It was reportedly granted by the court. Were it not for the addition of a curtain, it could have been done hours ago. <\/p>\n<p>As a commenter elsewhere observed, the ten hours it took to build scaffolding to set up the curtains are solely to protect Trump&#8217;s tiny little ego. A cherry picker was used to put <em>up<\/em> the letters. It could have been used to take them down as well. But he doesn&#8217;t want anybody to get photos of the letters coming down.
