House Republican Wants To Rename The Kennedy Center After Trump
HuffPost
The president has worked to drastically reshape the center in recent months.
Rep. Bob Onder (R-Mo.) put forth a bill last Wednesday seeking to rename the Kennedy Center after President Donald Trump, who is conducting an overhaul of the cultural institution.
The bill comes after a similar effort earlier last week in which House Republicans pushed for the Kennedy Center’s opera house to be named after first lady Melania Trump.
In a statement last week announcing his bill, Onder cited the president and former reality TV star’s “love and mastery of entertainment.”
“You would be hard pressed to find a more significant cultural icon in the past 40 years than President Trump,” Onder said. “President Trump’s love and mastery of entertainment has stood the test of time and allowed him to capture Americans’ attention for decades.”
“I cannot think of a more ubiquitous symbol of American exceptionalism in the arts, entertainment, and popular culture at large than President Trump.”
