According to the proposal, the new name would instead become Trump Center for the Performing Arts, writes The Wrap.
The name change is part of a new bill proposal. The initiator, the Republican representative Bob Onder, calls it Make entertainment great again (Mega).
”It is hard to find a more significant cultural icon in the last 40 years than President Trump”, he says.
He refers, among other things, to Donald Trump's roles in the TV series "The Apprentice" and the film "Home Alone 2”.
President Trump was appointed chairman of the Kennedy Center in February, after the previous chairman was dismissed. After Trump's appointment, the sale of single tickets to events at the Kennedy Center fell by 50 percent compared to the same period in 2024.
Last week, the Republicans in the House of Representatives approved a proposal to name an opera house inside the Kennedy Center the First Lady Melania Trump Opera House.
