to remove his name, but deliberately left JFK's name covered so nobody can see that name. Since the court order did NOT anticipate and specify that he must leave the Kennedy name visible, he is playing a childish game. "If You can't see MY name there, you won't see HIS name there, either.

Storms and strong winds might take down the tarp, or tear it in pieces. But perhaps we need another court order for him to remove the tarp.

What a disgusting POS he is.
