(Several entrepreneurial options have been advanced. National lotteries, offering entrants a chance to swing a sledgehammer or wield a pickax, all proceeds to go to charity, or towards funding parts of the government decimated by DOGE.

JFK's Niece Kerry Kennedy Vows to Remove Trump's Name from the Kennedy Center with a 'Pickax'

Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy and JFK's niece, took to X after photos of the new addition went public.

"Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder," she wrote. "Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!"
