3:51Now Playing"The Donald J. Trump Institute for Peace" - Take That In for a Second
Elon Musk's DOGE raided the US Institute for Peace building earlier this year, threatening staff with police and armed private security to gain entrance. Once inside, DOGE operatives destroyed the facility, seized computers and data, and left the building in ruins. Months later, when former employees returned, they discovered rats, food waste, and marijuana scattered throughout. The US Institute for Peace effectively ceased operations, leaving the building vacant and dormant for nine months.
The New York Times reports the building has reemerged with Donald Trump's name installed on the front. Workers removed the original United States Institute for Peace lettering, leaving visible outlines, and replaced it with Donald J. Trump signage. The facility is now called the Donald J. Trump United States Institute for Peace, though only Trump's name appears prominently on the exterior. The renamed building will host a peace deal signing between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
This follows similar actions at USAID, where operations were disrupted resulting in 600,000 deaths among the world's poorest populations since January, including 400,000 children. The transformation of the Peace Institute from a functioning organization to a building bearing Trump's name represents another chapter in government agency takeovers and rebranding efforts under the current administration.
