Summary
Around 3 a.m. Saturday, a 14-member crew pried 18 letters spelling “The Donald J. Trump and” off the Kennedy Center exterior, removing the president’s name from the building.
More than 60 hours later, the change remained largely unseen because scaffolding and a massive tarp were left in place, with security guards posted around the barricaded area.
A crowd of more than 200 had gathered chanting “Take it down!” before dwindling to about a dozen by the time workers began the overnight removal.
The takedown followed a court order cited in earlier reports, which also affected Trump’s name on the Kennedy Center’s website.
