Good. DJT has done a lot to save the performing arts from the leftist corruption.

"Not only from the standpoint of its reconstruction, but also financially, and its reputation," Leavitt continued. "Congratulations to President Donald J. Trump, and likewise, congratulations to President Kennedy, because this will be a truly great team long into the future! The building will no doubt attain new levels of success and grandeur."

The renaming is presented by the board as reflecting "unequivocal bipartisan support" for America's cultural center into the future and follows nearly a year of substantial changes.

In a February Truth Social post, Trump stated that he intended to make the Kennedy Center "GREAT AGAIN," announcing that he had terminated several members of the Board of Trustees who, in his words, "do not share our Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture." He criticized drag shows "specifically targeting our youth," declaring, "THIS WILL STOP," and described the Kennedy Center as "an American Jewel" that "must reflect the brightest STARS on its stage."

The Kennedy Center broke an all-time attendance record for a public event in March 2025 with its "EARTH to SPACE: Arts Breaking the Sky" fireworks show, which drew over 11,000 attendees. A Kennedy Center representative stated that 76% of those who attended had never visited the venue before. The event was open to the public and featured a 360-degree rooftop view and interactive experiences.

Now get rid of the "Kennedy."

This thread is refreshing. Although Bret Beir interviewed Thune tonight and asked him if the Senate had interest in the required legislative change to effect it, and he didn't seem too interested.

Trump is going to forever be the POTUS on July 4, 2026 celebrating from coast to coast and it will be in memories for generations.

Nothing else he can do owns the libs more than simply being POTUS right now. And on top of that he is busting his ass every damn day to do more. 11 months in and the libs just cannot keep up.

Looks great. Very quick action. No wonder the Epstein files are delayed, priorities at work here.

Chris Matthews and others include Maria 'Skeletor' Shriver.

Matthews just said why would Trump be recognized. He referenced that Kennedy was shot whilst campaigning and that makes him a hero. Who wants to give Chris an update from July 2024?

The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie… pic.twitter.com/wcGjTp2uqa

He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie amplified the arts, celebrated the arts, stood up for the arts and artists.

It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy's name is acceptable. It is not.

Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport, rename the Lincoln Memorial, the Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Jefferson Memorial. The Trump Smithsonian. The list goes on.

Can we not see what is happening here? C'mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny. This is way beneath the stature of the job. It's downright weird. It's obsessive in a weird way. Just when you think somone can't stoop any lower, down they go…

It's a wonderful start, but I hope that we can start the process of adding Trump's likeness or names to other national attractions. Perhaps Trump-Ellis Island, a Marble statute in the national mall sitting next to Lincoln and add some of Trump's tweets near the Gettysburg address, perhaps the airport can be Trump-Reagan National Airport.

Thanks Maria, but I already included your X post. No need to be redundant.

Agreed but I never liked any of the Kennedy's including Shriver. They think their names should be on everything even though they built nothing. Trump puts his names on buildings he builds or remodels.

Taking pride in one's accomplishments is an American ideal and Trump embodies that. Maria Shriver and the other Kennedy's do not.

This one's next, hopefully:

My understanding is it will be adapted to recall the "Fight, Fight, Fight" scene.

Seems appropriate that Trump and Kennedy names are on the Kennedy Center, they are both like the art of cheating on their spouses.

Clinton, HW, Reagan... probably most if not all the others.

I know…that's the joke.

It is a cultural center for the arts, so makes sense!

Trump literally saved the Kennedy center from financial disaster and moral degeneracy. While JFK himself was arguably a moral degenerate, I think the cause is clear and justified.

Quote:

The ascendancy of Trump and his allies at the Kennedy Center prompted a wave of cancellations by artists themselves, as well as resignations of people associated with the venue. In a bizarre March incident, a woke leftist and former program director at the Kennedy Center's Opera Institute was fired after bizarrely stripping down in a 35-minute video posted on YouTube and X, during which he ranted against President Trump's takeover.

To its credit, the new Trump-led JFK Center has scrubbed drag shows and other degenerate programming from the schedule. In February, leftists gasped as a gay men's chorus performance was yanked off. With the National Symphony Orchestra, the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington DC was set to put on a show called "A Peacock Among Pigeons: Celebrating 50 Years of Pride." Timed for late May, the show was meant to kick off Pride month. It was replaced by the Wizard of Oz.

Of course, all these political theatrics on the DC stage are just one act in the dark comedy of an American empire in accelerating decline an empire hurtling toward insolvency, losing its morality and social cohesiveness, and subordinating its interests to those of foreign powers.

Lately this country has been dealing with too much toxic empathy, methinks.

Yep. Just look at this meltdown, something to behold.

Hysterical leftist melts down over President Trump's name being hung on the Kennedy Center.

"The scene of the crime" LOLOL. He should next do something to 'update' the exterior, maybe add a micro nuclear powerplant to make the place 'green.'

I love when he makes dems lose their minds.

herp derp is the only reply to this

They should rename it the Mary Jo Kopechne performing Arts Center brought to you by Ted Kennedy

No idea why they're all getting so worked up. Nothing stopping them from pulling it down next time they take the WH. Trump doing Trump things. Shocking! Lol.

Frankly, I'm surprised he hasn't slapped his name on more crap. They should actually be somewhat relieved.

Kind of a Banksy thing if he used his own likeness, different mediums, and was inordinately proud of a hairpiece. I get the feeling you're being sarcastic, but I think it would be pretty funny and ephemeral.

Well, now they are seriously protesting/crying. Trump's super-power is causing the TDS-afflicted to absolutely lose their minds over absolutely nothing. The guy behind the 'trans' speaker even broke out his old pink p-word hat for the event.

Today I joined patriots at the Kennedy Center to make clear that Trump’s desecration of the Center will not stand. It’s not a matter of whether, but of when, his name will come down. We will not allow him to despoil what belongs to the American people. pic.twitter.com/3K4NvmMUV1

We noted how they hit record fundraising for the Kennedy Center Honors event. But that wasn't all, as the Trump Kennedy Center vice president of public relations, Roma Daravi. explained. She said that Trump had raised over $131 million in private and corporate donations; the president even convinced Congress to provide money for infrastructure needs that were desperately needed.

So, the Democrats can keep throwing fits, but Trump will keep tackling the issues and making things better.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Trump.

Sorry to say this nortex97. I think you are shooting yourself in the foot by posting that article. Like most people, when I have problems, big or small, in my life, I always reach out to people with profound mental illness to guide me. Betty Crocker with an Adam's apple looks like they could give some sage advice. Also, being at the end of the year. The fact that Chris Van Hollen took time away from visiting El Salvador to meet/drink with MS members and in addition he took time away from his meetings with MS 13 leadership regarding the strategic goals of MS 13 for fiscal year 2026. Important meetings, regarding how Senate Democrats can support them going forward. This is quite admirable of him.




Bonkers Barbie looks like he is wearing a loofa sponge.
