President Donald Trump’s name is being chiseled off the Kennedy Center less than six months after it was affixed to the historic performing arts center dedicated to President John F Kennedy.
Workers started pulling down the lettering in the early hours of Saturday after a days-long wait and a frantic last-minute legal battle launched by the Trump-aligned Kennedy Center’s leadership to keep the President’s name in place.
The removal comes less than 24 hours before Trump’s 80th birthday on Sunday, which is also Flag Day.
