It's been a busy weekend for Donald Trump, with the announcement of a framework deal to end the war with Iran, the World Cup in full swing in the US, the New York Knicks securing their first NBA victory in 53 years, and his 80th birthday celebrations yesterday with the controversial UFC cage fight on the White House lawn.



However, there's one embarrassing element that is literally being covered up: the removal of Trump's name from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts – the national cultural center in Washington DC.

As the new chairman of the Kennedy Center, Trump decreed that his name should be added to the venue – above that of John F. Kennedy's.

In May, US District Court Judge Christopher Cooper ruled that the venue could not be renamed without congressional approval.

The tarp is still up Monday morning at the Kennedy Center, obscuring the name of the building. The Trump administration filed paperwork saying it complied w judge’s order to remove the current president’s name.

1. For a tough guy

… he sure is a simpering cunt. *eyeroll*

[homegirl]

5. Why

do you have to denigrate women to put down Trump?

[buzzycrumbhunger]

7. Because it's exactly the thing that would piss him off the worst

He despises women. He thinks he’s a strongman but we all know he’s trying to compensate for the fact his dick can be measured in centimeters.

I don’t consider “cunt” as an insult to be equivalent to “vagina,” FWIW.

[homegirl]

8. It is

used to describe "difficult women" and whores! Now if you used it to describe Melania, even as old fashioned as I am I would not object.

[regnaD kciN]

10. FWIW, in the UK, it's a gender-neutral insult...

[efhmc]

19. Well we are not in th UK and it is one here in the USA.

[murielm99]

22. I thought that word was discouraged here,

considered as bad as the n-word. If not, it should be.

[Goonch]

2. ;-{)........

[SergeStorms]

6. Isn't that the truth!

Dozy Dementia Don would move like a teenager again if that happened.

[homegirl]

3. Fastest way...

Want to get that tarp down fast?


Don't bother projecting his image with Epstein onto it.

Shame isn't in his wheelhouse.

Jealous rage is.

Project videos of Obama.

Watch how fast it comes down.

[SergeStorms]

4. "He's acting like a 6 yr.old brat."

He's always acted like a 6 yr. old brat. Nothing new there.

If someone can erect giant golden Trump toilets, statues of Trump and Epstein holding hands, etc. on Federal property during the night and avoid arrest, why can't someone tear down that damned tarp?

I'm too old and don't climb ladders anymore or I'd do it myself. Surely some younger Democrat(s) could handle that rather simple task.

They'd certainly be doing our country a favor.

[eggplant]

12. Don't forget gold plating statues around DC...

[SeattleVet]

18. 6 year old? More like a toddler...

"mine mine mine"

[C Moon]

9. He's such a spoiled child.

[artemisia1]

11. "The loudest man in the room is the weakest man in the room." -- old proverb /nt

[pat_k]

13. 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.

I'm 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.

[electric_blue68]

14. I sure hope someone files a motion ASAP to take the tarp down!

Of course he's done far more horrific things...

But seeing his name gone (having plastered it elsewhere, or those fascistic giant banners on Federal buildings) especially the insult of having it on the Kennedy Center will be very satisfying!

TAKE IT DOWN !!!

[pat_k]

17. Please!! ASAP!!!

I fear the current litigants could be tied up writing motions on the latest unlawful actions of the "Trump Kennedy Center Board" (which doesn't f-ing exist).

The tarp coverup may be viewed as less urgent. If so, I disagree. It may seem only "symbolic" relative to the other illegal actions, but it is a BIG DEAL to the public. And it is OBVIOUSLY a big deal to the felon or he wouldn't be doing this.

[BonnieJW]

25. Someone

Should simply project the new Obama portrait onto the tarp 24/7

[ultralite001]

15. Krasnov...

Tear down that wall!!!

[Klarkashton]

16. No one can beat a Republican at the game of being a wise ass.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

20. It would be a very Trumpian thing to do...

for him to have the Board pay for erecting the scaffolding and installing the cover but not enough in the contract to remove it.....

If so, maybe that part could be crowd-funded......

[dave99]

21. just need 10 people to pull it down

FLASH MOB !

[Kablooie]

23. Actually, it's physical evidence that he failed.

That’s one thing he can never allow, evidence of his failure so he keeps it covered up.
To keep his macho macho man persona in front of his MAGA buffoons he can never allow them to see him fail.
Most things he can patch up with a lie or two but this is simply failure so he hides it from them.

[LilElf70]

24. This is a perfect example of

Once an adult(which was always questionable in this case), twice a child.

[twodogsbarking]

26. Mr. Trumpachef, tear down this tarp.

[UpInArms]

27. He's attempting a COVERUP just like the EPSTEIN FILES

28. I tried to see about asking Cong. Joyce Beatty to sue the Kennedy Center over this

Unfortunately, you can only email her if you're in her district in Ohio.
