The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts, commonly known as the Kennedy Center, will be renamed the “Trump-Kennedy Center,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday.

The prestigious Washington, D.C., cultural center’s board of trustees, who were appointed by President Donald Trump in February, “have just voted unanimously” on the name change, Leavitt said in an X post.

[IzzaNuDay]

17. One hundred percent!

Fuck Trump and fuck the goons who kiss his worthless ass 24 hours a day!

[Attilatheblond]

33. Or, we put it in the Gulf of America file and ignore any changes the infantile boor tries to establish

[calimary]

35. We better change it back later.

Maybe at 12:01pm, the afternoon following the traditional 12-noon inauguration ceremony. As soon as the new president is sworn in.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

40. Like cleaning graffiti off the side of a public building...

...eom.

[bucolic_frolic]

3. Joe Stalin named things after himself

Stalingrad.

[calimary]

36. And that got changed, too.

“…Stalingrad was renamed Volgograd in 1961 as part of the Soviet de-Stalinization campaign under Nikita Khrushchev, shifting from its 1925 name honoring Joseph Stalin back to a name reflecting its location on the Volga River.”

[Mz Pip]

4. Trump wanted it

They complied. They’re sycophants. Of course it was unanimous.

6. how long before he changes us to United States of Trump?

or puts "In Trump We Trust" on our money

Well, you get the idea. How and when will this ever end?

[Harker]

9. Soon, I hope... and fittingly.

[moonshinegnomie]

7. once hes gone

congress should pass a law banning his name from being used on any facility that receives tax money.

[Lionel Mandrake]

39. I dunno about that.

Los Angeles has a big sewage treatment plant. I'd like to see it renamed the Donald J. Trump Memorial Sewage Treatment Facility.

[fierywoman]

8. He's so pathetically peeing on the trees.

10. Kennedy vs Trump in the arts

This is just plain obscene.

Trump has nothing to do with the arts; he is a philistine.

This is list of some of the classical musicians and composers invited to the Kennedy White House:

Pablo Casals (cellist)
Igor Stravinsky (composer)
Leonard Bernstein (composer and conductor)
Isaac Stern (violinist)
Samuel Barber (composer)
Aaron Copland (composer)
Gian Carlo Menotti (composer)

Here is a link highlighting some of history of classical music at the Kennedy White House.

Actually, the First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy probably knew more about classical music than President Kennedy did.

We will not see any of this kind of talent at the Trump White House.

[Bayard]

19. But he does want pro wrestling.

[Lulu KC]

11. Omgosh

I hear so many bodies rolling in so many graves right now.

[Deminpenn]

12. Most people stop writing their names

everywhere at about 10 years old. This guy will be 80 this summer and still has an increasingly pathological need to do it. He is clearly nuts and getting moreso by the day.

[C_U_L8R]

13. I hope Trump lives just long enough

to see our country tear down every one of Trump’s silly monuments to himself, restore the White House to its former beauty, melt down all his dumbass golden embellishments, flatten that ballroom boondoggle, unassemble his Arch De Stupidity and for goodness sake, return the Kennedy Center back to being the Kennedy Center.

[LiberalLovinLug]

34. Don't forget the extra head on Mount Rushmore

Which, if they do manage to steal the midterms, he will definitely try to get done

[calimary]

37. This!!!

[purr-rat beauty]

14. Carl's Jr

The only thing that will be shown there is ASS

and before you hit the movie, grab a bite with the kids at Buttfuckers

[petronius]

18. Maybe a matinee showing of "Ow My Balls!"?

[sakabatou]

15. I'm sure it'll be changed back

[twodogsbarking]

16. Where I grew up they'd be callin' that there "an outhouse".

Not like the modern plastic ones.

[Bayard]

20. Sacrilege!

Nothing is sacred to him. Nothing is more important than him. Sick, sick, sick.

We are bound to get a flashing neon sign saying, "trump White House," at his current address.

[RussBLib]

21. Congress has.to approve the change

...will they or won't they?
