JFK's Niece: "Three years and one month from today, I'm going to grab a pickax and..."

https://www.thedailybeast.com/jfks-infuriated-niece-vows-to-take-kennedy-center-renaming-into-own-hands/

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.

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.
