Kennedy family members slam move to rename Kennedy Center

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5655708-kennedy-family-opposes-trump-kennedy-center/

“The Kennedy Center is a living memorial to a fallen president and named for President Kennedy by federal law,” the former congressman said. “It can no sooner be renamed than can someone rename the Lincoln Memorial, no matter what anyone says.”

Kerry Kennedy— the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy, who was assassinated as a presidential candidate — came out against the decision, accusing Trump of “repressing” artistic expression, which is the core mission of the center.

“President Trump and his administration have spent the past year repressing free expression, targeting artists, journalists, and comedians, and erasing the history of Americans whose contributions made our nation better and more just,” Kerry Kennedy, president of the Robert & Ethel Kennedy Human Rights Center, wrote in a post on X.

“President Kennedy proudly stood for justice, peace, equality, dignity, diversity, and compassion for those who suffer,” she continued. “President Trump stands in opposition to these values, and his name should not be placed alongside President Kennedy’s.”

We cant wait for the Treasury to start making the Trump $1 coins in 2026.

Seriously, this is scheduled to happen.

They should print a new $1,000,000 bill with Trump’s name/picture on it…….since many of his friends and family will be the ones that can afford them !

From battleships to buildings: Trump's name is everywhere

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/battleships-buildings-trumps-name-is-everywhere-2025-12-31/

  • Summary
  • Trump naming buildings and government programs after himself unusual
  • Kennedy Center, new class of warship, included in naming blitz
  • Critics worry populist move creates impression Trump, not the state, is the provider of government services
  • As a businessman Trump named buildings and products after himself for decades

Calling this unusual is a galactic understatement. This is clearly the work of a deranged, self serving,  obsessed narcissist who is blatantly abusing his power more and more as his dementia rapidly progresses.

The National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC has removed a placard that referred to Donald Trump’s two impeachments and his supporters’ January 6 attack on the US Capitol, according to multiple news reports.

The text removal appears to be the latest example of the president trying to exert control over the Smithsonian and change how the public remembers the Capitol riot.

 Kennedy Center to close for 2 years for renovations in July, Trump says, after performers’ backlash

The announcement follows a wave of cancellations since the president ousted the previous leadership and added his name to the arts venue.

What a  dishonest and diabolical man, Donald Trump is.

He takes control of the Kennedy Center, which was built and named to honor President Kennedy after he was assassinated. 

Donald Trump fires the entire board of directors and replaces them with his hand picked board (with him as chairman) to name the Kennedy Center after Donald Trump.

The outrage was enormous as dozens of acts cancelled, threatening a disaster.

In response to that huge embarrassment to Donald Trump, numerous acts bailing and ticket sales collapsing..... he surprises everybody and announces the Kennedy Center will close for 2 years so that Donald Trump doesn't have to experience additional embarrassment from the losses that Donald Trump caused to the Kennedy Center.

Here's who's canceled their Kennedy Center performances since Trump took over                                              

   


Here are some of the comments from the Kennedy Center:

Grenell wrote on X, "You just made it political and caved to the woke mob who wants you to perform for only Lefties."

   

"This mob pressuring you will never be happy until you only play for Democrats.

In a response emailed to NPR, the Kennedy Center's vice president for public relations, Roma Daravi, wrote: "We have no place for politics in the arts, and those calling for boycotts based on politics are making the wrong decision. We have not cancelled a single show. Leftist activists are pushing artists to cancel but the public wants artists to perform and create — not cancel under pressure from political insiders that benefit from creating division."

On Dec. 27, the Kennedy Center announced its plan to file a $1 million lawsuit against Redd. "Any artist canceling their show at the Trump Kennedy Center over political differences isn't courageous or principled—they are selfish, intolerant, and have failed to meet the basic duty of a public artist: to perform for all people," said Kennedy Center spokesperson Roma Daravi.

   

In a letter shared with NPR, Grenell condemned Redd: "Regrettably, your action surrenders to the sad bullying tactics employed by certain elements on the left, who have sought to intimidate artists into boycotting performances at our national cultural center."

Donald Trump took this wonderful place built in honor of our great President Kennedy who was assassinated in office,  with so many gifted entertainers planning to perform in 2026 and people benefiting and WRECKED IT.

