Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Kennedy Center Ordered To Remove Trump Name After Court Ruling
Caption: Kennedy Center Ordered To Remove Trump Name After Court Ruling. The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has ordered staff to remove references to President Donald Trump from official materials following a federal court decision. An internal memo instructed employees to update email signatures, letterheads and documents to use only the Kennedy Center’s original name. The move follows a ruling by Judge Christopher Cooper, who said the center could not be renamed without approval from Congress. The court ordered officials to remove signage bearing Trump’s name and eliminate references to a “Trump Kennedy Center” from official materials. Trump’s name was added to the venue in December after he reshaped the board and appointed himself as a trustee. The legal challenge was brought by Representative Joyce Beatty, a Democratic member of the Kennedy Center board. It remains unclear when Trump’s name will be physically removed from the building itself. The dispute comes as Trump pursues broader plans to reshape Washington landmarks, including projects near the Lincoln Memorial and the White House.
