Kennedy Center Board Decides to Inscribe Trump’s Name on Building
The New York Times • • general
Key Points:
- The John F. Kennedy Center board voted to inscribe “Restored and Renovated by President Donald J. Trump” beneath the main signage, challenging a federal judge’s order.
- This decision directs officials to proceed by “all legal means” and follows the board’s approval of Trump’s plan to close the center for renovations.
- Last year, Trump’s name was added but subsequently removed after a judge ruled only Congress can rename the institution; the center is currently appealing that ruling.
- The new inscription appears to be a strategic attempt to circumvent a federal law prohibiting additional memorials or plaques in the Kennedy Center’s public areas.
