The Kennedy Center will be renamed Trump-Kennedy Center.

I guess I don't understand why. I don't care much more than the effort it took to post this, but I can't gather why it was necessary. I guess we keep owning the libs or something.

Probably number 5128 on the list of things I don't care about. But it is interesting. Liberal heads will be exploding.

LOL, what?

What political capital was spent on this? What won't Trump be able to do now since he lost this political capital?

If only some could remember back just several years ago to who started this name changing stuff...

And I think this change is actually a good thing. The arts and culture isn't owned by the Democrats or Republicans. With a name from each party on that building, it is a reminder to anyone who thinks their side should own the arts and culture.

Which is great cause it will be a reminder of just how petty the libs are. By petty I mean totally deranged regarding anything Trump does.

You have to be wildly obtuse to think the board of the Kennedy Center is adding Trump's name to distract from the Epstein files containing information on sicko libs sex trafficking children.

Is the next hot take going to be that Trump called Nick Reiner and told him to go take care of hateful Ron in order to take the focus off the Epstein files? Cause that is more believable than what you suggest.

It feels a little like when someone tries to give themselves their own nickname....and I think we know how that generally works out haha.

All kidding aside, naming a building after oneself is a really weird thing, regardless of whether it's politics, football stadiums, campus buildings.

I'd prefer they just shut it down, bulldoze it and save the taxpayer money.

No, I've just had a killer week at work and admittedly didn't read the article. I assumed it was another troll job like the presidential walk of fame.

Now I have given the Trump goaltending armada ammo, my life.

Just another example of how Trump is a big-Gov Liberal Democrat.

Create a problem - in this case discourage sales/attendance.
Take over distressed problem.
Rename it.
Pump Gov money into it.
Prophet.

Democrats are trying to show how Trump has destoyed the Center. Ticket sales reported in the ****ter.

Ultimately Democrats are going to return because that's how they show us how superior they are to us peasants.

Meanwhile, Trump puts a fresh coat of paint... changes the name, and in mid-term elections in '26, he'll be able to tout how he "saved" the Center.

And Democrats stung with TDS will follow along like rats to the Pied Piper.

I think this is it. All the renaming of stuff like military bases pissed a lot of people of. Trump was probably one of them. I think Trump is partially doing this as a lesson to stop with the re-naming as it can go both ways but also because I think he likes doing it especially when he can put his own name on it. But saying that, I don't think he would be doing this for the latter reason if it wasn't for the first reason first.

Trump just asked about this in the Q&A after rescheduling weed and he said its a great honor and is recognition for him saving the Kennedy Center. Makes sense to me.

And yet, so many building on A&M's (and most colleges) campus are just that. "I'll give you $15M to put my name on the building."

How many Premium subs on TexAgs have a computer named after them in the Athletic facility?!

It is hilarious. The liberal media will eat this up and run 100s of hours of airtime on it all while he's been working on his agenda with minimal distractions.

I think this is the most I've ever seen fellow conservatives care about the arts. I run in conservative circles and practically everyone I know views the arts as a complete waste of time, effort and resources.

Even if I had attended a musical, I certainly wouldn't admit it haha.

Oh, I have no idea. And honestly, I don't have the time or intelligence to figure out the answer.

So I'll assume it's a whole bunch.

But regardless, I still think it's dumb to give money only in exchange for naming rights.

If I had that kind of generational wealth/money, I wouldn't care whether buildings were named after me or not.

How much of Trumps own money is he putting up for the naming rights?

Trump has grown so tiresome. We get great CPI news this morning, thanks Trump, and then this afternoon he's back to doing dumb *****

I'm going to vote for the Republican no matter what just like most of you. But when he does stupid stuff like this it only serves to make MAGA foam at the mouth and piss off the squishy middle that is swayed each election.


Is he giving his own money for this? If so, then I don't care about changing the name TBH.

Trump didn't do anything regarding the naming of the Trump-Kennedy Center. It was a unanimous vote by an independent board.

Trump was working in the office on rescheduling marijuana, establishing the Patriot Games, and more.

At this point, I'd rather not have your vote at all. But to be honest, I cease believing people when they say
I voted xyz, but...".

I'm pretty sure the Kennedy Center was given that name by Congress. Trump can call it what he wants but he can't change the name.
