Journalist to journalist, it’s malpractice for you to print this. Your job is to report facts and the fact is there is a legal process for naming this that was not followed, so it’s name has not changed.
This just in from the White House: Much like the Trump Kennedy Center, all BLS inflation reports from now on will be called "Trump Prosperity" Reports unless, of course, they come in worse than expected, in which case they will be called "Biden Blunder" Reports.
That arts center was named for an assassinated US president, John F. Kennedy. Money was raised to honor him. What kind of greasy shit would rename it from the "Kennedy Center" to the "Kennedy & Greasy Shit Center?" The greasy shit can set up his own arts center, instead of stealing honors from JFK.
Is the real reason their keeping Kennedy in the name because of RFK Jr, cause I can't imagine any reason Trump would want to honor JFK, or share his name with anyone.
The point is that Trump *can't* change the name, he lacks the authority to do it. So he didn't change the name, and there's no violation of the law. The proper framing would portray it as a ridiculous, empty gesture.
When this monster is gone, I hope his name sticks on these buildings. We need the reminder to not get big heads and think we are too good to harbor corruption. Democracy requires constant vigilance and humility.
Agreed. It makes my skin crawl. I am so sick of American arrogance!!! It provides too much cover. Our history is filled with horrific deeds. But we learn from it and do better each generation. I don’t want this era to be covered up. I want reminders for generations to come. How do we do that?
But no veteran healthcare, no food or medical care for the elderly, no free lunch for the school children....no, no, no for the American people. Yes, yes, yes for this disgusting human. 🤢🤮
What do you call a news organization that repeats what powerful people say without fact-checking or context (such as that Trump does not have the power to rename the Kennedy center, which was named via statute)?
State-media/propaganda/stenography
Definitely not "news".
The Kennedy Center is named by statute. Neither Trump nor his appointed Board can change the name. Such awful journalism, just accepting/assuming that Trump and his minions actually have the power to do everything they claim to do. Go back to school and retake Journalism 101.
Trump regime doesn't get to 'proclaim' that
sure maybe he'll scrawl his name on there with a big fat Sharpie - but that doesn't mean the official name has been changed
so pathetic
#GangsterGongShow 👿🤪🤡
The most fitting legacy honor for Trump would be to to name all the pit toilets in the National Parks as “ Trump Dumps”.
I have sincerely advocated this for years . My Republican U. S. Senators and Congressman are still reluctant to adhere to this proposal!
