US EditionKennedy Center Wastes No Time Adding Trump's Name to ...
The Kennedy Center's board, appointed by Trump, voted to rename the venue despite legal concerns and family objections over the historic cultural center's name.
- On Dec 19 workmen on scissor lifts installed metal lettering and revealed the updated name combining President Donald J. Trump with the Kennedy Center.
- Amid a broader push this year to brand institutions, President Donald J. Trump has attached his name to Washington projects during his second term, defying the norm that national landmarks are named posthumously.
- The centre announced the updated exterior designation on its rebranded X account and shared photos of the lettering, while President Donald J. Trump said on Dec 18 he was surprised by the rebranding.
- Kennedy family members criticised the renaming as 'beyond wild' and legal advisers question if Congress approval is required to change the national centre's name.
- Naming a national institution after a sitting president is unprecedented in United States history, raising questions about precedent as commentators link the change to reshaping national cultural institutions under President Donald J. Trump.
