President Donald Trump appears to have renamed the U.S. Institute of Peace Headquarters after himself, despite his administration’s ongoing efforts to dismantle the congressionally funded nonprofit.

A new silver sign reading “Donald J. Trump” was added to the facade on Wednesday.

“The United States Institute of Peace was once a bloated, useless entity that blew $50 million per year while delivering no peace,” White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said in a statement to The Hill about the apparent name change.
