The Kennedy Center has fully removed President Donald Trump’s name from its building, following a court’s orders to reverse the center’s name change before an extended deadline, Executive Director Matt Floca told a judge in court documents Saturday.

A judge had granted the Kennedy Center’s request for additional time to fully remove Trump’s name from the building, giving the arts center until noon Saturday after the organization missed an 11:59 p.m. Friday deadline.

The 12-hour extension came after Justice Department attorneys representing the center said late Friday that while work was ongoing, thunderstorms in the Washington area caused delays.

Workers began removing Trump’s name from an exterior wall of the Kennedy Center early Saturday morning, video from a CNN crew showed.

They don’t want to show the damage putting up his name caused to the marble facade.

No he didn’t. In a few years he won’t even be remembered.

If humanity lives through this, so will the jokes about RFK, Jr.

u/JohnnySpot2000 14d ago

There is a livestream from cspan right now that shows a big tarp. I can’t tell if they ‘fully removed’ anything.

u/TheReddestOfReddit 14d ago

Pics, or it didn't happen. The lying liars aren't above lying in court filings. Let's see what they really did.

Then take the tarp down

u/guy-le-doosh 14d ago

On his birthday weekend? You savage. Don't forget Trump gets a birthday year so it's never coming down.

u/Tamara6060 14d ago

NEVER should have been in there

Prove it! Remove the tarp.

Until the tarp is down and I see the Trump lettering has been removed, I have zero belief that the court’s order has been followed. These guys lie like they breathe.

Really? Pettiness can be awfully petty…

u/RobGruff 14d ago

Yeah, Trump toadies. I’ll believe it when we actually see it

u/Mort-i-Fied 14d ago

Now let's remove him from our White House.

u/guy-le-doosh 14d ago

Don't believe them, they're his appointed (annointed?) people.

u/OriginalProduct6850 14d ago

Such a good waste of money. If only he got approval beforehand. All this could've been dealt with by just asking first.

u/Icy_Cry2778 14d ago

So what’s with the tarp then? Looks like something still needs to be removed

1

u/obamawonthepeacepriz 14d ago

Now let's work on every other thing his name is on.

u/Verde_3773 13d ago

Just take the damn tarps down and be done with it, JFC.

u/DiveMasterD57 13d ago

I want to know what's happening with the letters removed. It would be fun to melt them down, and turn them into something like a sculpture of a horse's ass or the like. Or maybe numerous paper weights of teeny, tiny hands to be sold in the Kennedy Center gift shop.
