5:59Now PlayingTrump Got Embarrassed... So He Covered It Up
The President is embarrassed because he lost to the Constitution.
That's not a metaphor.
A federal judge ruled that Donald Trump's name could not remain on the Kennedy Center because Congress—not the President—controls the institution. The name came down. The appeals failed. And then a giant tarp appeared over the spot where Trump's name used to be.
The tarp became the story.
Because embarrassment is a powerful thing.
In today's Opening Argument, Tony Michaels tells the story of report cards hidden in backpacks, dents hidden in driveways, and stains hidden under pillows—and what happens when powerful people discover that reality doesn't disappear just because you cover it up.
This isn't really a story about a sign.
It's a story about a republic.
It's a story about the Constitution.
And it's a story about why the most important word a free people can say to a powerful man is sometimes the simplest word in the English language:
No.
