22. I think it's hilarious how they did it.

They didn't want to move any of the existing letters which are probably bolted into the cement and centered.

Hence the awkward wording:

The Donald J. Trump and
^The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.

They didn't want it off-center, and Don isn't dead and memorialized yet.
Someone in their back pocket knows it's going to be removed eventually and didn't want to alter the original lettering.
That, or they didn't want to completely tear it all out and re-do the spacing. That costs money and it was done on the cheap. It's a sharpie-job!

Hope his name is just temporarily hot-glued to the side of the building so they can pop the letters right off with a chisel in 2029.
