy Center Fund, which will purportedly help raise money for the center. Trump, the appointees added, will be the chairman.

trump is a baby. There is no way that his name will be put back onto this building without an act of congress.
