US President Donald Trump's name was affixed to the Kennedy Center in Washington on Friday, one day after his hand-picked board members voted to rename the arts venue in spite of legal questions.

Workmen on scissor lifts added metal lettering to the building's facade, before dropping a blue tarpaulin to reveal the sign saying "The Donald J. Trump and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center For the Performing Arts."

Wrong font size, wrong spacing between the letters, the original font is also wider. At least they did spell right

But not suspicious to have it ready for the day after the ruling

They know the new part is going away as soon as he's gone, so no reason to put in too much effort

Someone on mastodon says he's also renaming the Epstein files to the Trump-Epstein files.

Only if you're charged and held accountable

The most depressing part is there are so many people enabling his idiot demands. They are just obedient bad people.

If they're going to name a memorial center after him, shouldn't he be dead?

[–] falseWhite@lemmy.world 29 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

It's not really "they". He practically renamed it himself, because that's what dictators do.

Next he's gonna build a huge statue of himself.

[–] Etnaphele@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

I think he fears death a lot, which brings him to splatter his name everywhere he gets to. Many chances to piss on it for the next generations!

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

That can be fixed.

[–] catbum@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago

Typeface might be the same, but the font is wrong. Width doesn't match (compare the Os and As) and the kerning is shit.

Par for a dictator's course.

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Death is coming anyday for the pedo trump. He needs to make as many changes and permanent impacts as he can, otherwise he has failed in his parents eyes.

He was raised by horrible people who got off on the agony of others. Don't think for a second Donald doesn't want everyone to suffer for decades after he lost ONCE even after rigging the election.

If experience is anything to go by he is making it to 100. Evil never dies

[–] ji59@hilariouschaos.com 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I hope he will see all of his shit tear down in 2029

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

I'll also accept sooner for anyone eager to please!

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 weeks ago

There was hardly any time to even discuss a font. That administration is in a frenzy during it's last days.

It gets harder and harder to find the differences and which is which.
