I want to highlight for psychiatric clinicians some lines from Trump’s failed emergency motion to the DC Circuit seeking to keep his name on the Kennedy Center. “The name ‘Kennedy’ is still on the Building, but in a much stronger form,” Trump writes. (That is, below his.) 1/5
Even if the courts could reach the merits, nothing in the Center's
organic legislation prohibits adopting a secondary name, and doing so is hardly unusual. The name "Kennedy" is still on the Building, but in a much stronger
form. The structure will now function as a financially sound and physically
beautıtul enterprise, as opposed to a bankrupt eyesore that, for years, will look
like nothing more than an abandoned hulk.
