Trump's 'strange behavior' on DC project bewilders Morning Joe hosts: 'Is he scared?'

When discussing the legacy President Donald Trump is likely to leave behind regarding his deeply unpopular war against Iran, the cast of MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” pivoted Wednesday to another legacy project of the president’s, one that host Mika Brzezinski said Trump had been exhibiting “strange behavior over since last week.The legacy project in question was the rebranding of the Kennedy Performing Arts Center to feature Trump’s name on the building in Washington, D.C. A federal judge ordered Trump’s name be removed from the building, with workers finally taking the president’s name down last weekend. Visitors hoping to catch a glance at the modification, however, have been disappointed to see that a large tarp had been set up to obscure the spot where Trump’s name was once plastered.“There's a sense in Washington that he, at 80, is beginning to show his real priorities – his priorities are to build his own legacy, put his name on things,” noted The New York Times’ Peter Baker during an appearance on “Morning Joe.” “The bigger legacy would have been to have a better result to this war... that means a whole lot more than having your name on the Kennedy Center, that means a whole lot more than whether the Reflecting Pool has algae or not.”Brzezinski interjected to note that, despite Trump’s name being removed from the Kennedy Center last weekend, the tarp partially covering the building appears to remain up, with The Washington Post reporting the tarp remaining as of Tuesday.“The Kennedy Center, just a quick point about that: it shows what he considers important,” Brzezinski said.“That canopy that they have put over the changing of the name of the Kennedy Center taking Donald Trump's name off – is that still up? Is he too scared to show that to the American people, or too humiliated? It's a strange behavior, and that is the mindset that's dealing with this war in Iran.”
