A video circulating on social media purports to show workers removing Donald Trump's name from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The clip, which has garnered over 725,000 views, depicts a worker removing the 'J.' from Trump's name, followed by cheers from onlookers. However, this video is not real; it is AI-generated. On May 29, a federal judge ordered the Kennedy Center to remove Trump's name, giving the center two weeks to comply. The center has announced plans to appeal this decision. On the same day as the ruling, Trump expressed intentions to work with Congress to transfer the facility back to them via a post on Truth Social. Despite the judge's order, images released on June 1 confirm that Trump's name still appears on the center's facade. The original AI-generated video was shared by user @cabracabaret on TikTok and Instagram, with visible signs of artificial intelligence, including misspellings and incomplete words. This claim about the name removal is rated as False.
