In renaming USIP to DJTIP, his is literally replacing "United States" with himself. A real "l'état c'est moi" moment
Starting momentarily: Trump attends peace agreement signing ceremony with Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo at the US Institute of Peace building in DC (which the administration is now calling—without a hint of irony—the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace.)

Trump had the president of the U.S. Institute of Peace forcibly removed from his office earlier this year.
A federal court ruled that his dismantling of the USIP was a "gross usurpation of power"—the case is still in court.
Now he's slapping his name and his own toxic brand on the building anyway.

Is there reporting that Trump ordered the take over of USIP? If not why is his name on it. All that kerfluffle then, was pre-meditated? How is it not?

SCOOP: Sources tell me Donald Trump's name was added to the exterior of the US Institute of Peace building ahead of Thursday's peace agreement signing between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which will be held inside the building. Confirming if it's been officially renamed.
