Kennedy Center Ordered to Remove Trump Name From Facade and Materials

A federal judge ruled the Kennedy Center overstepped by adding Donald Trump’s name to its official designation, prompting the center to instruct staff to remove Trump’s name from the facade and other materials and to update signatures, letterhead, and forms to reflect 'The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts' or 'Kennedy Center' by June 12, 2026. The center will comply while evaluating legal options; Trump criticized the ruling and urged Congress to decide the center’s fate, and the judge also urged a fuller review of the planned two-year renovation.
