Washington Performing Arts Center Renamed The Trump-Kennedy Center

President Donald Trump’s handpicked board has voted to rename Washington’s leading performing arts center as the Trump-Kennedy Center. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the vote on social media Thursday, saying it's because of the “unbelievable work" Trump has done over the last year in saving the building. Leavitt says that's not only from the standpoint of its reconstruction “but also financially, and its reputation.” The Republican Trump is chairman of the board and often refers to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as the ”Trump Kennedy Center." The center is named for his Democratic predecessor. A name change won’t sit well with some Kennedy family members.
