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.

        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.
