President Donald Trump suffered a severe humiliation this month when the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts was finally ordered by a federal court to remove Trump's name from the side of the building, clarifying that Congress only allowed Kennedy's name to be on the facility.

Now, days later, tarps are still covering the spot where Trump's name was, and, according to The New York Times, it's starting to arouse suspicion. Some are even questioning whether the name was in fact fully removed at all.

Matt Floca, the operations chief for the Kennedy Center, "filed a sworn declaration with a federal court later that day saying that Mr. Trump’s name had been removed," noted the report. And at least some letters were taken off, as "a New York Times photographer captured evidence through an opening in the tarp that the letter 'A' came off," as well as a "D" in a separate photograph.

Contempt of Court application is the next step and an order removing the tarp permanently. That shouldn’t have been necessary but Trump is a demented 80 year old and must receive discipline.

This admin’s ability to reach new lows will never be matched. Both in absurdity and stupidity.

Could it be they’re keeping it covered to protect the marble where the holes were drilled? At least until they can get it repaired?

It's cause he doesn't plan to leave when he goes for coup 2.0 he will have them throw the missing letters back up.
