"As soon as Trump began gutting the Kennedy Center board earlier this year, I thought, 'Yep, that name's going on the building,'"
"[What they show now] isn't intentional content on my part and will disappear once the domains are pointed to active hosting,"
"I've received a large number of messages from creatives, writers, designers, and performers offering to contribute and help elevate what comes next,"
"That enthusiasm is shaping the direction of the upcoming site, which will focus squarely on Trump's narcissism, branding impulses, and the broader cultural implicatio"
The Kennedy Center board renamed the venue as The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts. Comedian and activist Toby Morton purchased trumpkennedycenter.org and trumpkennedycenter.com in August anticipating that renaming. Both domains are parked at GoDaddy and currently show automatically generated syndicated content; Morton intends to point them to active hosting and make the sites live. Morton has previously acquired satirical domain names targeting various politicians and public figures and describes himself as the creator of anti-fascist websites. Early reactions have been largely positive, with creatives offering to help build the upcoming site, which will focus on Trump's narcissism, branding impulses, and cultural implications.
