Is it true Trump is closing Kennedy Space Center over a naming dispute?

[Amy10223]

Your thoughts?

Mine: Aww, Twumpy Twump with havin' a baaaad day 'cause he can't have his way. What a spoiled brat.

[Danzigdawson]

Yup, probably under the pretense that the building is "unsafe" and/or in need of extensive and cost-prohibiting repairs.

He can't put his stupid name on it legally, so he'll have the building torn down in order to build a new one over it, thus giving him free rein to tarnish it with his name written in 20 meters (65ft) high capital letters.

It will be more trump's name than building, when completed.

That's my theory.

[Amy10223]

Hopefully Congress nor the Supreme Court won’t allow him do that. But your thinking is right!

[Still-alive]

i haven't been following this too close but it makes complete sense. Trump is a whiny vindictive person and will go after anything or anyone for the least perceived slight against him. You know the reason he has this hatred towards windmills is because there were a few blocking his view from a golf course in Scotland. he tried to get them removed but lost. yeah this is Trump in a nutshell.

[Amy10223]

Pretty crazy, right?

[purplepoppy]

I hearby rename it the Biden Space Centre.

[KostasKouvalis]

Nooooooo, that's even worse. You're Welsh! Unless he tries to change your country to the proper spelling, Whales, you stay out of this.

[Amy10223]

Thank you, Purplepoppy, for your great answer! The world needs to point out to the US who were our greatest leaders, because obviously some here would prefer Trump over Biden. 👍👍👍

[katiesmuff]

You know trump very well as I do!

[Orion84]

That seems to be the case, yes, because we have a petulant toddler in charge of our country, right now.

As with most entitled brats, if he can't have it, then he won't let anyone else play with it, either.

We'd be better off with a literal 5 year old in charge than that egomaniacal prick.

[Anonymous]

You voted for him. I voted Kamala for the housing bill she was going to pass.

People prefer racist and hate over good economics or financial wellbeing.

Well it shows you how much the superior white race depends on Black Americans to get shit done because the whole administration is white and is still struggling with Iran.

[Amy10223]

I didn't vote for Trump, no. Not in a million years or paid a million.

[KostasKouvalis]

Yeah, pretty much. He wanted to tear it down initially. He says either his name stays on it, or he's shutting it down

[Amy10223]

He cannot do that without Congressional approval, or pretty much anything on his own. That's why we have Congress, so that he can't go crazy with doing whatever he wants.

[KostasKouvalis]

Sure he can
He tore down a section of the White House without Congressional approval

[KostasKouvalis]

He renamed 2 bodies of water and started a war without Congressional approval

[Amy10223]

There were a lot of court battles about that. The Supreme Court temporarily halted the project, and then proceeded to allow him to while still not resolving the battles against it.
The Kennedy Space Center remained the same; he did nothing but added his name to it--and later it was taken off. This time thankfully, the Court did not rule in his favor.

[Amy10223]

As for remanding bodies of water, he can name anything what he wants. The history books will still have the true names. I will always call it the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario.

[Alex-Snow]

The orange man is a spoiled toddler who will have a crying fit if he does not get his way. He wants his name on the new ballroom, the trump arch etc.

[NathanDavis]

I heard they voted to "pause" it, not close it

and they did it themselves, not Trump... lol

[Amy10223]

Right, the Trump-aligned board of the center chose to close it after a federal court ruled that it could not allow Trump's name on it without Congressional approval and it's in their hands. They closed it because of this dispute. He also asked the Supreme Court to push against mail-in voting and it rejected that, so that's why he's upset withe the Supreme Court now. They finally stood up to him.

[NathanDavis]

so... it's everyone else

but people only focus on Trump

that's the main problem with America today, lol

[Amy10223]

It is a "Trump aligned" Board, which is basically, them doing his bidding. Of course people look at Trump for that. They can't focus on other people who aren't in charge.

[NathanDavis]

yeah.. lobbyists are not the problem

it's Trump... lol

[Bklynbadboy12]

I wouldn't be surprised he's jealous of anybody that gets more shine than he does

[Laulenke]

I’m sorry but if president Krusty had his way he would shut fown America because he wants to change USA to his name

[darkcloud1945]

I think that the Kennedy center is actually going bankrupt.

[Abbycado]

I think so.

[Abbycado]

You know what else? I bet it was also embarrassment of no one wanting to book, too.

[Amy10223]

Wanting to book what?

[Abbycado]

After trump put his name on it, loads of performers canceled their bookings. Trump couldn’t get more. It is a save face thing.

[MrChinaski]

You mean the performing arts center?

[Amy10223]

No, the Kennedy Center.

[goaded]

I think perhaps AI added "Space" to your question.

[Amy10223]

@goaded Actually, the real name is Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, in Washington DC. Mr. Chinaski is right; I wasn't aware of the full name. There is another Space Center in Florida.

[msc545]

Yep, he's going to do that.

[eagle1951]

yeah
