After court-ordered deadline passes Friday, workers finally remove president's name from performing arts venue's exterior
Workers began the process of removing Donald Trump’s name from the exterior of the Kennedy Center on Saturday morning, hours after a court-ordered deadline to complete the work by Friday passed.
Thousands of people tuned into various livestreams showing the exterior of the Washington, D.C. performing arts venue on Friday, only to watch workers spend hours constructing a scaffolding and not removing the Trump name.
The work continued Saturday morning with workers unfurling a large curtain to obscure the actual removal of the “Donald J. Trump” from the building’s exterior; a livestream outside the Kennedy Center showed dozens of people walking past the building, unaware of what was happening on the other side of the facade-wide tarp.
