When it comes to naming buildings after people, presidents are the gold standard.

But when President Donald Trump’s name is involved, his critics insist it should be barred from display whenever possible.

A federal judge recently ruled that Trump’s name cannot be added to a prominent building without an act of Congress. The court found that the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees overstepped its statutory authority by unilaterally renaming the venue.

As part of the ruling, the Trump administration must remove all physical signage bearing Trump’s name and eliminate any references to a “Trump-Kennedy Center” from official materials.

In his decision, U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, an Obama appointee, stated: “The Kennedy Center’s organic statute makes crystal clear that the Center is to be named for President Kennedy, and it cannot bear any other formal name or public memorial based on the Board’s unilateral say-so. Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it.”

News of the court ruling sparked social media discussion:

In a Truth Social post, President Trump criticized the decision, stating he would work with Congress to transfer the Kennedy Center from the Department of Commerce back to Capitol Hill “giving them the responsibility for its Operation, Maintenance, and Management.” He also wrote: “Judge Cooper should be ashamed of himself!”

Spokesman Roma Daravi stated that on appeal, the court will uphold the board’s decision to recognize President Trump’s historic contributions to the cultural center. Beatty’s office did not respond to inquiries.

Additionally, in December, Trump’s handpicked Kennedy Center Board of Trustees voted unanimously to rename the performing arts center “The Donald J Trump and The John F Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.”
