‘Snowflake’: Donald Trump's Kennedy Center tarp cover-up sparks criticism
Key Points:
- Donald Trump, recently celebrating his 80th birthday, had his name removed from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts after a court ruling mandated the removal due to lack of congressional approval for renaming the venue.
- US District Court Judge Christopher Cooper emphasized that the Kennedy Center must remain formally named after John F. Kennedy, rejecting the Trump-appointed board's unilateral decision to add Trump's name.
- Despite the removal order deadline of June 12, the process was initially obscured by scaffolding and plastic sheeting, sparking public ridicule and viral social media reactions mocking the concealment.
- The Trump administration's last-minute attempt to delay the removal was denied by the judge, and as of now, the Kennedy Center remains covered by tarps, hiding the absence of Trump's name.
