Kennedy Center

@wtg said in Kennedy Center:
Don't forget the Arc de Trump. Or the Institute of Peace.
Is the Arc de Trump something he wants to build or something he wants to put his name on?
I can't see him renaming Washington Square Park, Trump Square Park, or the Washington Arch, Trump Arch. This probably wouldn't be grand enough for him.

Behind the scenes. More chaos.

A federal judge has blocked President Trump from adding his name to the Kennedy Center, saying that the Washington, D.C. arts complex was named for the late president John F. Kennedy. In a ruling on Friday, the judge also temporarily blocked the administration from closing the Kennedy Center for a planned two-year renovation that was slated to begin in July.
U.S. District Court Judge Christopher Cooper wrote in his ruling that: "The Kennedy Center's organic statute makes crystal clear that the Center is to be named for President Kennedy, and it cannot bear any other formal name or public memorial based on the Board's unilateral say-so. Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it."

Nothing at all, it’s just that the falderal about him doing the Super Bowl halftime is just dumb.
But the name is preferable to the proposed alternative.
