Judge Blocks Trump Name on Kennedy Center Again, Building Closes Immediately
A federal court in Washington D.C. prohibited placing President Trump’s name on the Kennedy Center or its plaza. Following this ruling, the center closed immediately due to safety concerns. The dispute continues after previous attempts to rename the institution were blocked. The board claimed financial issues and cited a ceiling collapse as reasons for renovation, seeking Trump’s support in exchange for recognition. However, the judge emphasized that Congressional approval is required to change the name. Democrat Joyce Beatty, who holds a board seat, initiated the lawsuit against these unauthorized changes.
