Trump’s Hand-picked Board Renames the Kennedy Center After Our Authoritarian President
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The premier performing arts center in Washington, The Kennedy Center, will be renamed the “Trump-Kennedy Center,” after its Trump-appointed board voted to impose the name change. In response, Robert Weissman, co-president of Public Citizen, issued the following statement:
“This latest move by the Narcissist-in-Chief further degrades one of our nation’s premier cultural institutions and is emblematic of Trump’s profoundly authoritarian agenda.
“We have one plea for the president, for his sake and ours: Please don’t have your name engraved on the building, Mr. Trump, because that name won’t be attached to the building for long.”
