Is it done?

S

Anyone reminded of a WWII newsreel?

Sorry, that’s not enough.

Quite fitting, given Don’s been taking the P for years.

Toss those sad-ass letters into his green reflecting (reflection of his ugly mug) pool!

D day

All hail Cliff Owen! 🫡

This whole name endeavor involved substantial, wasted taxpayer dollars. How Trumpian.

So here we are, the MSM celebrating the beginning of the end of the Fragile Manbaby they created to sell papers & soap to all the rubes & suckers out there. It's been "Damn the torpedoes full speed ahead" for them since about '92, for some reason. & now it's #somuchwinning that you'll be sick of it

…to try *to stop…

Taking the P. Donald J Trumb is not Flame Retardant.

Ugh, I can't imagine touching Trump's P with my hands.

Good! Rip his D straight off!

Hiding the REMOVAL of 19 Fugly Ugly Letters is a Joke‼️...Americans deserve to watch with JOY as this Disgraceful Name is REMOVED from the Kennedy Center‼️👏👏👏

Alt Text: A worker removes a metal letter from the wall of the Kennedy Center, partly obscured by a flame retardant tarp.

They know they’ve lost What they don’t seem to know is: History. .

that was a lot of time wasted on building all that scaffolding.

The next Pulitzer Prize for Photography right here.

Ответ для keenoire

Someone please get on that 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🧑🏿‍🍼👩🏼‍🍼

👏👏👏

Is that the “D?” They captured the big kahuna!👍👍👍

Ответ для Torie138

I think it’s the P. You can see the serif at the bottom.

Ответ для KB

So it is!😘

Pulitzer.

Happy Birthday Mr. President . . . 🎵🎻🎶🎂🎉🎂🎶🎻🎵

"P" for Pulitzer ... and several other "P" words that also apply.

@lukerussert.bsky.social use alt text. I have an app that can help you with that. DM me

Looks like the photographer caught him taking a P

I think it might depend on which shot is being looked at. I've been seeing this one since early this morning and attributed to photographer Pete Kiehart.

When a pin mounted sign, even a cheap, fast one, is removed from stone. You have to at least patch and repair the surface. But sometimes there is cracking or discoloration so the most prudent approach is to replace the stone surface as if the sign was never there.

Ответ для Jason Westrope

Good point. I was wondering what would be done about the many holes drilled into the stone for his crappy name.

Trump is losing control of his P again.

The cover up failed.

Is he removing just his name... or ALL the lettering?

The whole thing is an embarrassment for USA. The letters could have been removed in a couple hours from a bucket truck. But, nope, taxpayer dollars had to be wasted to install a massive scaffolding system to hang a shower curtain to protect a massive ego and string it along like a reality TV show. 😡

Ответ для Seattle Dawn

Yeah that's the part the US should be really embarrassed about

Ответ для badly drawn bee 🐝

Why. I didn’t vote for this tub of lard and wasn’t consulted about any of this nonsense. But I tell you what, you go ahead and feel embarrassed for me if it makes you feel better.

Ответ для Seattle Dawn

Yeah, well I don't want to pay for it.

The orange sociopath. The prettiest man in the history of the world, Donald Trump, part-time president, full-time crook and pathological liar.

Ответ для Stuart

Pettiest man..oops

Tear down the tarp!

Thanks for the photo credit info; had seen this pic a couple time on here, but no mention of who took it. :)

Can't wait for this to happen in the Oval Office. I hope there is a livestream for that, too.

Why exactly did this need to be behind a curtain?

Ответ для Dawn
O

Same reason you don't show a toddler disturbing images. He's not mature enough for it.

The beginning of an era. There's gonna be a lot of tarp looking forward!

Kind of funny that he had to wear a mask to do it, too.

Ответ для Bryan Sorohan

If I was part of the crew removing those letters, I'd want to be anonymous and stay that way.

So they covered up removing his name …. Again

Ответ для bearded-ginger

He covers up everything. Except the bright blue swimming pool, rubble on the White House, and the carnival on the lawn.

Trump somehow made this even more of a spectacle like only he can do. The next question is when does the tarp come down since he doesn't deal in decency or reality.

Ответ для Shanna S-P 🌸

Hopefully with a federal judge ordering the tarp down along with a contempt of court ruling for missing the deadline in the first place.

Ответ для Jared, Excited Comic Guy

Why would a judge order the tarp down? It's there to comply with safety regs, not some Trump-ordered conspiracy

Ответ для Jared, Excited Comic Guy

They were given 12 extra hours after having two weeks. A rep should have come to site and explained to attendees! More sssshh don’t tell. Just as there isn’t any Peace agreement. Only a concept of a concept plan.

The Streisand Tarp?

