It is abhorrent what this man has done to a living memorial to an assassinated President.Donations were not made because Trump put his name on the building. The Kennedy Center isn't receiving donations because this. That's what is happening. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a…

Trump’s DOJ claims Kennedy Center will fall into ‘financial ruin’ without his name on the building

Donald Trump’s administration claims the Kennedy Center stands to lose “hundreds of millions” of dollars without his name attached to the building, which the Department of Justice says should be renamed in the president’s honor after he “donated his time, energy and unparalleled Construction talents” to renovating the venue.

The Justice Department is appealing a federal court order requiring the venue to remove Trump’s name from the building’s facade, which is still covered in scaffolding and a white tarp that hides the empty space where his name appeared.

The administration has argued that stripping the president’s name from a performing arts institution named after President John F. Kennedy would send it into “financial ruin.”

“Neither the President nor his family has ever engaged — or will ever engage — in conflicts of interest,” a White House representative said in a statement Tuesday. “President Trump proudly made the United States the crypto capital of the world through executive actions, supporting legislation like the GENIUS Act, and other commonsense policies to drive innovation and economic opportunity for all Americans.”

Not Funny, Couchfucker:

This is disgusting as usual. More of the same partisan political speeches to active duty troops following the standard practice of Trump, Vance and Hegseth to violate a fundamental principle of the Republic. It’s also gross that more Republican vets don’t call this out. bsky.app/profile/atru…
