Well, he's finally accomplished something.

[madamesilverspurs]

Trump has officially erased the difference between self-aggrandizement and defecating in public.

[Silent Type]

1. Beginning to hope he's putting his name on everything because docs have given him only a few more months.

[wcmagumba]

3. Oh man, I wish he would just croak and go away. We'll clean up afterwards and delete all his trash...

[Blues Heron]

2. Such a sicko move. Desecrating a memorial to an assassinated US president.

[Boomerproud]

4. The workers who participated in putting that name on the building should be ashamed.

nt

[maxrandb]

6. The workers should be outed and shunned

When the fascists stop following the law, it's time to take the fight to those that support, fund and enable the fascists.

So fucking tired of hearing; "hey, I'm just doing my job" and "sure, I voted Retrumplican, but I only support some of the depraved shit they are doing".

It's kind of like saying, "I'm not a Nazi, I only support, vote, work for and fund the Nazis".

[snowybirdie]

8. And get fired

right before Christmas. Kind of Grinchy, doncha think? Merry Christmas and a Better New year!

[Beartracks]

27. Don't they, too, have the obligation to not follow unlawful orders?

[RandomNumbers]

33. I doubt those workers have a whole lot of power

in this situation.

Sure, defy your boss and lose your job right before Christmas? Over something that while nauseating, in the overall scheme of horrible going on in this country, is miniscule?

What Trump did is hugely important only because it is so emblematic of what is wrong with him ... important to the extent that it extends the sense of revulsion of the cretinous felon to ever more people ... but it's a name on a building, not people dying from losing health care or kids going hungry without SNAP, or people suffering and dying in inhumane conditions of ICE custody.

So if visibility of the absolute over-the-top narcissistic bullshit of TSF is actually a benefit to fixing the REAL problems that are hurting and killing people - yeah I've got nothing against the workers who followed orders in this case.

[Dave Bowman]

5. The moron believes that having the Kennedy name next to his gives him some prestige/respectability. Probably why he

included Junior in his maladministration.

[QueerDuck]

7. I'm going to be sick. Even after it's removed, the "shadow" and drill holes will still remain as an ugly reminder.

[wcmagumba]

11. It can be repaired so nothing of t-rump's essence remains...imo

[PatSeg]

9. That is obscene

[canetoad]

10. Lettering

Doesn't match. Like everything he does, close enough is good enough.

[William Seger]

12. I'm expecting him to brag that his letters are platinum (nt)

[AZ8theist]

13. Yes, his name is SMALLER...

Surprised the ketchup doesn't hit the wall when he sees his name is SMALLER than JFK's......

[flashman13]

19. I'm betting when he realizes he will tear them off and put on letters bigger than Kennedy - in fake gold of course.

He is a total asshat!

[crud]

14. I noticed that right away

They are probably trying to be respectful by not making it much larger than the original sign and gold leafed.

[ToxMarz]

16. I noticed that too, and TSF's letters are LESS bold

I immediately thought that would have to be redone to satisfy him.

[reACTIONary]

24. At least they are not....

.... gold plated.

[Envirogal]

15. My name is RFK Jr., and I approve of this message.

Frog throat has been such a toadie for this traitor, I am sure he is fine with this desecration of his uncle and the family legacy as a whole.

Christmas gatherings were already going to be AWKWARD but this latest alignment with the Sherbert Pervert might get him and the wifey uninvited.

[ToxMarz]

17. They should all be charged with vandalism

[11 Bravo]

18. The key word in the building's name is "Memorial".

If the miserable, shit-munching motherfucker agrees to eat a bullet, then I'll agree to append "Trump" to the name of the Center when I speak of it ... for one time, and one time only.

[godsentme]

20. Last night on Stephen Colbert show...

Colbert said that by the time trump is done, he will have rubbed his balls on everything. I'm so thankful for late night comedians. They turn hideous abominations into laughter.

[Sancho]

21. Can we name every trash dump and hell hole in the US "trump"???

1.) Trash dumps
2.) Dried up rivers
3.) Unused boarder crossings
4.) Abandoned airstrips

.....you get the idea. Let's just put the name and "coat of arms" on every dumbass location in America to remind everyone not to ever let it happen again.

[PikaBlue]

28. Sewage treatment plants, rendering factories, and toxic waste storage facilities.

I am partial to rendering factories myself.

