CNN confirms:

The board of trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts voted Thursday to rename the facility after both the former president and President Donald Trump.

“The Kennedy Center Board of Trustees voted unanimously today to name the institution The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts,” spokeswoman Roma Daravi said in a statement, adding that the name honors Trump’s work at the center since taking over early in his second term.

The move quickly raised legal concerns as to whether the board has the authority to rename the arts institution, which Congress designated in 1964 as a memorial to the Democratic president, and met backlash from the Kennedy family.

Trump, who was elected chair by a newly constituted board in February, has frequently joked about calling the performing arts center the “Trump Kennedy Center.” The president’s handpicked board approved his wishes at Thursday’s board meeting, according to a source familiar with the matter, during which Trump also called in.

At an Oval Office event later in the day, Trump said he was “honored” and “surprised” by the vote.

“This was brought up by one of the very distinguished board members, and they voted on it, and there’s a lot of board members, and they voted unanimously,” he said.

By Thursday afternoon, the center’s website header was updated to read “The Trump Kennedy Center.”

“Congratulations to President Donald J. Trump, and likewise, congratulations to President Kennedy, because this will be a truly great team long into the future,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a post on X. “The building will no doubt attain new levels of success and grandeur.”

I think the new name has a great ring to it!

What do you think?

I might just have to go attend an event now…
