Trump’s Name vs. U.S. Institute of Peace | Portland Maine News

Former board members of the U.S. Institute of Peace, ousted by the Trump administration, are suing to stop the government from permanently carving President Trump’s name into the nonprofit’s headquarters — a move they say would irreparably damage the building’s symbol of independence and undermine its mission to promote democracy. The institute, founded in 1984, is funded largely by private donations, and while Trump’s name was temporarily bolted on last December, legal action now seeks to halt ongoing work before it becomes permanent. This fight echoes past disputes like the Kennedy Center standoff, with the plaintiffs arguing that honoring Trump isn’t necessary until legal battles are resolved — and that the building’s integrity must be preserved.
