Jesse Watters Says Trump Told Him Why He's Really Building His Ballroom - And It's Gross
The White House has announced plans to rename the Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center. The move follows a decision by the centre’s board, now chaired by former President Donald Trump. Legal hurdles may arise, as congressional approval is required for such a change.
The Kennedy Center was originally named in 1964 to honour President John F. Kennedy. In January 2025, after his inauguration, Trump restructured the board and appointed himself chairman. Under his leadership, the board unanimously voted to add his name to the venue.
Earlier this month, the White House confirmed the proposed name change. Trump has also shared plans to build a monument to himself, stating that 'no one else will'. His name already appears on dozens of buildings worldwide.
During a recent interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters, Trump claimed his ballroom is four times larger than the White House. The potential renaming of the Kennedy Center, however, faces a likely legal challenge due to the need for congressional approval.
The proposed Trump-Kennedy Center name change now depends on Congress. If approved, it would mark another high-profile building bearing Trump’s name. The decision has already sparked discussion about the process and precedent for renaming national landmarks.
