Eerie photos capture Trump inside Air Force One looking over ‘evil' plans
A photo of Donald Trump seen through the window of Air Force One has people concerned at what he's got planned next.
Trump was yesterday (16 September) pictured through his plane window appearing to look at a large board with the words 'Kennedy Center DEMOLISH' at the top.
He'd been returning from Joint Base Andrews, Maryland after campaigning for a Republican candidate for the upcoming midterm elections, and Trump has had the Kennedy Center in his sights for some time.
The building's board, which is chaired by Trump and has his cabinet members and allies on it, voted to close its doors for two years after a judge blocked them from adding his name to the performing arts center.

Last month the board had voted to include the words 'Renovated and Restored by President Donald J. Trump' on it, but a judge issued a written order saying they couldn't do that and less than an hour later the Kennedy Center board voted that it'd be closing for a couple of years.
Trump has claimed the building is closing 'for safety reasons' but the renovations can't start until there's a ruling on the board's approved name, which would add his to the building, and said he'd take the matter as far as the Supreme Court if he didn't get the answer he wanted.
The pictures of Trump wearing his distinctive red had and looking at a large image that says it's of the Kennedy Center has got people worried, with them saying he's 'finding new ways to be evil' and arguing that it 'LITERALLY SAYS KENNEDY CENTER DEMOLITION'.
Others joked that when getting an idea over to Trump 'they have to present everything to him in gigantic text and pictures'.
Activists are concerned about the future of the Kennedy Center as Trump has announced the building's immediate closure and it has since been fenced off with only construction crews allowed entry to the building.
Court documents include testimony from a woman who opposes Trump's efforts to put his name on the building where she went to the Kennedy Center yesterday and was told it was going to be 'closed for the whole day', with the order coming from 'higher-ups'.
She said she returned later that morning to find metal gates had been erected, and witnessed a forklift bringing more metal barriers to deny access to the building.
In the court documents she claims she also saw the forklift 'run into and hit the pillars several times', and was told the Kennedy Center was closed for repairs with no clear idea of when it would reopen.
Congress has allocated $257 million to pay for the renovation of the Kennedy Center but that's only happening if Trump's name is on it, and activists are worried that the president could take a 'wrecking ball' to it after what he did to the East Wing of the White House.
Trump also plans to rename the plaza in front of the building after himself as well.
