Kennedy Center
TRUMP’S NAME 86’D
… First Look Behind Tarp
Published
Donald Trump‘s name has officially been scrubbed from the Kennedy Center … and while the new look is still blocked by scaffolding and a tarp, we’re finally seeing behind the mask.
Take a peek behind the giant tarp that has been covering part of the Kennedy Center’s facade where Trump’s name once hung. Thanks to photos obtained by Hands off the Arts … we can now see the iconic venue without the Trump signage that sparked major controversy.
Trump’s name didn’t come down quietly … after months of legal wrangling, courts sided with folks who argued the Trump-controlled Kennedy Center board never had the power to rename the iconic venue in the first place … ordering Trump’s name stripped from the building, website, and other official materials.
The Trump signage came down earlier this month, but a large tarp remained in place ever since crews wrapped up work.
While the tarp still hangs, visitors can finally get a clear view of the Kennedy Center’s new look … and the big block letters spelling out Donald J. Trump are gone.
In other words, 47’s name got 86’d.
