Cooper reaffirmed that the Kennedy Center cannot add Trump's name or related inscriptions or rename surrounding areas without Congress, blocking a board’s bid to recognize his renovations. The board’s latest attempt is viewed as an end-run around the court order, and Cooper noted there’s no proof donations depend on Trump’s name; the board is set to meet and could shutter the center if unresolved.
