Trump-Kennedy Center - has a ring to it, doesn't it?

... How 'bout FIRST you explain just WHAT is wrong,
not honourable and dis-respectful about it.

... It was that COMMITTEE that made the decision.
NOT President Trump. (I'm fairly certain... )

The mayor of Pittsburgh can’t just put his name on a local library. The governor of Texas can’t just decide to build a monument to himself.

But the president can only because Congress and the American people allow him to do so.

People need to wake up, realize that Trump’s narcissism is bad for America and call their congressman to let them know that it’s just unacceptable.

He renamed the Gulf of Mexico unilaterally. WTF!

Pull your head out of the sand, mate.

I guess if we're gonna be upset by names changes... perhaps we should remember Ft Benning, Hood, and all the other names that leftist commies changed in the pursuit of destroying Americas storied history.

Remember the people the lefists commies are importing to replace the Americans don't have any connection to these places so they don't care. Its the whole point... eliminate the history and you eliminate the culture.

Here's a few other name changes that have happened that the Leftist Commies in the US celebrate...

Thread drift...Will Donald be able to host the Kennedy Center Honors without espousing his narcissism?

But...it must be said....you mentioning this in the same context as Trump putting his name on things is....VERY APROPOS!

Because you are right! It has been far too long since we have named anything after a racist, bigoted asshole. We used to do this all the time. Naming things after Trump sets us BACK on the path to reclaiming our "storied history!"

Thank you!

I was against the name changes. I served at Fort Lee and wanted the name to remain Fort Lee. But in my opinion you are making a ridiculous comparison. Removing names of Confederate officers from military bases versus adding a name to a memorial.

Tomorrow night are the Kennedy Center Honors. I will go out of my way to avoid watching. Any bets that it will be one of the lowest rated Kennedy Center Honors shows in history? Revenue and attendance at Kennedy Center productions are down significantly since Trump took charge. Any correlation?

... Seeing-as President Trump refurbished the place - I'm all
rather certain it's a better place now for MORE events.

... And placing NEW names on things is the new way in America.
Where was the outrage from you lads when parks were re-named
after George Floyd?? ... Or statues of Washington and Jefferson
were being removed??

The New Kennedy Centre name is a good thing, and somebody
may come-along and change it again - just like football grounds.

... Not sure IF all anti-Trump outrage is due to the Committee there
changing the name - or just the typical TDS...

Artists are canceling their “preformances” at the Kennedy Center left and right.

Trump has made it a tacky gig. Chit, the new font on the building doesn’t match the original. Tacky, vulgar nd grotesque.

Perhaps that’s why even the staunchest of boosters still call it the Kennedy Center.

Yes, the eternal flame in Arlington is certainly a memorial to JFK. As is the Kennedy Center. Trump's name will be removed from the Kennedy Center as soon as Congress fails to support the name change or when the administration changes.

"The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, commonly known as the Kennedy Center, is the national cultural center of the United States, serving as a "living memorial" to John F. Kennedy."

leftists and their obsessions with animating inanimate objects... a "living" Constitution, a "living" memorial...

make it make sense...

Surely there's something else he can plaster his name on that doesn't offend half the country and heap shame on our nation.

Maybe not.

... Odd, aint it? ... Maria Shriver - Ted Kennedy's niece -
is somehow upsot that The Committee added President Trump's
name to the Preforming Arts Centre?? ... Surely sound like
more liberal sour grapes for her to be on about it.

The BEST of the lot, RFK jr, don't seem bothered by it much-any.

... Blimey! ... Surely seem there's MORE hurt feelings HERE
with Forum members than from the Kennedy family. ...

... No worrys, mates... If they add a new addition to the
Kennedy Centre and that new addition room is empty - they can
name THAT after Biden... ...

No. Not about feelings. Only maggies have feelings that get hurt through, possibly a genetic trait, of having thin skins. It's about the flagrant abuse in breaking the law.

See NaCl-y, the complaint is about the maggie hypocritical actions about claiming to be about law and order. This is a direct contradiction to be about the party of law and order. More about being the party of theft and grift.

There is no guessing about it. As has been pointed out.
The legal channels to rename have been ignored.

Just another example of the lazy ways a maniacal ego centered wah wah baby bulldozered through to satisfy his weak self worth.