Ответ для Shanna S-P 🌸

After the low class CAGE MATCH ON WHITE HOUSE LAWN ! Notice DONALD is still displaying on the left side

Someone mentioned in a YouTube chat that they were put up using a scissor jack. The scaffolding construction was all part of the delay and then the ability to cover up.

Ответ для Manny

Precisely. I stayed up until about 2am waiting to see the letters come off, but they were putting the tarp up instead. So it became clear they were blocking it all. The entire production was done to take as much time as possible. Delay delay delay is felon47's MO. Jerks. 😡

Ответ для Manny

About two hours before the letters needed to legally be REMOVED, You could see the games the Workers were PLAYING‼️... It was obvious they were NOT going to be removed by MIDNIGHT on Friday‼️...You are SPOT ON 💯‼️

Removing the Felon's name looked something like this.

Why did they feel the need to put up curtains to cover them removing the letters? They didn't do that when they put them up. Or did I miss something?

Ответ для Don Shafer

They're petty little whiners.

Ответ для Don Shafer

Because they knew the internet would flood with pictures of them coming down and people celebrating. So they create an even.bigger spectacle instead!

Ответ для Tim

And people are still celebrating.

Ответ для Don Shafer

As the order said nothing about removing the tarp afterward, what do you wanna bet he leaves it up for the rest of his term

Ответ для JLRoberson

That did occur to me. I wouldn't be surprised if they try.

Ответ для Tim

Or "accidentally" removing the wrong name, saying "oopsy,"using it as an excuse not to pay the crew and to delay it more.

Ответ для JLRoberson

Looks like they trying to make it permanent.

Ответ для Tim

The Streisand Effect!

Ответ для Don Shafer

You did miss something. They hung blue tarps to hide them putting it up. The difference was the mountain of scaffolding which took ages to put up, as opposed to the platform lifts and cherry pickers used to put the letters up in a couple of hours.

Ответ для OperaBunny

Thank you.

Melt them down and turn them into challenge coins marking the real 250th birthday of America, to be given to judges and lawyers who stand up to this tyrant.

Ответ для Greg Cohn

Trump will try to sell them to make a few bucks.

Is that a "D" for Douchebag?

Scrolled until I found an image of this. I feel cleansed.

The orange loser needs to build his own legacy people will remember him for

All that extra work putting up a tarp to not so completely cover up the 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 of the Kennedy Center by removing the orange demagogue's offending name came to naught! The minion who ordered the tarp be put up to protect their cult leader better watch their back, he doesn't like 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳'𝘴 failure!

P IS FOR PEDIFILE

I watched it live on TikTok last night. And the person there was able to see it. Pretty cool.!!!

So they have to hide behind a tarp when they're obeying the law but they're fine with grifting billions of dollars in broad daylight? Something off there.

Workman takes the "p" out of trump

🤣🤣🤣

Imagine when the next prez blows up the arch of shame…

Priceless 👏😊

President Snowflake couldn't cope. Ketchup on the walls again?

The tarp is like the tent they use when they euthanize an injured horse at a racetrack

Ответ для mike jolkovski

Ahhh lol a horse of course, …of course, that is unless the horse of course is….!

They put tarps up during the install too. But… they put way more up last night. Not surprised. An open process of prying Trump’s name off the building would be every anti-Trump political ad for the next two years.

Trump puts the D in Dumb and he can get in the bin.

Grab him by the “P”

Trump is a looser. Always has been, always will be Thankfully he’ll be dead soon, and roasting like the fat pig he is

Wouldn't it be cool if for every letter removed one of trump's body parts fell off and turned to dust.

Watch for the petty games next - they're going to leave the tarp up.

This ended up even better because on top of the symbolism of "Trump's name visible being taken off building" we got "despite yet another Trump cover up"

This is a Pulitzer winner.

The letter is P

😂😂😂😂

The tarp is still there because the Pedophile-in-Chief is a pathetic whiny baby. #TearDownThatTarp.

Very on-brand for Hair Furor to try to cover something up when everyone knows it's happening.

Ответ для Qortni

It seems to have genuinely been a safety regulation due to marble dust and the risk of falling tools.

Ответ для Acts of Tekla
Ответ для Acts of Tekla

Different from when they put it up?

Ответ для Denise 🌊

They didn't build a scaffolding first time but strung up tarps. I'm sure it's part safety ..butt more vanity because they went overkill this time to hide it. Scaffolding was not necessary..but they wanted to try and hide the side view

Ответ для West Coast Mike

And scaffolding can go up very quickly. Watching the obvious stalling was insane.

Ответ для Acts of Tekla

Falling objects are usually dealt with, with netting, hoarding if over a sidewalk, or simply a marked exclusion area. Not a vertical wall-type opaque barrier as this is.

Ответ для Peter Moore

and/or safety straps.

