The ballroom should be completely demolished along with whatever else he ruins just because he can. Then the rubble should be dumped on the grounds of maralago

He can put his name all over it, if he wants. But officially, it won't be known as anything other than the Kennedy Center. Wish I could remember where I read it and what the reasoning was... but it was one that trump just wouldn't take the time to follow through on.

37. Can she take legal action?
Thu Dec 18, 2025, 07:40 PM
Dec 18

I'm wondering if there could be any legal challenges to how the board "renamed" (renamed in quotes because if I'm reading everything right the name change isn't official) the center. Since it's a board and not an actual congressional vote maybe there is less she can do but I'm not an expert on this.

Anyone have any thoughts on the legality of everything that happened?

I have no clue if she can take legal action. That said, I hope she does.


PS: If he wants to slap his name on everything, he should put it on porta potties. Now that would have a hell of a long line of people wanting to dump on trump.

This maladministration is a complete kook show full of liars, jesters and clowns. Simply incredible how brazenly they lie. How very Christian of them. Shocked that Leavitt hasn't caught on fire yet while her cross necklace gets inverted.
