President Donald Trump suffered a severe humiliation this month when the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts was finally ordered by a federal court to remove Trump's name from the side of the building, clarifying that Congress only allowed Kennedy's name to be on the facility.Now, days later, tarps are still covering the spot where Trump's name was, and, according to The New York Times, it's starting to arouse suspicion. Some are even questioning whether the name was in fact fully removed at all.Matt Floca, the operations chief for the Kennedy Center, "filed a sworn declaration with a federal court later that day saying that Mr. Trump’s name had been removed," noted the report. And at least some letters were taken off, as "a New York Times photographer captured evidence through an opening in the tarp that the letter 'A' came off," as well as a "D" in a separate photograph.The Kennedy Center will not give a direct explanation for why the tarps aren't coming down, with one spokesperson saying, “The scaffolding and tarp will remain up as crews address maintenance needs of the marble and soffit panels. Best, Public Relations.”Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH), the Kennedy Center board member who sued over Trump-aligned officials' mishandling of the facility in the first place, told The Times, “Donald Trump is embarrassed. He lost in court, his name came down, and now he is trying to hide the result from the public.”It's the latest episode in a long saga of Trump efforts to assert control over the Kennedy Center, which has seen a collapse of ticket sales and the withdrawal of a number of performers as the facility has grown more explicitly MAGA-aligned.Trump also attempted to shut down the Kennedy Center for two years of "renovations" in response to the decline, which was also blocked by federal courts.
It's a "precarious day for our country," MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace said in her opening of "Deadline: White House" — because President Donald Trump got his chosen partisan loyalist in charge of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence."Donald Trump's personal political attack dog, Bill Pulte, officially assum[es] the role of acting Director of National Intelligence today," said Wallace. "It's a job for which Pulte has zero qualifications except for his unwavering loyalty to Donald Trump."And already there are huge red flags showing, she noted, as Pulte — whom experts already warned was likely to try to use the office to interfere in the midterm elections on Trump's behalf — is planning a top-to-bottom housecleaning to install people who will help him do it."Pulte showed up at his new job a day early on Thursday after asking for a list of every employee in the office so he could assess whether to fire them," said Wallace, relying on new CNN reports. Specifically, he "is eyeing to cut hundreds of jobs ... and his appearance at the headquarters "caught staff off guard, including the outgoing director, Tulsi Gabbard, who was given a brief heads up on the visit," since Trump had previously said Friday would be his first day.So far, Wallace said, Pulte's experience "includes serving as the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, where he drummed up mortgage fraud cases against Trump's perceived enemies." Meanwhile, even Republican lawmakers were so outraged over the appointment that Trump had to nominate federal prosecutor Jay Clayton for the permanent role instead. However, Trump delayed the hearing last minute to ensure Pulte would get at least some time in charge.Trump, after all, has proven himself "if nothing else erratic," Wallace noted. And now Pulte is free to pursue his "plans to purge the office." - YouTube youtu.be
