"tRump's White House gutted the Institute of Peace, fired its staff and called it a 'bloated, useless entity.' Now Trump has renamed the institute he tried to destroy after himself." Judge has ruled that the government’s armed takeover was illegal. Judgment is stayed while the government appeals.

Just a reminder: the Institute of Peace is an independent agency created by an act of Congress in 1984 and funded solely by Congress. No individual in the maladministration can change its name, only Congress can. Any judicial ruling finding otherwise is flawed.

Tin 2025, #ThatAsshole has overseen:
👉Turning peaceful U.S. cities into war zones.
👉Murder-by-drone of unknown seamen.
👉A "cease-fire" in Gaza that allows Bibi to keep killing innocents.
👉Capitulation of Ukraine to Putin's demands.

So, of course👇

He guts the Institute of Peace. He threatens war in Venezuela and Nigeria, and brings terror to the streets of his own country. And then he has the audacity to dust off the mothballed building and slap his name on it - as if he is some great peacemaker.
President Donald Trump is eager to be recognized as a peacemaker.

His administration obliged by renaming the building that houses the U.S. Institute of Peace in downtown D.C. https://wapo.st/48zkAzK

Former USIP Lawyer on DOGE: ‘Brass Knuckles on an Authoritarian Fist’
george foote still There are vivid memories of the day when workers from Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency arrived at the headquarters of the United States Institute of Peace. USIP's external general counsel, he has been part of an effort to prevent the US government from taking control of the organization. When DOGE activists arrived at the USIP offices in the spring they arrived like a “strike team,” Foote told the audience at WIRED's Big Interview event in San Francisco on Thursday. The DOGE team left behind "a half-pound of weed" — possibly, a fellow panelist said, half an ounce — and ultimately it seemed like "they didn't know what to do with that space," Foote said.

Renaming the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) — an independent, congressionally founded NGO — to the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace after gutting its staff and seizing control is a cynical power-play, not a “peace legacy.”

The building is privately owned by USIP, not a federal building. It was bought by the independent agency using private donations, which also provide an endowment used for maintenance etc. If the court rules it can be handed to the felon that will be outright theft.

Taking over institutions and putting your name on it is another sign of authoritarianism.
