Trump’s name added to Kennedy Center exterior, one day after vote to rename
AI Summary
In December 2025, Donald Trump's name was added to the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., renaming it "The Donald J Trump and the John F Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts." This occurred just a day after a vote by Trump-appointed board members to rename the venue. The move has drawn criticism from Kennedy family members, historians, and Democratic lawmakers, who argue that the renaming violates the 1964 law designating the center as a memorial to John F. Kennedy. Critics assert that only an act of Congress can alter the center's name, as the current board lacks the legal authority. The original law also prohibits memorializing anyone else or adding another name to the building's exterior.
