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.

    God, when is this fat sack of shit going to die and just go away? I’ve started searching his name every day just looking for an obituary news article. How someone can be so far in mental decline, and people are still lining up to lick his ball sack is beyond me.

      Fascism isn’t going away when he dies. Americans are getting a more competent and evil replacement.

        Being more competent isn’t hard, more evil will be a challenge, but the real struggle will be finding someone more charismatic to be the central figure maintaining the cult.

      When you or some other person(s) get off your address and get to work. So probably not soon enough

        After reading your responses, I realized you were serious. How does it feel to be the stupidest person that nearly everybody here will engage with all day?

        I hope this is a joke. They hid Reagans Alzheimers diagnosis, no reason they wouldn’t hide trump’s, who also has a family history of Alzheimers by the way…

        Edit: day old account. What’s with the recent influx of astroturfing?

        And definitely 6’3" and 238lbs, despite so many people with confirmed smaller heights being so clearly taller than him.
