"In December 2025, the board of a certain longstanding Washington, D.C. performing arts center voted to change its name from referencing one head of state to two. That vote is the reason that the nation's capital is now home to The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts - though there's still a legal question of whether or not Congress needs to be involved in that decision."
"One thing is clear about the newly-renamed Kennedy Center: it could face a challenge getting a website up and running that reflects its current name. That's because, as The Washington Post's Elahe Izadi revealed, a writer named Toby Morton bought the domains trumpkennedycenter.org and trumpkennedycenter.com several months ago. Morton has a long history as a comedy writer; his resume includes stints writing for both South Park and Mad TV."
Washington, D.C.'s Kennedy Center board voted in December 2025 to add Donald J. Trump's name alongside John F. Kennedy, creating a dual-name institution and prompting questions about whether Congress must be involved. The renamed center may struggle to deploy an official website because matching domains were purchased months earlier by satirist Toby Morton. Morton specializes in building official-looking parody sites targeting politicians and organizations and plans a site that reflects the renaming's absurdity. The renaming has had concrete consequences, including the loss of a long-running Christmas Eve jazz concert at the center.
