The Kennedy Center's Continuing Cacophony: Trump's Name Still Looms Large The Kennedy Center, a venerable Washington institution dedicated to the arts, has once again become embroiled in a contentious dispute over its naming conventions.
In May, a court ordered the center to remove President Donald Trump's name from its front portico, but the board has voted to inscribe his name alongside an inscription that would read "Endowed by The Trump Kennedy Center Fund" if the eponymous fund raises $100 million.
The decision seems remarkable only because it appears as though the center is honoring a benefactor.
