If you're keeping score at home and have completely lost track of what is the most recent outrage cycle, you can scratch off "it's now called the Gulf of America," "WH East Wing renovation/ballroom construction" and "the Pentagon's blowing up the boats of drug runners for the cartels" and replace it with "The Kennedy Center is now called The Trump-Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts":
Today, we proudly unveil the updated exterior designation—honoring the leadership of President Donald J. Trump and the enduring legacy of John F. Kennedy. 🇺🇸

The Kennedy family, including Maria Shriver, are beside themselves and trying to come to grips with what's happened.
Also trying to come to grips with it is former CNN White House reporter and TDS-addled drama queen Jim Acosta, who reported "from the scene of the crime" in front of the building with a new name which he will never speak of. Stunning and brave, but we're used to that:
Reporting from the scene of the crime. Trump has slapped his name on the Kennedy Center. But we will never call it the Trump Kennedy Center: pic.twitter.com/DFlabMjZPJ

In the spirit of bipartisanship, Richard Grenell gave Acosta a warm welcome:
Welcome to the Trump Kennedy Center, Jim. https://t.co/8hGMbnAl1F

Enjoy your time in front of the Trump Kennedy Center, Mr. Acosta!
Acosta never showed any interest in the place until Trump did.

Trump could rename a road on federal land in northern Alaska after himself and Acosta would be trying to hire a dog sled guide to get him up there for a defiant photo op.
