'Downright weird': Kennedy family tears into Trump for 'insult' to JFK's legacy

https://www.rawstory.com/alternet-posts/kennedy-family-trump/

Maria Shriver, the former First Lady of California, wrote: “The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy.”

She called the renaming “beyond comprehension,” “beyond wild,” “downright weird,” and “obsessive in a weird way,” while explaining that the Kennedy Center was named in honor of a man who was interested in the arts, culture, education, language, and history.

“Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport, rename the Lincoln Memorial, the Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Jefferson Memorial. The Trump Smithsonian. The list goes on.”

“Can we not see what is happening here? C’mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny,” she said. “Just when you think [someone] can’t stoop any lower, down they go…”

1. The old demented dog is trying to mark its territory - it is pissing on everything everywhere

[MustLoveBeagles]

2. An apt description

[Hey Joe]

5. And shitting on everything else.

[LymphocyteLover]

18. as Steven Colbert said last night, tRUMP just wants to rub his balls on everything before he's gone

[31st Street Bridge]

27. All Felon-47 names will vanish ...

like every Adolf Hitler Platz in Europe.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

41. With "F.U." graffiti on public buildings...

... eom.

[vapor2]

44. Very good analogy

[Irish_Dem]

3. Trump is destroying everything the people love and respect.

[FakeNoose]

33. I'll bet there was a time in his life when HE loved and respected JFK also

[Irish_Dem]

37. He is not capable of loving or respecting any one.

He may envy or wish to be like someone.
Or want their power and money.

But it is not love or respect.

Trump wishes he were like JFK in terms of the respect and admiration JFK got.

[FakeNoose]

39. He was a Democrat as a young man, that's all I know

Whether he ever respected anyone, I couldn't say.

[Irish_Dem]

40. Trump does what benefits him in some way.

I can give you the profile.
He is a classic narcissistic psychopath.
And has been since childhood.

He is not capable of normal adult feelings or thoughts.

[jaymac]

4. yes!

We see it...what can be done about it?
Seems like nothing,....press doesn't stand up to him (piggy?), news stations still reciting, "war department, gulf of America" etc.
We will be cheering when the press finally does it's job en mass and condemns this crap.

[hannah]

26. I suppose

What we can do is a gigantic campaign on steroids to never ever elect another Republican to office again.

[leftstreet]

6. It's more troubling that no one is stopping him n/t

[kwolf68]

7. Yup

No one stops the dude in North Korea either. It's out of fear. I call those people cowards. The ones who ARE actually ok with this crap they can piss off.

[Kid Berwyn]

11. Thank you for pointing out the big issue.

Who in authority stood up to stop Trump as he dismantled Civil Rights?

[leftstreet]

13. And we wonder why people lose faith in govt

[31st Street Bridge]

28. Or that all this mayhem can be caused by one person

And an awful one at that.

[slightlv]

38. It's not just rump alone, tho...

and that's why getting rid of him won't cure the problem. It's miller and noem and kesbreath, and just about everyone else in his cabinet and departments. They're all either demented like him, psychopathic, or marinated in faux-religious gender roles. We need to clean house of ALL of them, and their minions. Period.

[CrispyQ]

29. The republican congress, scratch that, the republican cowards could stop this insanity.

A trumper acquaintance told me he couldn't ditch the entire republican party because of one fascist. I reminded him they could stop this anytime. Crickets.

[Bev54]

8. The Kennedy Centre name is enshrined in law, they do not have the power to legally

change the name, no matter what they say.

[Mr.Bee]

15. All In Favor Say "Aye"

(mute the nays)
Unanimous!

[Ray Bruns]

9. "Can we not see what is happening here? C'mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified"

Yes. We see it. The problem is 34% of the population and republicans in the Congress either can’t see it or don’t care.

[Miles Archer]

10. I'm gonna say "Don't Care."

Republicans in Congress are terrified to utter a peep that is not in praise of Dear Leader.

The 34% think it's a laff riot every time Trump pisses someone off.

