Republicans officially rebuke Trump's MAGA rebrand of Kennedy Center [View all]
The congressional republicans are ignoring the so-call renaming of the Kennedy Center. The current funding bill does NOT recognize the fake name and Congress is funding the Kennedy Center and NOT the trump-Kennedy Center

Republicans put one of President Donald Trump's most significant goals on ice on Monday by refusing to change the John F. Kennedy Center's name officially.
Trump has been trying for months to rebrand the Kennedy Center as the "Trump-Kennedy Center," a move that has caused a swarm of musicians to boycott the acclaimed concert hall. He has affixed his name to the building's exterior, although officially changing the name requires an act of Congress because the center was created by federal law.
Republicans had a chance to make that change in the most recent appropriations bill for the Department of the Interior, which has some say in the center's operations.
However, Republicans rebuffed Trump by leaving out any provisions that would officially change the name, Matt Rice, Washington correspondent for The New York Sun, reported on Monday.