Ответ для Acts of Tekla

You heard that on FOX? Oh, no. Wait. They wouldn’t have mentioned this at all.

Ответ для Acts of Tekla

Is this a joke?

Ответ для Acts of Tekla

Hi Tekla, my name is Ibrahim Okeke and I am a Nigerian prince. Do you have a moment to talk?

Ответ для Lazlo Toth

No need to be mean.

Ответ для Acts of Tekla

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the tarp. If something were to fall on the sides, the tarp could prevent it from hitting someone outside the tarp and break the falling object's momentum. Either way, disappointing we can't watch but satisfying it's coming down.

Ответ для Acts of Tekla

🙄 For the naysayers bsky.app/profile/jele...

Yell In a War

yeah this is scaffold sheeting to contain dust so the crowd and crew don't wreck their lungs, if you know anyone at the Kennedy Center text them the link and tell them to quit being boo birds www.eagleind.com/products/sca...

Ответ для Acts of Tekla

False equivalent.

Ответ для Acts of Tekla

The crew isn’t being protected, they are inside the tarp where the dust would be created, if dust was being created. Dust isn’t being created, the letters just pull off.

Ответ для Acts of Tekla

And I am certain this is the one time Trump ever insisted workers take the maximum time and effort to assure "safety." "Tippy-top" was a word he probably used

Ответ для JLRoberson
J

"The most tremendous safety. The little workers came to me with tears in their eyes, saying sir, thank you sir."

Ответ для Acts of Tekla

People are too conspiracy brained for that. If I was one of the workers, I would have been so relieved when the tarp went up and stops all these random people recording me.

Ответ для Acts of Tekla

Yes. The administration that put the first ones up with cherry pickers, that is running concentration camps, that is getting the EPA and worse... cares about safety. Hey, I've got this neat opportunity to sell you this bridge. It'll make you a fortune in the long run!

Ответ для Acts of Tekla

Sure… just like when Trump had his construction crew raze the East Wing - Asbestos contaminated, among other environmental hazards - in the dark of the night with no planning or approval? Then dumping the contaminated fill at the local golf course? So… a gargantuan tarp is for safety?

Ответ для Acts of Tekla
S

no

NOW, let's remove 'trump.'

Looks like the D for Dumb 🫏‼️

i feel like i missed an episode.

The appropriate letter.

We need to protect Cliff Owen like he's John Connor

Just for fun I asked Google AI a question. I took pleasure in the response:

Calling this a "berlin wall moment" is stupid and deeply embarassing

So the elaborate scaffolding was for the tarp, instead of using a simple cherry picker to remove the letters.

Looks like he took a P

I imagine once he comes to his senses, Trump will sell those letters online for $100,000 apiece The T itself could bring in a cool million

Ответ для johnrobertroberts

Do you think they’re going to leave them on the White House steps in a cardboard box.

Ответ для Uneasy Writer

More likely in a bathroom at MaraLogo

I think that another reason it went up is to protect the security of the workers - there are enough nuts hating that this is happening to pose a threat to whoever is doing the work. I'm okay with that tarp to protect them. Plus, that marble will need to be patched.

Ответ для nlh2

If that is true, and you wrote that comment 12 hrs ago, why are those tarp strips still up? No one is doing any work. So we truly know that felon47's name was taken down?

Ответ для Ducky Lover

*Do we ... ☺️

Ответ для Ducky Lover

I hope that Representative Joyce Beatty, who filed the lawsuit, goes back to the judge to get that tarp down immediately. There has to be confirmation that his name is off - right now, the KC Board is saying they're evaluating "legal options" in hopes of putting it back on.

Ответ для nlh2

Yikes! I've not read that. But it's been nearly a week now, and that tarp is still there and neatly tucked up over doors. So he's defiling the JFK memorial even more and obscuring JFK's name. I've not heard a thing about that freaking tarp looking like it's there permanently. 😡

Unless they not put the letters up with removable tape in the first place, that wall is going to look like someone wrote Trump out with a machine gun unless and until they replace the marble.

Hoping this moment is symbolic of a steep downward turn in Trump's reign and the popularity of the MAGA movement; and shows that his shonky corrupt fiefdom is now in fatal political freefall.

And it's the P for pedophile. 👩‍🍳💋

He’s taking a P.

This is even more embarrassing. Trump feels so defeated over this he can't even let anyone witness what we all know is happening. Instead he chose to escalate. Thats some deep, deep seated insecurity.

How long before Trump is selling the letters???

P is for pedo

If they'd just done it without the drama, it would never have been a "Berlin Wall" moment. It would have been a mild celebration on Bluesky, and a short discussion on MSNOW, and barely a mention anywhere else. But toddler-in-chief had to throw a hissy fit, and that made it a big deal.

