Politics donald trump JFK Karoline Leavitt
There was something about Karoline Leavitt congratulating President Kennedy on the infuriating ‘Trump-Kennedy Center’ rebrand that had everyone and their dog doing side-eyes – 19 scathing takedowns
We’re beginning to wonder if cognitive impairment is contagious, because that would explain a whole lot about Trump cultist and purveyor of White House propaganda, Karoline Leavitt, who announced a predictable change in a fairly unpredictable way.

There were many, many problems with the statement. These, for example –
Firstly, the vote wasn’t unanimous – or democratic.
For the record. This was not unanimous. I was muted on the call and not allowed to speak or voice my opposition to this move. Also for the record, this was not on the agenda. This was not consensus. This is censorship. https://t.co/D1zGV7xiWV pic.twitter.com/npNvSIy6sV

Secondly, it would take an act of Congress to change the name.

The Kennedy Center is a living memorial to a fallen president and named for President Kennedy by federal law. It can no sooner be renamed than can someone rename the Lincoln Memorial, no matter what anyone says. https://t.co/VpZhNvx7So

Some things leave you speechless, and enraged, and in a state of disbelief. At times such as that, it’s better to be quiet. For how long, I can’t say. TDS in full display. https://t.co/LrzPzj5qOs

1) The John F. Kennedy Centre is a memorial to former President Kennedy following his assassination in 1963.
2) Why the hell are you congratulating a deceased former president after desecrating his memorial by adding the name of an adjudicated rapist and felon? https://t.co/aAWFOzLdYw
