Rhetorical question?
Perhaps. His narcissism is just so blatant; how do they not see it?
I think they see it just fine. They just don’t care.
The Trump-Lincoln Memorial, the Trump-Johnson Space Center, The City of Trump-Washington, DC. The only one I’ll be happy to see is Trump-Grant’s Tomb.
The Donald Trump-Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport? Or perhaps the Donald Trump-John F. Kennedy International Airport?
And have the huge JFK bust removed along with all his quotes and large photographs that decorate the center’s interior.
I read that as not a memorial to Kennedy, but rather the the arts that used to be performed there…
Actually, the Kennedy Center used to be Lincoln Center, IIRC. Maybe Trump wants to be assassinated like those two were.
I never recall it being called the Lincoln Center.
I believe it had more of a generic name and was named after Kennedy after his assassination.
It was originally called the National Cultural Center.
No, you’re right. Brain spasm. Lincoln Center is in New York.
This is the million dollar question. I only have two possible answers. The first is they genuinely don’t see who Trump really is. In which case they are fools. The second is they understand exactly who Trump is and they support him anyway. In which case they’re evil.
Let’s strip it of all names and go back to that. Or just go all in already and sell the naming rights to the highest bidder.
I’m delighted the current board hasn’t gotten around to rewriting the website, because it explains exactly why it should stay The Kennedy Center.
In 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed bipartisan legislation creating a National Cultural Center in the nation’s capital. In November of 1962, President and Mrs. Kennedy launched a $30 million fundraising campaign for the Center’s construction. Former President Eisenhower and his wife Mamie participated in the event which demonstrated the bipartisan support for a world-class center for the performing arts in D. C. In 1963, President Kennedy signed legislation to extend the fundraising deadline for the Center.
Two months after President Kennedy’s assassination, by an Act of Congress signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on January 23, 1964, the nation’s National Cultural Center was designated as a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy. By this Act, President Kennedy’s devotion to the advancement of the performing arts in the United States was recognized.
If anything, it should have been renamed the Eisenhower-Kennedy Center after Eisenhower died in 1969.
What will be the ultimate cost of removing/replacing all the Trumpian “improvements”/renamings during this Administration?
It’d be swell if private donations could be used to dismantle or repurpose his ballroom and the Rose Garden uber-patio. Removing jeering plaques from Presidential portraits and going back to original names, i.e. the Gulf of Mexico, Defense Department, Kennedy Center etc. will cost some $$ for website reworking, letterheads etc., but nothing like spending for major construction/refurbishing.
Possibly the ballroom could be subdivided into working spaces for the kinds of “woke” causes that would infuriate MAGA, and/or a museum dedicated to victims of tyranny.
The only thing left named after Trump should be a simple portrait in a White House corridor, adjacent to those of lesser Presidents like James Buchanan and Warren Harding.
It’s still the Department of Defense, even though the current crew is ignoring that fact.
The ballroom will not require subdivision, as it will never be completed.
Trump had a patio poured in the rose garden.
That’s his achievement in building things.
That’s what this writer thinks, too:
What’s next, DJT renaming RFK Jr as Robert Trump-Kennedy?
And here we are:
He’s no more than a tagger who happens to have authority thanks to every Republican you know. Please never forget to blame them.
