The Trump-Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts

It wasn't enough that D. J. "Dishonest John" Trump removed and replaced the board of directors of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in February of this year, replacing them with a hand-picked list of sycophants and designating himself as the chairman — no, when it came time for the Kennedy Center Honors this year the list of honorees read like a list of "My Favorite People"...  Sylvester Stallone, Gloria Gaynor, George Strait, the rock band Kiss, and Michael Crawford.   (Wait.... Michael Crawford??   He ain't even American!!)   He ever went so far as to call them "perhaps the most accomplished and renowned class ever assembled".

But even that wasn't enough for him.   Today I awoke to find that numerous sources are reporting that the same group of lickspittles, led by the Chief Grifter himself, has voted unanimously — you know, sort of like the same way Kim Jong Un or the leader of any banana republic gets 'elected' as Supreme Ruler of their little shithole? — to rename the building as the "Trump — Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts"...   and of course, despite the fact that his knowledge of the performing arts starts with a half-assed job hosting a TV reality show and ends with a walk-on cameo in a thirty-odd year old movie that he negotiated as part of the deal to allow the filmmaker to shoot scenes in his building, the name of America's greatest embarrassment since Benedict Arnold now comes before Kennedy's.   I'm sure the new name is being installed on the facade even now — no doubt with the Trump name in faux-gold leaf and twice as large as the rest of the sign.

Well, all I can say is that when January 2029 rolls around, there's going to be a lot of metal signage and bronze placques, like the ones installed beneath the portraits of his predecessors along his 'Presidential Walk of Fame' in the corridor leading to the West Wing of the White House, that will be removed and in the hands of scrap dealers across the country.

If Trump wants his name on the Kennedy Center and his face on a US coin in circulation - we should get to assassinate him, it’s only fair. These things are the province of DEAD presidents, not the living.

I still wouldn't think him worthy of either, but the assassinating part is a good starting point.

This is now The Trump Memorial. Perhaps his minions are admitting he is already brain dead.

Did Trump's loyal handpicked Kennedy Center board that approved the name change forget that it's a memorial center'?

Not living in DC, I have never been to the Kennedy Center, but now I have a reason not to go. And no one can make the audiences (or performers for that matter go; maybe a big drop off in both will show the trustees what asses they have been.

And FWIW, no one can make anyone call it the Trump Kennedy Center; just keep calling it the Kennedy Center and leave it at that. Not anything Pumpkinhead can do about it. Just like very few call Washington National Airport "Reagan Airport".

No sense getting upset, just push back as best you can.

There are some within the current regime who do seem to be pushing back in 'under-the-radar' ways.

One of the things Trump has tried to reverse is the renaming military bases that memorialize confederate officers. One of those renamed was Ft. Robert E. Lee. It is a major training center for army procurement, logistics, supply management. The RE Lee named was changed to that of a couple of Black high ranking officers who each did miracles in logistics management. Among other things, getting us mail to front line troops during the Battle of the Bulge. (Ft Gregg-Adaams) Trump said it had to be Lee. So now it is. Renamed Ft Lee for Pvt Fitz Lee, Medal of Honor winner during the Spanish-American war for gallantry in Cuba. He also came down with a horrible case of malaria which got him blindness and a medical discharge. He died after refusal of any additional medial treatment from the VA and is buried in the Buffalo Soldiers cemetery in Ft. Leavenworth Kansas. So Ft Lee now memorializes a black Private rather than a Confederate General.
