All we can be sure of is, regardless of what the deal says, both sides will claim victory.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Kennedy Center was running out of options Friday evening to keep President Donald Trump’s name on the facade of the iconic performing arts venue.
A judge earlier in the afternoon rejected a request to pause a court-ordered deadline of Friday to remove references to Trump from the building and other aspects of the Kennedy Center’s operations. The institution appealed that ruling, an effort that was also rebuffed Friday evening.
Scaffolding was erected earlier in the day around a section of the building that includes Trump’s name, though there was no effort to remove it by 7 p.m. Eastern Time. Storms with lightning were dancing around Washington, adding to the challenge for workers.
After ignoring the Kennedy Center for much of his first term, Trump has wielded tremendous influence over the venue during his return to office. Just a month into his second term, he ousted the center’s previous leadership and replaced it with a board of trustees that named him chairman. Trump’s name was quickly added to the building.
Donald Trump has not done Britain many favours of late. But when he rounded on Oman late last month, threatening military action after claims that Muscat was helping Iran turn the Strait of Hormuz into a tollbooth, he may inadvertently have helped secure the future of Britain’s most important Arab relationship...

...he declared that “Oman will behave just like everybody else, or we’ll have to blow them up”...
...Quite why Mr Trump would turn against a pivotal ally that has been a friend of the United States for nearly two centuries remains the subject of conjecture...Because he's a stupid, unintelligent, narcissistic fuckwit who thinks the entire world should do what he says, with a Hitler-style attitude to third-countries neutrality.
