"The Kennedy Center started the work of adding Donald Trump's name to the building on Friday, a day after the president's handpicked board voted to do so. Several blue tarps were hung in front of the institution early Friday to block views of the work underway. A large letter D was seen on the exterior before the final tarps went up, along with workers on scaffolding at the center, which was named for John F. Kennedy, a Democratic president."
"The board voted to rename The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts to The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts. Trump, a Republican, is chairman of the board. Critics of the vote, including Democratic members of Congress who are ex-officio board members, as well as some historians, insist that only Congress can change the name."
The Kennedy Center began work adding Donald Trump's name to its exterior following a board vote to rename the institution. Blue tarps were hung to block views, and a large letter D and workers on scaffolding were visible before the final tarps were installed. The board approved changing the name to The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts. Trump serves as chairman of the board. Democratic ex-officio board members and some historians contend that only Congress can legally change the name. The Kennedy Center follows another Washington building that recently received Trump's name.
