He's renamed the Kennedy Centre already

[canetoad]

I went to the website, looking for the names of the board members who voted to rename. Greeted by a popup saying the site experiencing more traffic than usual .... etc. This is how the website looks

1. I'll never refer to it by that name.

It’s the Kennedy Center. Period. End of story. (At least for me.)

2. Here is the list of Board Members.

I believe only the regular board members named by Trump voted.

Half are members of his administration or family members of people in the administration. Only 3 can be said to have even the loosest connection to the Arts.

Lee Greenwood - Singer
Mary Helen Bowers - former Ballerina
Patricia Duggan - supposedly a "Glass Artist"

I'm sure these 34 were the only ones who voted.

3. He's done no such thing.

Karoline Leavitt claims that the name has been changed, but she's wrong.

6. Thanks, I get all that

He's had a kid insert one word in the html. Of course everything else is unchanged, including the domain name.

I feel that tsf and Musk are trolling.

8. Of course it hasn't been legally changed

but changing it on the website is an incomprehensibly horrible and sick thing to do (which has been done).

[mahatmakanejeeves]

10. No doubt Sean Duffy will withhold funds from DC if the highway signage isn't changed. NT

4. He renames a lot of things he does not deserve to

Like president.

Only fair one is the Trump Memorial Library. Attaching photo in an edit.

7. To be followed by the Trump Lincoln Memorial and Trump Wahington Monument.

9. One of the board members was muted

...on the zoom meeting - she was not permitted to voice her opposition.

It was not unanimous - it was rigged.