[Xipe Totec]

22. He's like a dog that thinks he owns a lamp post because he peed on it. nt

[iluvtennis]

23. What a DISGRACE.

[barbtries]

25. one thing that really fries me about all this fucking bullshit

is I am paying for it. all the waste, all this fuckery, is on my dime.

that man literally burns money for nothing. while people go hungry and homeless and uncared for.

[ToxMarz]

26. The next President (who WILL be a Democrat) must have crews on ready to begin, as he/she is being sworn in,

taking this shit down, demoloshing the 'ballroom' monstrosity, and (there's 3 years left devil willing) who knows what else.

As for the "ballroom", everyone of the assholes that paid for this (Amazon, Apple, Google, UAE or whoever) to grift of us needs to be identified (publicly) and be held accountable to pay the FULL cost of demoliton and reconstruction to original condition. They should be hit with 1000% tariffs on any thing they import or export, sanctions, and govt seizures if they fail to comply. Trump and the Supreme Court have set the precedence the President has this arbitrary power and complete immunity. They all did it to buy enrichment for their own interests, there needs to be restitution and a STRONG message that there are consequences for bowing to un-democratic forces in this country. Hopefully the next time (and I used to believe there would never be a first time) more of them will think twice.

[AZ8theist]

29. Exactly.

Get rid of every last tacky gold crap in the oval.

Tear down the ball room and restore the east wing exactly as it was before.

AND DO NOT FORGET to restore the Rose Garden that Malaria destroyed.

If he wants to be buried in Arlington, I would dig up his fetid corpe and re-bury it at Merde Lardo.
Erase this assholes very name from everything.

[RandomNumbers]

34. Don't assume anything re: next Prez being a Dem.

Our candidates better be vetted incredibly thoroughly and rapid reaction pre-planned and ready to go, for whatever bullshit the reich-wing will make up.

Due to the reality of the electorate, we will be limited to well-spoken, handsome, white, men, who are not "too old". (Just because it doesn't matter for Republican candidates ... is meaningless for what will happen to a Democrat.) Yet there will be those of various leftist factions wishing to seize the opportunity of a "sure thing" (it isn't) and run someone "more progressive" or "the first woman president" or reject a major slice of the Democratic coalition over issues like I/P. In other words, attempt electoral suicide. We can count on this happening, so Dems who actually want to win had better be ready to fight on all sides.

31. MaddowBlog-One day later, officials scramble to add Trump's name to the Kennedy Center

It’s worth describing what transpired at the Kennedy Center accurately: A group of people vandalized one of the nation’s premier performing arts centers.

It’s worth describing what transpired at the Kennedy Center today accurately:

The president’s operation just vandalized one of the nation’s premier performing arts centers. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/one-day-later-officials-scramble-to-add-trumps-name-to-the-kennedy-center

More importantly, Team Trump characterized the name change as a done deal, which it was not. Congress created the name for the Kennedy Center, and at no point did lawmakers delegate powers to the center’s board to rename the institution unilaterally.

The president’s operation, which has never been overly concerned with following laws, didn’t appear to care: By Thursday night, the center’s official website had been changed to include Trump’s name.

By Friday morning, crews were already hard at work. The Washington Post reported:

The Kennedy Center installed President Donald Trump’s name on its exterior Friday morning, a dramatic change to a building established by law as a ‘living memorial’ to a slain president. […]

A blue tarp was stretched across a portion of the building the next morning as a small team on scaffolding started the work. Loud drilling could be heard nearby. Inside the building, large letters spelling ‘Trump’ could be seen on the floor of the entry hall, according to a photograph obtained by The Washington Post.

It’s hard to know where to start with an initiative this ridiculous, but one of the first things that jumped out at me was the speed with which this came together. The president’s operation managed to acquire the materials, arrange the crews, secure the equipment and begin the installation work over the course of roughly half a day.

....Nevertheless, by midday Friday, the crews were gone and the arts center’s façade was changed.

I’m currently outside of the Kennedy Center:

.......At this point, we could talk about the weird double “the.” We could also joke about the fact that this is now apparently a “memorial center” to two people, one of whom is alive.

While we’re at it, we could draw attention to the fact that the fonts don’t exactly match — and given the Republican administration’s interest in type settings, this is tough to overlook — while simultaneously noting the encouraging fact that the placement of Trump’s name will make it easy to take it down in the future without disturbing the original lettering.....

The president and his team have already gone to outlandish lengths to vandalize the White House. They’re now adding additional buildings to their target list.

32. You have to be dead to have your name on a memorial