Just like he's WRECKED so many other things the past year.

The profound audacity of what Donald Trump just did here is mind boggling.

After countless entertainers exercised their rights as Americans to protest against Donald Trump's delusional abuse of power and using America for his personal, self enriching schemes,  naming the Kennedy Center after him instead of being dedicated to President John Kennedy after this great president was assassinated, then the Donald Trump sycophants, initially condemned the entertainers for exercising their business and First Amendment rights because they claimed it hurt the people who go to see the Arts and Entertainment being offered at the Kennedy Center.

So what does Donald Trump do?

He completely shuts the place down for 2 years, thru half of 2028, the final year of Donald Trump's 2nd term which he will NEVER finish. 

The Kennedy Center has flourished for many decades.

Now, entirely because of Donald Trump it's going completely dead for at least 2 years!

Before this decision, there had been no discussion about shutting it down for repairs.  This decision was entirely made to avoid the huge embarrassment and consequences of another Donald Trump horrible decision. 

It's likely, that he will now completely twist the facts and brag about how he's making the Trump-Kennedy Center the greatest there ever was and this is why he shut it down. 

Watch to see this happen. Donald Trump's delusional, destructive behavior has become predictable. 

My prediction is that Donald Trump will not make it thru his 2nd term.  Extremely high confidence.

A series of contracts and receipts obtained by the EPW showed the Kennedy Center providing venue rentals to allies at a deep discount; spending almost $40,000 on luxury hotel rooms, lavish meals, and entertainment for friends over a period of three months; and providing work contracts to friends that were seemingly unrelated to Kennedy Center business.

The most notable example, which was also reported by the Washington Post, was the Center letting FIFA use its entire space for three weeks at no charge—at a loss of over $5 million to the Center.

Make no mistake that this was entirely Donald Trump's impact. Every single decision he has made caused the situation to get worse and worse for the Kennedy Center.  This is how Donald Trump always acts. When he makes a bad decision that is doing damage in that realm, he ramps up his lies and rhetoric, bragging about how his actions caused the faltering realm to be the greatest in history. Then he repeats it over and over while doubling down on the damaging decisions to make them even worse as he lies about how it's making that realm even better.

This blatant, out in the open for everybody to see example of the Kennedy Center is exactly how Donald Trump leads in every realm.

He was already a self absorbed psychopath  but now the unbridled power, along with his CRYSTAL CLEAR progressive dementia is causing him to morph into an increasingly dangerous man. 

And it's only been 1 year!!!!

The most profoundly concerning question that we should all be the most worried about is what will Donald Trump do when he sees the end of his 2nd term coming prematurely?

The potentially bad outcomes are unlimited if  increasingly desperate Donald Trump is given X months in office before he's removed.

We see a perfect example of how he reacts to protesting to his renaming the Kennedy Center.

HE SHUTS IT DOWN to protect Donald Trump from being embarrassed(facing accountability).

Make no mistake, when Donald Trump is removed, he WILL do everything in his power to punish/destroy the United States, just like he just did to the Kennedy Center. If he can't finish his 2nd term, Donald Trump will try to destroy the United States. As the most powerful man in the world that is already ruining our relationships and reputation, he clearly is  already unable to see clearly and act in the best interest of the United States. 

Mark my words, this is no President Nixon, who had a great amount of integrity and honor and wanted to do what's best for the United States when he resigned after getting busted and seeing the writing on the wall, then getting pardoned by President Ford.

Donald Trump is the most vengeful politician in history that only cares about Donald Trump. He is delusional with progressive dementia. In a drawn out removal process, with all his appointed sycophants (in every government agency) having pledged allegiance to Donald Trump and not the United States, the potential outcomes are scary because they would fight for Donald Trump.

After the D's start the investigation of Donald Trump IMMEDIATELY after they get control of Congress, what they find will make Watergate look like jay walking. Never mind the 2018 impeachment joke by the political Ds over a phone call. There are hundreds of much more serious offenses committed by Donald Trump in just his first year, many are legit reasons to impeach him.

