A photographer on Wednesday captured a photo of Trump admiring a poster visible through the windows of Air Force One which appeared to read “Kennedy Center DEMOLISHED.”
Trump enabler and key member of the Kennedy Center board, Bill Pulte, appeared to be next to the president as he looked at the poster. Pulte was seen carrying poster board as he followed Trump off the plane.
Natalie Harp, Trump’s human printer, was also on Air Force One.

On Thursday, lawyers working to keep the Kennedy Center open and Donald Trump’s name off its facade submitted new evidence citing the Orange Ass’s comments and the photo.
Matt Floca, the executive director and chief operating officer, responded that the closure was in response to “acute” risks to the public, and would close the center for a week.
“I came to the conclusion that acute risks to public safety resulting from continued structural deterioration at the center necessitated a temporary closure of most public spaces in the main building of the center to general public access,” he said.
Trump had doubled down on his tantrum on Wednesday as he rallied in North Carolina.
