The inevitable: Bill introduced to rename Kennedy Center after Trump.
[quote]A House Republican’s bill would strip former President Kennedy’s name from the Washington institution created in the 35th commander in chief’s honor and instead have it known as the “Trump Center for the Performing Arts.” The bill, recently introduced by Rep. Bob Onder (R-Mo.), aims to “designate the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as the ‘Donald J. Trump Center for the Performing Arts.'”
[quote]Representatives for Onder and the Kennedy Center didn’t immediately return ITK’s request for comment about the proposed name change. In an earlier statement, Onder called Trump “a patron of the arts and a staple of the pop-culture landscape.”
[quote]Dubbing the bill the Make Entertainment Great Again (MEGA) Act, a play on Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” Onder said, “I cannot think of a more ubiquitous symbol of American exceptionalism in the arts, entertainment, and popular culture at large than President Trump.”

Public Law 98-76 prohibits naming the Kennedy Center after other people
[quote]“No additional memorials shall be erected on the site of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and no portion of the Center shall be named in honor of any person other than John F. Kennedy.”

I'm assuming that the Kennedy Center was named after JFK because he was assassinated while serving as the President of the U.S.
Et tu, Brute?

It was the Kennedy Administration that proposed the building of a center for performing arts in DC, R3.

If Dump is assassinated before 2028 I will rename the toilet in my basement the "Donald J. Trump piss pot."

Yes distraction and he will probably get his way. Democracy is over and it’s a text book-history repeating end. Enjoy Today-Trump Owns Tomorrow.

[quote] House Republican proposals to name the Kennedy Center after President Donald Trump and its opera house after first lady Melania Trump would violate the law by which the Kennedy Center was created, four sources familiar with the issue told NBC News.
[quote]According to U.S. code, “After December 2, 1983, no additional memorials or plaques in the nature of memorials shall be designated or installed in the public areas of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.”
