Kennedy Center Renamed Trump-Kennedy Center Amid Controversy

Featured Replies

Nice report on Trumps lies out of Canada.  This report is only from his first term.

 

https://www.hilltimes.com/story/2024/10/21/according-to-the-washington-post-trump-told-30573-lies-during-his-four-years-in-office-but-it-doesnt-matter/438252/

 

Trump told 30,573 lies during his four years in office, but it just doesn’t matter in today’s low-road politics

When did the low road become the busiest thoroughfare in politics? When did notoriety eclipse character in public life? And how did psychopathic lying so easily relegate facts to the outer limits of irrelevance?

So you have notorious liar Adam Schiff telling us how Trump (who Schiff has told the craziest lies about, thousands of times) is a liar? Is this peak liberal insanity?

How did all Schiffs "evidence of collusion in plain sight" age? Like a squid under your EV car seat on a hot day😅

Every time you deflect it makes you look more desperate.

How can you keep defending trumps lies?

You must be either really stupid or just another troll.

Is there anything he says that you don't believe?

Do you believe the 28000 deaths by snake bite?

The Kennedy Center will now be known as the Trump-Kennedy Center after the board's unanimous decision, as revealed by the White House. US President Trump's "unbelievable work" in saving the venue has sparked this change and stirred reactions. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt praised both Trump and Kennedy, forecasting a blend of success.

 

Construction of the national performing arts centre began in the 1950s, eventually turning into a memorial for President John F. Kennedy after his assassination. However, this name change is divisive, especially in Washington, D.C., where the center holds iconic status. Following Trump’s appointment, he fired the existing board replacing them with allies, ensuring his dominance as chairman, and secured $257 million in renovations.

 

Joyce Beatty, an Ohio Democratic Representative and board member, disputes the claimed unanimous vote, stating she was muted during discussions. Some argue that because the center’s original naming was legislated in 1964, Congressional approval is required for any changes. A spending bill to rename the opera venue within the center remains pending.

 

Legal experts highlight possibilities of name use on the website or with tickets, but any legislative-derived complications persist. Trump's changes have reportedly impacted ticket sales and subscriptions, fueled by criticisms of political interference. Releases of planned events like Lin Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton have been cancelled, reflecting industry pushback.

 

Trump's direct selection of Kennedy Center honourees, which included Sylvester Stallone and KISS members, underscores the ongoing controversy. Notable is the mixed public reaction during his appearances at the center, demonstrating the polarised views surrounding his involvement, reported the BBC.

 

 

Key Takeaways

  • Kennedy Center is renamed Trump-Kennedy Center, sparking debate.
  • The board reshuffle and major renovations initiated by Trump have heavily influenced this change.
  • Legal questions linger about name validity without Congressional approval.

So it's all not true, your cave has no Internet signal, then........................😁

Well the sign has been changed already but the name change is 100 percent ILLEGAL.

A very funny detail is the Kennedy center is a MEMORIAL and now it's also a  MEMORIAL to the still alive Trump. Does he even know what the word MEMORIAL means?!?

Trump does not deserve his name on a plastic outhouse, much less the Kennedy Center. He has done absolutely nothing to deserve this honor, and self honoring oneself is not exactly considered an act of nobility. 

 

On a daily basis this man demonstrates additional levels of goonery, clown like behavior, and utter absurdness. What an incredibly sad and pathetic example of the human species he is. 

 

Americans should be recoiling in horror at this demonstration of self aggrandizement, certainly the world is looking on with astonishment at the shame he is bringing upon a nation that used to be fairly great, but has descended  into a land of chaos, mass murders, political division, shootings, criminality, homelessness, poverty, unemployment, silly levels of real inflation, and diminished influence.

 

The honor and the pride is completely gone, right out the window. Trump is trashing everything America used to stand for.

The damage he has already done will last generations and the USA and how it's regarded abroad will never be the same. Trump has taken us down from shining city on a hill to mountain of stinking oligarch caca. Any American who still supports him deserves no respect.

Well hear hear who’s talking. Dumb dumber dumbest, especially when you claim the left lies and lies, and Trump doesnt do anything else than lies and here you are defending him. Something horrible wrong with those who claims everyone else lies when sitting in a perfectly vulnerable classic glass house, and still crying out, lies lies lies. The green stuff you brag about, isnt good for you

I see you're making a personal again. And there you are commenting about the naming of a theater in America. Talk about obsessed. I wouldn't even know if Norway has a theater I better look it up

I'm not sure about the shining city on the hill, as America has already been diminished quite a bit over the past couple of decades, but he has certainly precipitated the downfall and there's no question that America is a laughing stock around the world right now. As is Don. He is a nutter and a snowflake.

A  shining thingie RELATIVE to what Trump has done to it.

Of course the USA has never been any kind of paradise but what Trimp is doing to the country is a sick kind of national suicide. Let's smash everything that was good about the country ON PURPOSE. What fun!

I do agree with that and it does feel like some sort of willful act of sabotage obviously the man just may be deluded enough to think he's doing some good but oftentimes psychopaths are able to talk themselves into committing horrific acts which is exactly what he's doing. As far as renaming the Kennedy Center, that's completely illegal it requires an act of Congress and it won't stick. 

 

Kennedy was a great man, one of our greatest presidents, he was a man of honor and dignity, class and grace, and Trump is the polar opposite of that. He's gutter trash, and he's a pig and nobody will want any association of his name, (once he has died of faded) with anything, much less an Institute of culture.

Schiff isn't forcing a name change of a public institution. This is about a  specific wrongful act. Deal with the issue. 

Should have renamed to Trump Centre.
