Trump Name Added to Kennedy Center Facade

The name of former U.S. President Donald J. Trump now appears on the facade of Washington D.C.'s Kennedy Center. Workers installed large letters spelling "Trump" above the existing name, "The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts." The change is visible on the building's exterior. The naming follows a 2019 law passed by Congress. That legislation awarded the honor for Mr. Trump's role in signing a key funding bill for the center's renovation. The Kennedy Center is one of the nation's premier venues for theater, dance, and music. It has carried President John F. Kennedy's name since its opening in 1971. Center officials confirm the installation is now complete. The interior of the building continues to bear President Kennedy's name throughout.
