Trump’s Name Back at Kennedy Center | Panama City Beach News

The Justice Department is back in court pushing to reinstate President Trump’s name at the Kennedy Center, arguing new inscriptions honoring his restoration efforts don’t violate any laws. The move follows a lawsuit by Rep. Joyce Beatty, who claims the board is using rebranding to distract from financial mismanagement. A judge previously blocked the center’s closure and ordered Trump’s name removed, ruling only Congress can change the name. Though the original lettering was taken down, the board voted to add new phrases like “renovated and restored by President Donald J. Trump” and plans to rename the campus — potentially costing $257 million. The Justice Department insists these additions are legally distinct from the original name change, while the Kennedy Center has agreed to delay all plans until at least September 8.
