What Just Happened? – The Trump Rename Story: The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., long known as the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, is undergoing a name addition under Donald Trump’s leadership. Trump’s name is being placed alongside Kennedy’s, sparking debate across the United States. Supporters say it reflects Trump’s contribution to the arts and cultural visibility, while critics argue the original name is protected by law and meant to honour President Kennedy alone. This event has opened a large discussion on why political leaders feel the need to rename or rebrand cultural spaces.
