Just when you thought that Donald Trump had descended to unimaginable depths in order to provide the most repulsive demonstrations of his egomaniacal narcissism, he goes the extra mile to show that for him there literally is no bottom.

Earlier this year, Trump illegally added his name to the front of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. It was an act of extraordinary conceit that was universally condemned. Shortly afterward, there was a lawsuit filed and Trump was ordered to remove his name. Which he did, but then hid the fact that it was removed from the front of the Center behind a giant tarp, which is still there.

Undeterred by the rebuke Trump received from the courts and the public, he is still pursuing his shameless quest for undeserved attention. At first he tried to take a sleazy path around the Court’s ruling by trying to add his name below Kennedy’s in an addendum saying that the Center was “Renovated and Restored by Donald J. Trump.” But now that that scheme didn’t seem to work, he is actually threatening to demolish the entire building if he doesn’t get his way. As reported by the New York Times…

“Lawyers for the Trump administration told a federal judge that the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts desperately needs the major renovation ordered by President Trump and raised the specter that it would need to be ‘taken down’ if those plans are blocked. […] The suggestion was something of an aside in the Trump administration’s 21-page filing, which responded to an effort by a Democratic lawmaker to block the center from inscribing the president’s name on the building.”

That’s right. Trump is threatening to demolish the Center, that was built to memorialize a slain president, because he can’t put his name on it in violation of the law. There couldn’t possibly be a better example of how pitifully stunted Trump’s emotional growth is. Or of how grossly maladjusted and self-centered he is. Not that he hasn’t tried. He even illegally bulldozed the East Wing of the White House in order to replace it with his vanity ballroom.

Trump’s mission to destroy the Kennedy Center wasn’t limited to his vandalizing it with his name. He also fired the governing board of the Center, replaced them his own unqualified flunkies, and appointed himself chairman. The result of that was typical of his record of failure. The Times also noted that…

“[T]he closure plans may be a cover for the fact that since Mr. Trump’s takeover of the center, many audience members, artists and donors have fled an increasingly politicized institution. Citing internal financial projections at the center, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that ticket revenue and fund-raising had plummeted after the board voted to add Mr. Trump’s name to the center, setting it up to fall nearly $100 million short of its revenue target this fiscal year.”

This why the acronym ETTD exists (Everything Trump Touches Dies). And when he fails he to get his way he has to make sure that he kills off whatever he screwed up so that no one else can enjoy it. And worst of all, that’s what he’s doing to America.
