After a court recently ruled that only Congress could approve a name change on The Kennedy Center, the "Trump" letters were taken down over the weekend.
Former CNN reporter Jim Acosta, who now walks the TDS beat around Washington, DC, was all over the story as Trump's name was being removed. Acosta likened it to the fall of the Berlin Wall (no, seriously, that's what he did).
After livestreaming all day and night trying to see Trump’s name being removed from the Kennedy Center building, Jim Acosta exclaims:

“This is very much like watching the Berlin Wall coming down."
"It is a sign that humankind can stand up against tyranny."
Holy hell. Just… pic.twitter.com/ccHzWXtT48
It was perhaps the most ridiculous lack of historic scope we've ever seen, but clearly Acosta has over the years convinced himself that Trump represents repressive authoritarian rule.
Acosta was back later with another update, kind of like Ted Koeppel's nightly "Iranian hostage crisis, day ____" reports except in front of an inanimate object while not many people actually care:

Is anybody else sensing a Pulitzer here!?

He should have made it a pay-per-view event.
