If President Donald Trump and his administration are ‘the best’ at any one thing on any given day, it has to be making the Democratic Party lose its collective mind.
In an announcement on Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed that the Kennedy Center will undergo a name change to honor President Donald Trump. Get ready for the left to go into full meltdown mode in 3-2-1.
On Thursday, Leavitt took to X to share that the Board of Trustees, which Trump chairs, voted unanimously to rename the distinguished arts venue to The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts—shortened to the Trump-Kennedy Center for everyday use.
I have just been informed that the highly respected Board of the Kennedy Center, some of the most successful people from all parts of the world, have just voted unanimously to rename the Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center, because of the unbelievable work President Trump…

“I have just been informed that the highly respected Board of the Kennedy Center, some of the most successful people from all parts of the world, have just voted unanimously to rename the Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center, because of the unbelievable work President Trump has done over the last year in saving the building,” Leavitt’s post read.

“Not only from the standpoint of its reconstruction, but also financially, and its reputation,” she added. “Congratulations to President Donald J. Trump, and likewise, congratulations to President Kennedy, because this will be a truly great team long into the future! The building will no doubt attain new levels of success and grandeur.”
In an interview with Fox Digital, Roma Daravi, the vice president of public relations at the Center, stated that the name change reflects the significant efforts Trump made to steer the center out of its financial troubles. She affirmed the reports regarding the new name, adding that the “unanimous vote recognizes that the current Chairman saved the institution from financial ruin and physical destruction.”
Trump reacted to the name change during an Oval Office back-and-forth with reporters:
.@POTUS: "I was surprised by it, and I was honored by it. We're saving the building… That building was in such bad shape — both physically, financially, and in every other way… The Kennedy Center is really back strongly." https://t.co/MH9ZFbsFv3 pic.twitter.com/uYQYTNkUiL

“I was surprised by it, and I was honored by it. We’re saving the building… That building was in such bad shape — both physically, financially, and in every other way, and now it’s very solid and very strong…The Kennedy Center is really back strongly,” the president said, noting that he managed to secure massive donations in order to refurbish and save the center.
Earlier this month, the State Department announced that its Institute for Peace would also be renamed after Trump in honor of all the peace deals he’s brokered during his first and now second terms:
This morning, the State Department renamed the former Institute of Peace to reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation's history.

This will fry minds on the left but that isn’t hard for the Trumpster to do, to be honest. Now, if another Democrat wins the White House in the future (horrid thought!), look for that president to change the name back to something lame, just to spite Trump. You can probably bet money on it.