Start circulating a picture of before his name went up and he’ll lose his mind thinking that the tarps aren’t there any longer or someone got in. 😁

This is the beginning of the end for Trump. I'm going to Savor every minute of it!

Absolutely perfect shot, give it an award

I hope Cliff Owen is awarded a prize for this photo. It conveys so much about these times.

Remove the damaging canvas Trump is trying to pull the same OLD CRAP he puts out daily.

This makes me very happy. Small victories lead to bigger ones. Let's keep going!

Those Trump letters removed from the Kennedy Center belong to the Kennedy Center, which paid for them, right? Who has them?

T probably sold them to a donor for "One Meelyun Dollars"

🤪

I hope this is the beginning of the end of removed Trumpy Drumpy from are life

Good for you Mr Owen. Thank you!

Who gives a shit? There’s real work to be done. People with titles and addresses need to be relieved of them.

History has is being written.

I saw reports it was the D, but it is clearly the P

Money wasted to the installation ans for the removal. A double whammy. We are gonna see a lot of that in the next few years.

D for dickhead

...the Berlin Wall killed people. It was literally a death zone. Calling this a Berlin Wall moment is crazy hyperbole.

Ответ для Mathdemigod

Kinda fits with the entire felon47 regime, who blow so much hyperbole we're buried in it.

Did anyone get this moment on video? We’d finally have the P tape.

So much for "transparency."

EXCELLENT!!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

youtu.be/vgdh0rM8o4I?.... Signalgate should not have been buried. It REMAINS a National Security threat. At least the media isn't burying the rape of children. The National Debt is out of control, but the media isn't paying enough attention to the DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA.

Glorious. O btw djt.....FU!!!!!

The letters just popped off like they were held on with adhesives instead of bolted anchors. Like it was always known these were temporary.

Ответ для River Tide

They def knew it wouldnt last. The whole point of most of the BS they do is simply to 'own the libs'. The GOP has the maturity of an 11 year old boy

Ответ для River Tide

Good catch, I zoomed in and also didn’t see any bolts coming out of the back of the letter.

Ответ для spincast-ag300

The popping sound also was more like metal coated plastic. Would explain why Trump's lettering was different than the cast bronze of Kennedy's memorial.

Ответ для River Tide

I definitely have to push the volume & listen for that. My first thought was how that material would degrade & look like crap in the short term while the bronze keeps getting better. Perfect metaphor.

I like how they put a tarp up like its a fucking crime scene.

S

I love the narcissistic injury this must have caused.

What's the point in hiding the destruction?

So cool! Was this the first letter?

Cliff Owen should have it framed and gift it to Trump for his birthday 🎉 he can put on his desk in the Oval Office.

He got grabbed by the P.

Trumpelstiltskin is going to be furious 😁

The scaffold was JUST for the curtain. Astounding!

T

Could we just melt them down and turn them into an anchor? #Damnatiomemoriae47

@earational.bsky.social

I find the fact that the "P" was coming down at that exact moment apropos. 😃

It's generally unadvisable to work on scaffolding with the public nearby without some sort of screen to contain falling objects. I think Donald lost interest in the Kennedy Center as soon as the acts started cancelling, he doesn't care anymore

Nepo baby

The Streisand Effect strikes again!

What a thin skinned little twerp.

G

Every act of damnatio memoriae (minus the execution piece, of course) inflicted is more painful to this man than anything the justice department could do. His entire sense of self-worth is carried by self-promotion. His name must be stripped from every public edifice before his eyes.

Over under on how long until these letters show up for sale online to add a pittance to Trump's fortune?

Comparing this to the berlin wall is ridiculous. Americans really are a spoiled lot.

The tarp is symbolic of the coverups in the Trump administration

The worker is taking a P

It never belonged there period.

Somebody with that work crew is going to get ripped for not having that tarp pulled tight. Great shot though.

Hopefully David hasslehoff his gonna sing on top of his corpulent corse.

"They'll never know what we're doing under here"

Should’ve never been put there in the first place - what a waste of money 💰. Good riddance

Thanks for giving the photographer credit!

Trump made them put up a tarp because it hurt his little fee fees to see people cheering his name being removed. What a waste of money just for a malignant narcissist’s ridiculous vanity. Pfft.

Ответ для The Cassandra Files (I told you so)

not exactly a "tarp" -- they were panels of curtains. i turned off the most boring show ever after they hung the third panel. i'm guessing there were about 8 panels of trump's curtains that the resident snowflake was hiding his name behind.

"Flame retardant" next to the P being removed. Clinches the image for me.

Next we’ll need a court order to remove the tarp.

How do you know for sure? That tarp is still hanging and no one has seen behind it.

There's pics and a short video that captured the workers pulling letters off. The Kennedy Center lawyers also filed the requisite document with the courts today attesting to the fact the name had been removed.
