Some members of the Kennedy family and several lawmakers expressed opposition to the move and questioned its legality.
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington donned a new name — the Trump-Kennedy Center — on the exterior of the building Friday, just a day after Donald Trump’s hand-picked board voted to change the arts institution’s name.
The move came despite concerns about the legality of the shift and objections from members of the Kennedy family and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle after the center announced that its board on Thursday voted unanimously to approve the name change.
Legal experts told NBC News earlier this year that the Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson administration-era statutes governing the creation of the Kennedy Center had enshrined the original name in legislation. They added that a new law passed by both chambers of Congress and signed by the president would be needed to change the name.
Will Turd Nugent open every season?
Crud Rock
Don’t worry, they were never concerned about the legality
Amerikkka is clown country
Look of that thumbnail those assholes smiling. Hope they lose there jobs and are shunned from society.
I don’t know where the TDGarden is… but I can tell you where to find the Boston Garden… Just like the Gulf of Mexico is what the Mississippi dumps into.
What these assholes decide to call something in NO way obligates anyone else to also do so.
Do I call it X? Nope… it’s Twitter. Elon Musk can suck it.
The Kennedy Center as a name is going to outlast whatever horseshit the Orange Cunt tries.
Is that related to the TD BankNorth Garden?
There is only the Boston Garden.
The house of Cousy, Havlicek and Bird.
Toronto Dominion/BankNorth can take a long walk off a short pier.
And this is a MEMORIAL center for the arts.
I look forward to “Donald J Trump presents your grandmother’s memorial”
I look forward to the “Donald J. Trump Memorial” anything.
Landfills and public restrooms are the only things that deserve that label.
Their website was also updatdd
I’ve been seeing these headlines and thinking they were about the Kennedy Space Center. I’m still mad, but not nearly as mad.
despite concerns about legality
There are no concerns. It’s outright illegal. Congress named it. They’re the only ones who can rename it.
But don’t lose focus here. Donald J Trump is a pedophile named in the Epstein files that the DoJ is refusing to fully release today in direct violation of the law.
I fucking hate everything.
My hate for them is focused and concentrated with laserlike precision.
More embarrassment for history to record. Personally I hope he puts his mark on everything. I hope he puts his name on the Washington monument. It’ll be a good reminder for his supporters and future generations of what happened, presuming the next president doesn’t just take it all down.
Any paintball enthusiasts in the area?
Those workers need to be named in the lawsuit. This “just following [work] orders” business needs to stop. SCOTUS says Trump is untouchable but not the ones that follow his orders.
The looks on their faces in the photo…they weren’t ‘just following orders’, but proud and fully aware of their work.
Fine and jail them for vandalism
Well just take it down
ah yes, the theatre community, well known for being right wing. Especially as they’re about to host the (amazing) Improvised Shakespeare company.
I just wrote to them in regards to their partnership with an anti-trafficking charity.
