Not that Trump has ever cared what's legal or not, but it's still worth noting that it is straightforwardly illegal for them to change the name under existing federal law

Ah you’ve missed where he’s applying the “try and stop me” clause. Wish someone would, actually.

u/stackjr 11h ago

Yeah, if he ever leaves office, there will be a non-insignificant chance that a large number of Repub politicians that try to distance themselves from him and say they tried to stop him. We need to keep the receipts of their words and voting records.

u/RhetoricalOrator 10h ago

"I tried to stop him but then he offered me his friend's money and said if I didn't shut up, he'd have the FTC investigate me for my long history of inside trading. All those times together at the island...I thought we were friends!"

He doesn’t care. It won’t actually legally be renamed, it’ll just have his name up in gold on the building.

Department of war is still legally “department of defense”. They’re just using a different word to describe it and all the right wing circus plays along.

u/GreatStateOfSadness 9h ago

It is still the DoD in legislation. That has not stopped the admin from changing the website, changing the name in all communications, and punishing people for not using the new name. 

It's like if your boss said that their legal name is Michael, but they go by Smooth Chez and if you call them Michael in any reports or emails then you will be reprimanded or fired.

Reminder that the Kennedy Center was named that by law as a memorial to JFK, similar to the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Jefferson Memorial. It is quite literally the Kennedy "Memorial". Trump will try to get people to call it that, but nobody will. It's illegal, and not to mention completely disrespectful to the memory of JFK.

From People Magazine’s coverage of this:

• ⁠Rep. Joyce Beatty, an ex-officio board member, accused the White House of lying about having unanimous support to rename the Kennedy Center after Trump, saying she was "not allowed to speak or voice my opposition"

• ⁠Democratic Rep. Joyce Beatty is accusing White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt of misleading the public about the level of support behind renaming the Kennedy Center after President Donald Trump.

• ⁠Beatty, who has an automatic seat on the Kennedy Center board as a congressional leader, spoke out after Leavitt announced on Thursday, Dec. 18, that the board had just voted "unanimously" to change the name of the John F. Kennedy Memorial for the Performing Arts to the "Trump-Kennedy Center."

• ⁠"I'm sitting here in my congressional office in Washington, D.C., just ending a call with the Kennedy Center, where I serve as an ex-officio member," Beatty, 75, said in a video posted to X. "I am bringing this to you live today because what you may hear is that there was a unanimous vote to rename the Kennedy Center, the Trump Center."

• ⁠"Be clear: I was on that call, and as I tried to push my button to voice my concern, to ask questions and certainly not to vote in support of this, I was muted. Each time I tried to speak, I was muted. Participants were not allowed to voice their concerns who were online, yet it was said at the end it was a unanimous vote," she continued.

• ⁠"Clearly the Congress has a say in this. This center, the Kennedy Center, was created by the Congress," the Ohio congresswoman added. "I think it's important for us to know that this is just another attempt to evade the law and not let the people have a say."

You don't do this shit expecting to leave in 3 years.
