Kennedy arts centre renamed after Trump 

The White House has revealed that the Kennedy Centre, named after slain US president, John F. Kennedy, is to be renamed “Trump-Kennedy Centre” after a vote by its board, which Trump himself hand-picked earlier this year.

DAILY POST reports that Donald Trump has been stamping his mark on Washington ever since his return to power.

The renaming is also coming after other grandiose schemes, such as demolishing the White House East Wing to install a $400-million ballroom, and announcing the construction of a large triumphal arch.

“I was surprised by it, I was honoured by it,” Trump told reporters after the announcement despite having repeatedly talked about a name change for the prominent performing arts venue in the past.

The 79-year-old is also head of the board, having personally appointed himself after purging Democrats shortly after taking office in January for a second term.

It will be recalled that the first announcement came from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt in a post on X, saying that the highly respected Board of the Kennedy Centre, some of the most successful people from all parts of the world, have just voted unanimously to rename the facility.

According to Leavitt, it was because of the unbelievable work President Trump has done over the last year in saving the building.

“Congratulations to President Donald J. Trump, and likewise, congratulations to President Kennedy, because this will be a truly great team long into the future,” she added.

DAILY POST recalls that Kennedy was assassinated in 1963.
