I’m at the Kennedy Center covering the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. Celebrities are about to walk the red carpet. To do so, they’ll have to go past the tarp tower covering the evidence that President Donald Trump’s name has been removed from the center’s exterior.

It’s go time — less than an hour until the court-ordered deadline to take President Donald Trump’s name off the building. Crews are almost finished with the scaffolding, but no letters have been touched let alone removed.

The mood had pretty light over the past nine hours — until about 15 minutes ago when the crew brought out tarp. Mood changed immediately with boos and chants of “Shame!”

The Kennedy Center’s name sign is still blocked by tarps and surrounded by security guards more than 12 hours after President Donald Trump’s name was removed from the building. Just a handful of journalists and passersby waiting for the tarps to come down.

A 14-member crew just started offloading scaffolding after taking an extended break, presumably due to thunderstorms. When the workers started moving, the crowd of about 150 immediately broke out into chants of “Take it down! Take it down!”

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. The giant tarp column remains up, and the locals and die-hards trickling in to see the restored signage are leaving disappointed.
