The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., is in the process of removing all references to former President Donald Trump following a ruling by US District Judge Christopher Cooper, who deemed the addition of Trump's name illegal. Roma Daravi, the center's vice-president of public relations, confirmed the institution's compliance with the court's order while evaluating potential legal options to recognize Trump's leadership. According to a memo from the Kennedy Center's Office of General Counsel, all documents must reflect the original name by June 12. The ruling not only mandates the removal of Trump's name but also blocks his administration's plans for major renovations scheduled for July. In response, Trump expressed his dissatisfaction with the ruling, labeling Judge Cooper as biased and suggesting that the center would soon be closed permanently. This development represents a significant setback for Trump's ambitions to reshape iconic Washington landmarks, which included plans for the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and a new arch between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery.
