kennedy center lauds trump\u2019s \u2018tremendous construction abiliites\u2019<\/h2>\n

In Monday night\u2019s filing, Kennedy Center lawyers said \u201cthe President\u2019s tremendous construction abilities would fix the Building and restore it as the crown jewel of Washington, D.C. and the envy of the World\u201d should it not lose the hundreds of millions it says it has earned in donations. Trump in his second term has prioritized beautification efforts in Washington, D.C., including a planned White House ballroom and an arch. His recent renovation of the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, though, has turned into a fiasco as it quickly refilled with algae, which Trump has blamed<\/u> on vandals.<\/p>\n

are the tarps still up at the kennedy center?<\/h2>\n

Yes. Large tarps have stood in front of the Kennedy Center building, blocking the sign that now lacks Trump\u2019s name, since the early hours of June 13. Kennedy Center spokesperson Roma Daravi previously told the Washington Post<\/u> the tarps are up so workers can repair the marble facade, but the center has provided no indication of when they will come down. The tarps have sparked backlash from Democrats, including Rep. Joyce Beatty, D-Ohio, who filed the lawsuit challenging the addition of Trump’s name in December. In court filings earlier this month, Beatty accused the center of keeping up the tarps in \u201cpetulant defiance\u201d and suggested they remain there to \u201cmassage broken egos.\u201d Last week, a federal judge issued an order demanding the Kennedy Center explain why the tarps are still up. The report is due either by the end of July or within seven days of a planned July Kennedy Center Board of Trustees meeting, whichever comes first, and requests information about the tarps \u201cto the extent they remain at that time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Comedian Bill Maher received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor Sunday night at the Kennedy Center, among the organization\u2019s highest-profile events as the legal drama over Trump\u2019s name has played out. Trump was not present, but Maher and some attendees addressed the legal battle at the event. Actor Woody Harrelson, who spoke at the event, referred<\/u> to the venue as the \u201cTrump-Kennedy Center\u201d before adding, \u201cOh right, we fixed that. Not that you\u2019d be able to notice.\u201d Maher<\/u>, in a red carpet interview, said the tarp debacle is \u201cbrilliant,\u201d adding, \u201cAs much as you could try to think of his next move, you could never do it. Only he can think of that. It just makes it better and funnier.\u201d<\/p>\n

key background<\/h2>\n

U.S. District Judge Christopher R. Cooper ruled<\/u> in May the center must revert to its original name and temporarily blocked the center from closing for two years of renovations. Cooper said the 1964 law that established the center \u201cmakes crystal clear that the Center is to be named for President Kennedy,\u201d and that any name change must be approved by Congress. Trump launched a takeover of the center early in his second term, purging its board and replacing fired members with allies, who voted in December to add his name to the venue.<\/p>\n
