Kennedy Center Renamed to Include Trump Amidst Controversy

• The Kennedy Center's signage now includes President Donald Trump's name following a board vote to rename it "Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts."
• The renaming has sparked legal questions regarding the board's authority, as Congress designated it a John F. Kennedy memorial in 1964.
• Kennedy family members, including Maria Shriver, have criticized the move as "beyond comprehension."
• Trump claims he "saved the building" and plans to seek additional congressional funding, promoting "record-setting numbers" from donors.
• This is the second federal building renamed after Trump this month, following the US Institute of Peace.
