In his second go as President, Donald Trump has been on a blitzkrieg of remaking the country and world as he sees fit. From tearing down the White House east wing for his big, beautiful ballroom bunker to slapping his mug on the new $250 bill to the UFC Claw he’s now pitching as a permanent D.C. eyesore, there seems to be no line he won’t cross in his effort to leave a legacy that doesn’t immediately bring to mind ICE, wars, and Epstein. Taking a page from Silicon Valley ghouls, Trump’s second term ethos of “move fast and break things” did initially shock and awe his opposition into paralysis. But as the outrages have piled up—the “Second Trump administration controversies” Wikipedia category is now at 200 pages—folks are gradually snapping out of that stupor and mounting a variety of legal counterstrikes. There’s now a court filing challenging the forthcoming White House UFC event and its stage construction as “unlawful.” Another suit is challenging the over-budget makeover he’s giving the Reflecting Pool in front of the Washington Monument. And getting the Treasury to mint that $250 bill is going to be more of an uphill battle than he bargained for. But even these processes can’t contain this administration’s shamelessness. Three judges on an appeals panel about the legality of the ballroom construction experienced this firsthand on Friday when DOJ attorneys claimed that, if the President decided to “bulldoze the Statue of Liberty,” they wouldn’t be able to stop him. But while these battles rage on, other once-captured and/or cowed institutions are gradually mustering up the courage to reverse course and reclaim some dignity. One of Trump’s more egregious acts of self-aggrandizement was his hostile takeover of The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (a.k.a. “the Kennedy Center”) last year. Now, in what may end up serving as an exemplary microcosm for all Trump’s egocentric governmental redesigns, the center is already shedding the President’s name less than half a year after it was hastily tacked onto its edifice and website.
