JFK's Niece Vows to Fix Trump's Kennedy Center Reno

Kerry Kennedy has announced a very DIY solution to the addition of Trump’s name to her uncle’s memorial center.

“Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder,” Kennedy, 66, wrote on X Friday.

Alongside a photo of the freshly—and clunkily—renamed ‘The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts,’ the lawyer added: “Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!”

Just an hour later, fellow JFK niece Maria Shriver added her own damning take on the change. While Kennedy went for a pickax, however, Shriver went straight for Trump’s jugular.

“Adding your name to a memorial already named in honor of a great man doesn’t make you a great man. Quite the contrary,” she began her post on the platform.

Living for the day when that vile gargoyle's name is crowbarred off the building.

Those metallic letters in the correct font didn't happen overnight. This has been planned for a long time. So when Donald says he is "surprised" and "honored" by the name-change, he is lying. It was his plan all along.

Trump is insanely jealous of the Kennedy family. It gives him great pleasure to demean, destroy, or deface anything associated with them, i.e., paving over the Rose Garden, and taking over the board of directors and renaming the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to include his own name. I believe his appointment of worm brain to the HHS was a giant "fuck you" to the rest of the Kennedys. It wouldn't surprise me if he tried to extinguish the Eternal Flame.

JFK was a jerk in his -rivate life but his service to this country was solid, whether or not people agreed with what he did.

All Fatso has done so far is rob the people to fatten himself and his rich buddies.

If he wants his name on the building for contributing to a refit, let him have a bronze plaque like every other rich guy who has done something similar, not giving his ughly name top billing over a man who paid for his service to the country with his life, not just chump change from his wealth.
