Trump’s name is off the Kennedy Center. A judge wants to know why it’s covered up
The Kennedy Center had until June 12 at midnight to strip the president’s name from the building, but construction crews in hard hats and neon green high-vis vests only started to assemble scaffolding to reach the letters that afternoon.
That midnight deadline came and went without any letters removed from the building.
Cooper and a panel of appeals court judges denied the administration’s 11th-hour attempts to keep Trump’s name on the facade, and workers began adding a tarp to the towering scaffolding shortly after 1 a.m..
Workers eventually began removing letters at 3 a.m. June 13.
But the scaffolding and tarp are still in place.

Yes.
THANK YOU.
We need that tarp torn down and we need the tearing down filmed.
Same with those ridiculous banners of him hanging up. Who the fuck does he even think he is?

Hope He gets to walk in his shoes in my lifetime
That gas station would get my business for life
Because he's a petty piece of chit
because protecting a child rapist ego is the highest priority of the entire government of the US of A
That's just so childish and petty. "Oh I can't have my name on there? WELL THEN NOBODY CAN!"
Has trump ever done anything not describable as "childish and petty"? The fact that anyone supports the shitstain is such an embarrassment.
It would be great to get an answer to that, but:
Seriously? Why give them over a month to answer such a simple question?
Apparently, because there was already an order for a report from the Kennedy center due at that time. And the Kennedy center not being POTUS is one major point of the lawsuit.

They're the bandaid poorly covering up the bleeding gash in the narcissist's ego.
I've read a few biographies of JFK and man he did plenty of underhanded stuff, but he is a saint compared with the current bozo.
They're probably using it to cover up all the damage they caused.
It's going to be such a shitty patch job too.
I think his staffers never told him about the court ruling, and instead they've told him they are replacing all the dull lettering with 'classy' gold lettering. And now they don't know how to tell him the truth. So they are stalling by leaving the tarps up there.
"I'm sorry, sir. It seems we've used all the gold in the world on your Trump Mobile phones. That isn't a bad thing. The phones were biggly successful. Everyone has one. Putin has two. But, we're going to have to use a new, even more expensive metal for your name. It's called Invisbium. Only the most powerful people in the world can even see it. I can't see it. I'm sure you can, though, sir."
Ooh, Trump wants to be greater than an emperor with snazzy clothes?
Let’s create a custom metal for him called Trumpium, that just happens to be VERY expensive to make, super lightweight, and totally invisible to anyone loyal to him.
Turnp be line I’m here to shit my pants and be a giant baby and I have great news on both of those fronts
