Some members of the Kennedy family and several lawmakers expressed opposition to the move and questioned its legality.
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington donned a new name — the Trump-Kennedy Center — on the exterior of the building Friday, just a day after Donald Trump’s hand-picked board voted to change the arts institution’s name.
The move came despite concerns about the legality of the shift and objections from members of the Kennedy family and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle after the center announced that its board on Thursday voted unanimously to approve the name change.
Legal experts told NBC News earlier this year that the Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson administration-era statutes governing the creation of the Kennedy Center had enshrined the original name in legislation. They added that a new law passed by both chambers of Congress and signed by the president would be needed to change the name.
Putting aside the legal and practical stuff involved…
How can anyone look at this shit as anything other than endlessly and hopelessly pathetic?
Like… This guy is such a special snowflake that he needs to have constant praise, adoration, external validation, attention, participation trophies, empty gestures, gifts, and recognition for things he has nothing to do with? Such a sad little bitch that he can’t even stand up to a single grain of criticism of a single drop of scrutiny? The type of guy who can dish out lame insults and then crashes out spectacularly whenever someone dares fire back with a joke?
Is this dude really the best America has to offer?
Putting this mentally weak, physically unfit, emotionally unhunged man-baby on a pedestal really speaks volumes about the American people.
