White House renames building the 'Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace'

President Donald Trump is eager to be recognized as a peacemaker. His administration obliged Wednesday by renaming the building that houses the U.S. Institute of Peace in downtown D.C.

“Donald J. Trump” is now emblazoned in several places on what has often been dubbed the Peace building, according to eyewitnesses and photos obtained by The Washington Post. A White House official said the building would now be known as the “Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace.”

The move comes after the president’s work to settle global conflicts this year and ahead of his plan to host leaders from Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo to sign a White House-brokered peace deal between the two countries. That signing is expected to take place at the USIP on Thursday.

Trump is also widely expected on Friday to receive FIFA’s inaugural Peace Prize, a new award created to honor individuals who have “helped to unite people all over the world in peace,” at the nearby Kennedy Center.

Blasting boats out of the water, sending troops to beat up and arrest U.S. citizens, sending ICE to arrest people without warrants—and he wants a fauking PEACE PRIZE!

Shame on Donald Trump.

On the website it used to tell about Spark Matsunaga’s epic labor to create it. They have erased him from the website and my stomach is turning over.

items, money, and recognition. And NEVER about the country.

Fortunately, this can be removed after day 1 he's out of office.

Just like all the other shit that will change back when he's gone.
