🚨 Trump just put his name on the Kennedy Center—but the Senate says it’s ILLEGAL. Here’s what you need to know.
In this video, I break down Trump’s controversial attempt to rename the historic Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The board voted unanimously to add “Trump” before “Kennedy” in the official name, but there’s one massive problem: they don’t have the legal authority to do it.
🔍 What We Cover:
• The overnight board vote that shocked Washington DC
• Why Congress has the ONLY power to rename federal memorials
• The Kennedy family’s furious response to Trump’s move
• Senate reaction and constitutional roadblocks
• Congresswoman Joyce Beatty being MUTED during the board meeting
• The 1964 law that protects the Kennedy Center’s name
• What happens next and when Trump’s name will likely be removed
The Kennedy Center was established by federal law in 1964 as a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy after his assassination. Trump’s handpicked board can vote all they want, but without the 60 Senate votes required to pass new legislation, this name change exists in legal limbo.
Maria Shriver, JFK’s niece, called the decision “beyond comprehension.” Carrie Kennedy vowed to remove Trump’s name the moment his term ends. And Senate leaders from both parties are raising serious constitutional concerns.
This isn’t just about a building—it’s about the limits of presidential power and whether our democratic institutions can still say “no” to overreach.
