Kennedy Center board votes to add Trump's name to DC arts institution
"I have just been informed that the highly respected Board of the Kennedy Center, some of the most successful people from all parts of the world, have just voted unanimously to rename the Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center, because of the unbelievable work President Trump has done over the last year in saving the building, the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, wrote in a post on X."
"Joe Kennedy III, grandson of the former president who also served a congressman for Massachusetts, said he doubted the center's name could legally be changed. The Kennedy Center is a living memorial to a fallen president and named for President Kennedy by federal law. It can no sooner be renamed than can someone rename the Lincoln Memorial, no matter what anyone says, Kennedy III posted to X."
The White House announced that the Kennedy Center board is moving ahead with a proposal to rename the arts and culture-focused institution in honor of Donald Trump. The White House press secretary said the board voted unanimously to rename the Kennedy Center the Trump-Kennedy Center, citing President Trump's work saving, reconstructing, and restoring the building's finances and reputation. If the change succeeds it would be called the Trump-Kennedy Center, though family members and legal observers say the rename may conflict with federal law designating the center as a living memorial to John F. Kennedy. The initiative is described as part of a broader effort to reshape the capital's arts and culture institutions, and Republicans have previously proposed renaming parts of the center and ordered reviews of other institutions.