They see it. They don't care.

[NotHardly]

17. Wonder what he has on all of them

[Justice matters.]

24. Money to fund challengers to make them lose their job and free benefits.

pedo the felon has a casino-owner's wife who wants him to grab her by her... for another $250M... and they know it.

[Miles Archer]

25. Yeah, that's his knee-jerk reaction, primary them.

And so far, it's been pretty damned effective. One of Trump's "skills," being a predator, is seeking out weak people and immediately identifying their most severe vulnerabilities. Then, he exploits it, they cower in fear, and back off.

[Mr.Bee]

16. Because

They are 'Not-Sees'

[ColoringFool]

12. Maria. Maria, Maria, Maria! You Think Inside The Box! Try THIS......

"The Trump United States of America."

Crazy, you say?

Ask Trump’s chums, the Saud family.

And then remember his unquenchable thirst to surpass everyone, everywhere, all at once.

[Historic NY]

14. Especially when its the John F Kennedy 'memorial center' for the performing arts

It was created as a memorial to Kennedy deceased the other asshole is still alive.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

21. He obviously knows something we don't--but are hoping for....

[live love laugh]

45. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

[LymphocyteLover]

19. Do Republicans really not care about this outrageous and gross behavior???

[Ol Janx Spirit]

23. I'm sure a lot of them do...but the more it hurts us the better it makes them feel...

...which is just more gross behavior on top of gross behavior.

Government and all of this has been a joke to Republicans for a long time and they treat it all as such.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

20. Funny how he "didn't expect it," but they already had the signage ready to go as if they...

...are just changing the weekly special on the grocery store marquee.

Yeah, right.

Trumplethinskin knows his days are numbered--either politically or literally--and is in a desperate race to see his name on everything before it happens.

I hope he gets to see his name chiseled off of these places of honor and reinstalled on urinals throughout the country.

In a way it is kind of nice of him to leave us plenty of things to cheer about cathartically as we take them down--kind of like when they toppled the statue of Saddam Hussein.

[SirReal69]

22. Trump Dump

They should rename the Staten Island Dump Trump Dump. It makes way more sense than renaming The Kennedy Center.

[Sneederbunk]

30. Sorry, we will have to wait until 2029 for there to be a cleanup on Aisle 4.

[Emile]

31. Only one thing about Trump that will go down in history,

THE WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

That will follow his legacy forever.

[durablend]

32. The right is all high-fives

"PWNING THE LIBS ONE STEP AT A TIME AW YES!!!!!!!!"

[beaglelover]

34. They are all deplorable dirtbags.

[Buddyzbuddy]

35. As disgusting as he and his actions are,

imagine the joy we'll have watching the Felon suffer the complete and humiliating erasure of his existence. He will be the world's biggest damn target. Every imaginable way the world can think of to make all of his greatest fears come true. No amount of Secret Service can protect his already frail ego from the humiliations that will come his way.

The only way for him to avoid it will be if Putin builds a bunker with no ability to receive live broadcasts. Nothing printed after 2026 will be given to him. No contact from the outside world. In his mind he'll think he's avoided consequences when in fact, he has been isolated in his own self made prison.
At least it's a nice thought I've had.

[QueerDuck]

36. "Just when you think [someone] can't stoop any lower, down they go..."

PERFECT!!

[Envirogal]

42. Talk to your ex

Since he was trying to prevent California from competing in the gerrymandering rigging. If we had listened to old Arnold, we might not be able to reduce this TYRANT’s power in the House in 2026.

Yes, Maria, it has never been funny. The Kennedy’s should have been a lot more vocal in heeding warnings. Being a class act and statesmen-like is not needed in a time like this—dissent is not a spectator sport.

[Martin68]

43. The whole thing is disgusting.

[live love laugh]

46. Jealousy... they hate genuine greatness. Trump and Republicans have never been and will never be great.

[bdamomma]

47. This regime

is shitting on all of us. They do not care. When is this going to stop???
