Kennedy Center says it has fully removed Trump's name from its building after court order
Workers removed the letters after a judge ruled the board lacked authority to rename the federally chartered arts center without congressional approval.
- The Kennedy Center officially confirmed Saturday that President Donald Trump's name has been entirely removed from the building and its grounds, complying with a strict federal court order.
- The center's leadership filed a formal notice of compliance around 11:00 a.m. EDT, with Chief Operating Officer Matt Floca certifying under oath that crews successfully excised all physical exterior signage that purported to rename the venue after Trump.
- Workers carried out the removal under the shroud of heavy tarps during the predawn hours, preventing a crowd of gathered onlookers from witnessing the exact moment the 18 letters reading "The Donald J. Trump and" were unbolted from the marble facade.
- The Trump administration simultaneously scrubbed the president's name from digital spaces, updating the performing arts venue's official website, erasing references from its YouTube and voicemail channels, and officially withdrawing all related trademark applications.
- The legal resolution restores the venue's historic name—The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts—following a definitive ruling by U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, who affirmed that only Congress holds the legislative authority to alter a national monument.
