The New York Times article about removing Trump‘s name from The Kennedy Center, suggested that they were press-on letters. This tracks with my experience. I remember singing at a Trump casino in Atlantic City in the 1980s. At first, I was impressed by all the gold and marble until I got closer and saw the seams. #USpol #art #KennedyCenter #trumpkennedycenter
The curtain is coming down for Trump at the Kennedy Center

The curtain has started to come down for President Donald Trump at the Kennedy Center in Washington. After a day of legal maneuvers and thunderstorms, workers began the process in the early morning hours Saturday of removing the letters spelling out the Republican president’s name from the facade of the iconic performing arts venue. They were a few hours past a court-ordered deadline and did their work shrouded by a tarp, much to the frustration of onlookers who had gathered for hours hoping to witness a dramatic moment symbolizing the limits of Trump’s power. A judge has agreed to extend the deadline until noon Saturday for completion of the job.

hmm what an odd scene. nothing against the Italian performer who may not be up on the context of US politics and the Trump-Kennedy Center hubbub, but there's definitely a strange contradiction between the venue and the theme. performing Yiddish concentration camp songs in Trump's landmark venue in this moment...🤨

Kennedy Center vice president steps down 12 days after appointment

Paul Rudnick: "Bravo to esteemed composer Philip Glass, who has just withdrawn his new symphony from the Trump-Kennedy Center, joining a long list of great artists refusing to perform there. It's believed the #TrumpKennedyCenter is now being used mostly for storing classified documents.
