A judge on Friday ordered ‌the removal of President Donald Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center for ⁠the Performing Arts, ruling that the iconic Washington venue cannot be renamed without an act of Congress.

U.S. District Judge ‌Christopher ⁠Cooper in Washington directed the Trump administration to take down all ⁠physical signage bearing Trump’s name and to ⁠eliminate any references to a “Trump Kennedy ⁠Center” from official materials within 14 days.

Why was his name even on the Kennedy center?

I'm not from the US, so I have no clue what this center is about, but seems rather weird to just put your name on a building already named after another person.

But ok, being weird is Trump's style - on not the good weird

It is a major convention center in DC and he wants the attention.

And to put Kennedy next to his name. He also needs another avenue to pay off and receive bribes.
