President Donald Trump’s name came off the Kennedy Center in the dead of night Saturday. More than 60 hours later, almost no one has seen it gone.
Around 3 a.m. Saturday, a 14-member crew pried the 18 letters “The Donald J. Trump and” off the building’s exterior, after a thrumming crowd of more than 200 chanting “Take it down!” had dwindled to a dozen or so die-hards. Then, the workers climbed down and left — without removing the scaffolding they’d erected or the massive tarps they’d draped over it. Security guards have flanked the barricaded scaffolding ever since.
