Worth noting: Naming it the Kennedy Center was one of the reasons that it even got built. LBJ wanted a vibrant cultural center in the nation's capital, and this -- in the wake of JFK's assassination -- was how he got Congress to go along with it. See next post: presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/re...

I would NEVER, in a million, billion years, go to a Lord Dampnut named cultural center. Let alone an Opera House named after his skank wife.

It would no longer be a cultural center if you changed the name from Kennedy to Trump. That’s obvious!

NAUSEA sets in every time her name is ever mentioned ... especially, when someone is wanting to cast a positive light ... she deserves nothing but disdain and disgust ...

Well, in Trump’s own favorite words, “We’ll see what happens.”

"As this center comes to reflect and advance the greatness of America, consider then those glories were purchased by a valiant leader who never swerved from duty--John Kennedy. And in his name I dedicate this site."
