Donald Trump’s latest act of self-immortalization has crossed into something closer to parody. After Trump abruptly slapped his name on the Kennedy Center, John F. Kennedy’s niece, Maria Shriver, stepped in to call out the vandalism.
On Thursday, Dec. 18, the board of trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts voted to rename the institution after Trump. It’s now called the “Donald J. Trump and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.” Or, the Trump Kennedy Center, in short. Yes, “Trump” before Kennedy.
