The arts venue’s board has reportedly found a workaround after a federal judge earlier ordered the president’s name taken down
The Kennedy Center board has voted to restore Donald Trump’s name to the Washington arts venue, multiple media outlets have reported, just two months after it was removed on a federal judge’s orders.
The Trump-aligned board voted last December to rename the institution after Trump and John F. Kennedy, and his name was subsequently added to its facade. US District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled in May that the board lacked authority to change the name established by Congress and ordered the Trump signage removed. Workers complied in June.
This time, however, the board is not formally renaming the Kennedy Center after Trump. According to Axios, an inscription below the Kennedy Center sign will read “Restored and Renovated by President Donald J. Trump,” while the physical site will be named “the President Donald J. Trump Plaza.”
