Gv WireBy The New York TimesJune 20, 2026In the early hours of June 13, in an action that turned out to be news around the world, workers hung massive tarps from scaffolding across the front of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and under court order removed President Donald Trump’s name from the marble facade.Or did they?True, the center’s operations chief, Matt Floca, filed a sworn declaration with a federal court later that day saying that Trump’s name had been removed. And true, a New York Times photographer captured evidence through an opening in the tarp that the letter “A” came off. Another photographer recorded evidence of the demise of a “D.”But in a downer denouement for Trump’s critics, a week later the tarps are still there, prompting some to wonder whether at least some of the letters are, too. As of Friday evening, there was no visual evidence that the letters splashed across the building had been restored to “The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.”
So are they keeping the tarp up to hide the removal of Trump's name, or is there another reason?
