Description

The Kennedy Centers controversial renaming to include Donald Trumps name has sparked outrage, with artists boycotting and members of Congress threatening legal action. Trump, who became board chair in February, removed existing members and installed loyalists, including Ric Grenell as president. The centers bylaw change, which stripped voting rights from ex-officio members, has been criticized as a violation of the original charter. The Kennedy Center Honors broadcast, hosted by Trump, saw a significant drop in viewership, and Trumps response to the Kennedy familys grief has further fueled the controversy.
