Critics ridicule Trump over new Kennedy Center photo: 'Fragile as a china eggshell'

Political commentators took shots at President Donald Trump on Sunday after CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins posted a new photo of the Kennedy Center's newest renovation project. In May, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to remove Trump's name from the Kennedy Center facade after the administration abruptly put it up without going through the proper approval process. The move was part of Trump's effort to rebrand the center as the Trump Kennedy Center, which prompted bipartisan scrutiny of the administration. In response to the judge's order, the Trump administration put up scaffolding and tarps, obscuring the Kennedy Center's signage. Some political analysts have theorized that the move was designed to make it appear that the administration is removing Trump's name when it really has no intention of doing so. The photo Collins posted showed the Kennedy Center's signage still obscured by scaffolding and tarps, sparking mockery. Donald Trump’s ego is as fragile as a china eggshell, Bill Prady, creator of The Big Bang Theory, posted on X. We are governed by children, Douglas Heye, a former Republican National Committee official, posted on X. This administration's level of pettiness is truly mindboggling, Franklin Harris, an editorial writer for Decatur Daily, posted on X. The name of the Kennedy Center remains covered by a tarp and scaffolding. Two guards are standing in front of it. pic.twitter.com/QguvnUmANL— Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) June 28, 2026
