A former 'South Park' writer created a parody website for Trump Kennedy Center after snagging the domain names. Logo has redacted Epstein file snippets

"Welcome to TrumpKennedyCenter.org

A national cultural center dedicated to legacy, loyalty, and the careful presentation of history.

Here, tradition is preserved, narratives are curated, and performances are elevated beyond mere art. What is remembered matters. What is omitted matters more.

We invite you to experience culture as authority, pageantry as truth, and excellence as defined by those in power." #USPol
