A Tarp Still Blocks The Kennedy Center’s Sign—Days After Trump’s Name Was Removed

The tarp is still up as of Monday morning, according to Fox 5 D.C., which reported live from outside the center around 8:30 a.m. EST.

Forbes has reached out to the Kennedy Center for comment on when the tarp will be removed.


No comment from Trump's sychophants, but I'm pretty sure the big blubbery baby man will make sure it says up until ordered by a court to take it down.

The reason is that he is a narcissistic psychopath who cannot accept any kind of loss. If he, and the public, can't see the center without his name the fact it has been removed isn't REAL.

Added on edit: I am also sure he believes he will ultimately prevail and thinks he can keep the tarp up until his name is put back.

Sooner or later I imagine someone will file a motion to take the damn things down. The whole case is about the importance of public institution names. And integral to that importance is that the public SEEs the name.
