This DC Local's Response To Trump Renaming The Kennedy Center Is Going Viral

The installation of Donald Trump's name above John F. Kennedy's at the Kennedy Center sparked debate about honor and legacy, with Congress holding authority over any official renaming.

  • Last week, a photograph showed a worker installing President Donald Trump's name above the Kennedy Center's namesake, prompting strong reactions.
  • The administration's earlier moves removed the Kennedy Center's board and installed allies who sought to rename it, but `Now, Congress does have the ultimate authority to change the name`, Finn noted.
  • On Monday, Real America's Voice hosts Emily Finn, Gina Loudon, Terrance Bates, and David Brody debated the name change, with Loudon and Bates opposing renaming until after President Donald Trump’s death as Bates said, 'There are also procedures and processes in place to change those.'
  • Ric Grenell, new chairman of the Kennedy Center, pushed back on requiring congressional approval, while David Brody, Real America's Voice host, said `my guess is it'll stay up`.
  • This episode fits into a pattern where the White House seeks to rebrand government property, including the U.S. Department of Defense and Washington, D.C. public golf courses, drawing criticism from Charles Allen, Rep. Jamie Raskin, and Sen. Tim Kaine.
