Why are they using scaffolding for his name removal?

[edhopper]

They used cherry pickers and lifts to put it up,
That would be much faster.

4. No, the marmalade shartcannon is a scofflaw extraordinaire

[RockRaven]

3. Childish passive-aggressiveness. Slow grudging minimal compliance.

6. Trump probably gets a kickback from scaffolding contractor

It’s also slower so more time for an appeal.

7. Foot-dragging.

Like a cranky toddler sent to his room, moving as slowly as possible.

Or, it may be out of concern that extracting the letters is likely to reveal or cause further damage to the marble; the scaffolding might provide a steadier platform for dealing with that eventuality.

But I still think they're following orders from the cranky toddler, foot-dragging abides.

8. My wild guess is that repairs will be involved, requirind some extended detailed work, smoothing and painting.

Making a hole is easy. Repairing it is tougher.

Such is life.

9. So they can hang a tarp to conceal the removal

10. by now you should know that every thing Trump does is half assed

he cuts corners all in the name of expediency. look at the reflecting pool. look at the rose garden. look at the east wing all torn down in the most tacky and speedy manner.

some things need to be done correctly. correct is at times time consuming.

11. I'm going to bet the job won't be finished tonight.

They might get the name off but leave the THE and AND for later. Getting the name off satisfies the court order.

There'll be a tarp up to conceal the name removal. Don't want us to get any joy out of it.
