The Kennedy Center’s board voted Thursday to inscribe President Donald Trump’s name into the storied building’s white marble facade and proceed with a lengthy shutdown of the venue to accommodate an extensive $250 million renovation project, according to ex officio member Rep. Joyce Beatty.
The decision comes just months after a judge ruled that separate signage bearing the president’s name had to be taken off the building’s marquee. The new inscription will test the order, though due to ongoing litigation the judge has the power to delay the projects.
The board, which Trump fired en masse last year and restocked with allies, voted to close the center’s main building, while The Reach, a newer expansion to the facility, will remain open for limited events. It will also serve as a memorial to former President John F. Kennedy.
No wonder the tarp never came down.
Wipe out the last 40 years of heritage foundation rot, or we may as well kiss this shitty country good bye
I have ideas about what to do with Heritage Foundation HQ. Like providing a fine display of whimsical pyrotechnics, while all of their top reps and billionaire friends are inside having a wonderful “charity gala.” My, they’ll never taste such fine caviar again!
Oh no not the shitty country that attacks me and my people daily!
Whoa, hey now, watch your tone when you talk about the country that elected an ancient felonious pedophile to its highest office not once, but two times, because he didn’t get enough crimes done the first time.
