Policies and laws that don't have specific (criminal) penalties attached are the weakness's that Trump has always exploited. If he want to rename the Kennedy Center after himself and he has the votes it will happen. Remember he succeeded in naming RFK Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services, a person who wouldn't qualify as an orderly in any hospital.

He [Trump] said over a year ago "I will deny every single blue state funding and I will destroy every single person who didn't vote for me".
Oh wow. I hadn't heard that crazy quote. I can't find it anywhere online. Can you provide a source?

House GOP members have regularly been putting forward various frivolous bills like this, ranging from adding Trump to Mt. Rushmore or renaming Reagan International Airport for him. They’re bootlicking attention-grabs that go nowhere and I fully expect this to follow the pattern.
There’s a lot to be rightfully outraged about regarding Trump and MAGA, but this is really not worth the energy or attention.

I doubt this will ever go anywhere as it is a frivolous Tump boot licking bill, but the notion is utterly ludicrous. Even if you are a Trump fan who would like to immortalize him in some way, naming an arts center after him is not the way to go. He has NEVER, EVER been a patron of the arts, has never been associated with the arts. He has never done anything to further the arts in any way. Going to a few broadway shows here and there does not make one an arts patron or lover. Slap his name on border crossings or something instead.

I think this could actually happen, based on how much it bothers us (people who care about the arts). Our discomfort is very motivational to them (people who care about preserving ignorance).

Such an insult to the late John F. Kennedy. The Kennedy Center is a living memorial. Trump would just erase Kennedy's name from the building? Absolutely outrageous and completely disrespectful.

Mmm. Maybe the delay in naming Honorees, is so they can actually find worthy recipients who would accept any recognition from ," The Chairman."

I looked it up too and found nothing.
In fact, when you search quotes by him about people who didn't vote for him they are rather a positive message.
Would be interested to see the link too.

I assume that the quote was a fabrication by the original poster.

This is such a great metaphor for his entire "reign." He creates nothing. Builds nothing. Just tears down, destroys, renames things for himself, or covers things in cheap gold leaf.

He was sued for housing discrimination back in the 70s and settled in court. so yeah he’s definitely done racist things, no doubt about it

That's just one example. In addition, spread of racist Obama birth place conspiracy, Central Park jogger case, roll back of civil rights, voter rights and social services. Travel ban exclusive to non white countries. These are just a few. Dumb maga cultists refuse to see their fascist idol is a racist, old scum poisoning this country.
Actually no, maga cultists elected him because trump is the mirror. They are exactly like him.

The apartment complex allegations were against his father’s company. But yes let’s not let the son avoid the sins of the father, shall we?
What’s racist about questioning the veracity of Obama’s birth certificate? Does the color of a person’s skin immediately grant them immunity from criticism or questioning? That’d be a bit RACIST wouldn’t it?
From PBS below. Please tell me what’s racist or discriminatory here:
Donald Trump buys full-page newspaper ads stressing law and order and urging return of the death penalty. He writes that white, Black, Hispanic and Asian families have lost a sense of security in their neighborhoods.
1990 - Criticizes a white-only club. Trump tells Vanity Fair he did not want to join a Palm Beach, Florida, club because it does not allow Black or Jewish members.
