> Kennedy Center Board Votes Unanimously to Add Trump’s Name to Iconic D.C. Venue

also, didn't the kennedy family donate the land the center sits on?

i would think they would have put something into the grant mandating that the center always be named after jfk

Congratulations to President Kennedy!

Even if you support his politics, this is sick and indicative of him being a narcissist.  At least wait until you are out of office.

Kerry Kennedy: 'Grab a Pickax' to Remove Trump's Name From Kennedy Center

By Solange Reyner    |   Friday, 19 December 2025 07:18 PM EST

Kerry Kennedy, daughter of former Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, vowed Friday to "grab a pickax" to remove President Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts after it was added to the building earlier that day.

"Three years and one month from today, I'm going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I'm going to need help holding the ladder," she posted to X.

"Are you in? Applying for my carpenter's card today, so it'll be a union job!!!"

The Kennedy Center, which Congress designated as a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy, added Trump's name to the performing arts center on Friday, a day after the center's board of trustees voted to make the change.

The board, selected by Trump, voted unanimously to add his name to the center originally named for the 35th president, a Democrat. Trump, a Republican, is also the board's chair.

The Kennedy Center said the vote recognized Trump's work to revitalize the institution.

The law explicitly prohibits the board of trustees from making the center into a memorial to anyone other than John F. Kennedy, and from putting another person's name on the building's exterior.

Kerry Kennedy criticized the decision.

"President Trump and his administration have spent the past year repressing free expression, targeting artists, journalists, and comedians, and erasing the history of Americans whose contributions made our nation better and more just," she wrote Thursday on X.

"President Kennedy proudly stood for justice, peace, equality, dignity, diversity, and compassion for those who suffer. President Trump stands in opposition to these values, and his name should not be placed alongside President Kennedy's."

The Kennedy Center is the latest building in Washington to have Trump's name added to it. The U.S. Institute of Peace was recently renamed after him.

"The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie amplified the arts, celebrated the arts, stood up for the arts and artists."
"It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not."
"Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport, rename the Lincoln Memorial, the Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Jefferson Memorial. The Trump Smithsonian. The list goes on."
"This is not dignified. This is not funny. This is way beneath the stature of the job. It’s downright weird. It’s obsessive in a weird way. Just when you think somone can’t stoop any lower, down they go…"

Trump should install the "Inga Binga" monument in honor of JFK.  Look it up.
