Kennedy Center orders removal of Trump's name after court blocks branding
TL;DR
A federal judge ruled that the Kennedy Center cannot be renamed to include Donald Trump and ordered the center to revert branding; staff were directed to scrub Trump’s name from email signatures, letterhead, voicemails, social media, and website content and update to either 'The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts' or 'Kennedy Center' by June 12. The board had previously voted to rename the center 'Trump-Kennedy Center,' triggering backlash and lawsuits; the ruling underscores that Congress controls the center’s official name.
