"Kennedy Center renamed the 'Trump-Kennedy Center,' White House says" [View all]

This is the headline from an article dated 12/18/25 from USA Today with a byline from Joey Garrison. Little surprise that they would "announce" this on the eve of the ordered release of Epstein material. Distractions abound. So he fired the board and installed himself and a group of boot lickers to the board. However the name was created by statute when originally formed and the statute does not give the board authorization to change the name.
