The warning came as Trump leaves a trail of destruction in Washington, demolishing the White House East Wing to make way for a $600m ballroom and ordering a renovation of the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool that resulted in algae blooms and a peeling liner.
The court filing represented the first time that Trump’s allies have raised the prospect of knocking down the Kennedy Center – a 100ft-high complex with a concert hall, opera house and theatre – as the dire alternative to closing it for two years of improvements. Such an aggressive move would be sure to face legal challenges, protests and an outcry from historic preservation groups.
The threat emerged on Monday as the administration urged a federal judge to reject a fresh legal challenge to Trump’s efforts to put his name on the Kennedy Center. The dispute has become part of a months-long battle over the president’s attempt to alter the memorial created by Congress in honour of John F Kennedy, the 35th US president who was assassinated in 1963.
demolish it then.
Could this man be a bigger asshole?
He’s always searching for new and exciting ways
No. He’s a toroidal sphere, essentially pure asshole.
Don’t tempt him, Frodo.
Any comparison is an insult to assholes.
Yes, unfortunately
Look, if Trump wants a memorial building named after him all he has to do is get himself assassinated. He just has do the first step and we’ll totally take care of the rest, ok?
Please do Step One, Trump. Please?
This asshole is the modern Caligula. Shouldn’t be allowed out of prison, much less running/destroying the country.

You truly did!
The only reasonable response is:
DO IT, MOTHERFUCKER!
Stop trying to reason with this clown.
In a surprising development the Republican Congress did fuck all about it and SCOTUS threw up their hands and said “who, me?”
Meanwhile the media blamed Biden because he likes ice cream.
Paved over Jackie Kennedy’s rose garden. Put in a garish boxing ring, then a helipad.
Still working hard to improve the life of the American people I see.
The funny thing is that a contractor will do this even though they will never be paid by Trump and then eventually probably go to prison after he is too dead to pardon them.
come on, make a deal with him. Kennedy got his name on it by being assassinated. Maybe something along similar lines??
He’s the kid that breaks the toys in daycare so nobody else can play with them.
Better demolished than have Trump on it.
He will just rebuild it and put his name on it all this court money is dumb. It’s going to end up with it anyway no reason to waste more money fighting it.
Hard disagree here. It’s a slippery slope. If we had that attitude for everything he did we would have full dictatorship already. He’s already mentioned he wants a third term, if we applied that ideology of “oh well its easier/cheaper to just let him do it” then this could end up real scary real fast for the US.
Who is going to stop his third term?
Who is going to stop his third term?
Based on current evidence, it won’t be the American people.
That’s a bad attitude to have, you should never cave to a fascist. It doesn’t matter if he’d rebuild it, the point is that he doesn’t get to put his name on the one he really wants.
If I can’t have it, nobody can. Someone deal with his man and his cabal of pedophile lovers, already.
Will no one rid me of this troublesome president?
A good start would be citizens who are in states with recall clauses starting to enact them. granted it would only help 12 of the states as the rest lack a framework for it but, the majority of the states who have the recall process, also have legislators that refuse to do anything about it.
Jesus Christ. The fuck head is mad with power. It’s cock obvious the guy is demented.
Not just that, he also has a cabal behind his throne who wants him to remain in power so that they get their deals and schemes rubber-stamped.
