Policies and laws that don't have specific (criminal) penalties attached are the weakness's that Trump has always exploited. If he want to rename the Kennedy Center after himself and he has the votes it will happen. Remember he succeeded in naming RFK Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services, a  person who wouldn't qualify as an orderly in any hospital.

He [Trump] said over a year ago "I will deny every single blue state funding and I will destroy every single person who didn't vote for me".

Oh wow. I hadn't heard that crazy quote. I can't find it anywhere online. Can you provide a source?

House GOP members have regularly been putting forward various frivolous bills like this, ranging from adding Trump to Mt. Rushmore or renaming Reagan International Airport for him. They’re bootlicking attention-grabs that go nowhere and I fully expect this to follow the pattern. 
 

There’s a lot to be rightfully outraged about regarding Trump and MAGA, but this is really not worth the energy or attention.

I doubt this will ever go anywhere as it is a frivolous Tump boot licking bill, but the notion is utterly ludicrous.  Even if you are a Trump fan who would like to immortalize him in some way, naming an arts center after him is not the way to go. He has NEVER, EVER been a patron of the arts, has never been associated with the arts.  He has never done anything to further the arts in any way. Going to a few broadway shows here and there does not make one an arts patron or lover.  Slap his name on border crossings or something instead.

I think this could actually happen, based on how much it bothers us (people who care about the arts).  Our discomfort is very motivational to them (people who care about preserving ignorance).

Renaming the Kennedy Center for Donald and Melania Trump would violate the law that created it

Laws don’t apply to this admin unfortunately

I saw this shared elsewhere.   It's a whole big AI mess, but amusing anyways.

Such an insult to the late John F. Kennedy. The Kennedy Center is a living memorial. Trump would just erase Kennedy's name from the building? Absolutely outrageous and completely disrespectful.