Try to imagine what it will be like when that investigation is being done and the media is shouting it all from the rooftops.

Trump's name must come off of the Kennedy Center, judge rules

https://www.npr.org/2026/05/29/nx-s1-5839349/president-trump-kennedy-center-name-judge-order

In a post on Truth Social President Trump blasted Judge Cooper for blocking his plans for the Kennedy Center, and said that the institution is financially and structurally troubled. Trump said he would work with Congress to relinquish the administration's role in overseeing the Kennedy Center, "Unless I am free to do what I do better than anyone else, bring this Institution back, physically, financially, and artistically, I have no interest in continuing what could only be a hopeless journey into "NEVER NEVER LAND.""

Cooper's ruling resulted from a lawsuit filed in March by Rep. Joyce Beatty of Ohio, an ex-officio member of the Kennedy Center board whose voting rights there were stripped last year. "Today's ruling rightly affirms that this administration's efforts to rename and close the Center have no basis in law," Rep. Beatty said in a statement to NPR. "The Kennedy Center is an institution that belongs to the American people, not to Donald Trump. He has desecrated this sacred memorial for his own vanity. I am proud to have fought for the rule of law and to protect this sacred institution."

Trump's declaration is just part of his mental illness, delusions of grandeur but his main objective is trying to make Donald Trump an historical legend by putting his name on as many things as possible and having as many conquests( including huge global conquests that hurt Americans) as possible. 

In addition, he is clearly suffering from progressive dementia.

Here's who's canceled their Kennedy Center performances since Trump took over

                                                 


When President Donald Trump was named chairman of the Kennedy Center's board in February 2025, backlash from ticket buyers, slated performers, and certain board members — including Shonda Rhimes — was swift.  

One of the first performers to cancel was a touring production of the musical Hamilton. In a statement on X in March 2025, producer Jeffrey Seller said he opposed the Trump administration's ousting of many Democratic board members.

   "The recent purge by the Trump Administration of both professional staff and performing arts events at or originally produced by the Kennedy Center flies in the face of everything this national center represents," wrote Seller.

      Actress and writer Issa Rae followed suit with a post on Instagram, cancelling her sold-out March performance.

   A slew of additional artists and performance companies canceled after Trump-appointed members of the Kennedy Center's board voted to rename the center "The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts" in December. Congress has not yet authorized the name change. Since the power of the venue's board to rename the center is currently in dispute, NPR continues to refer to the Kennedy Center using its legal name.

   In February, President Trump announced plans to close the performing arts center for two years in July "for Construction, Revitalization, and Complete Rebuilding" to create what he said "can be, without question, the finest Performing Arts Facility of its kind, anywhere in the World."

++++++++++

The incredible amount of damage that Trump is willing to impose on the Kennedy Center just to have his name on it is hard to fathom by a person that doesn't understand the pathological thinking of the mentally ill. Donald Trump IS A PSYCHOPATH with 1 main objective. To make himself an historical legend no matter how many people and places that must suffer or be taken out for him to elevate himself to the place his delusional self image belief system is obsessed with. 

That person will be the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES..........but not for his entire term. He diseased brain cannot heal and the impeachable offenses that already far exceed the threshold for impeachment are only mounting for the D impeachment investigation that's opened by the D's that gain control of the House after this next election.

Another item that will likely be added to the list will be his attempts to take control of this upcoming election in order to cheat and change the outcome to what he wants.

We know he tried to overturn the 2020 election for 2 months and caused a violent Insurrection in January 2021 WHEN HE DIDN'T HAVE NEARLY THIS MUCH POWER! It's inconceivable to think that he will let our democracy run its legal course this time.

There is almost no way that Donald Trump will not be impeached in 2027. Odds of 2/3rds majority needed in the Senate to also remove him (which the majority of Americans support and the majority of people in the world support) is growing by the day because he is getting worse and WORSE and WORSE!

The scariest thought is, as the most powerful man in the world that has lost touch with realities as he breaks laws, starts wars(trade wars and military war-global energy crisis), names things after himself,  refuses to follow ethical standards or laws as he reeks havoc on the world for Donald Trump........what will he do in desperation in 2027 as his impeachment get's closer and closer?

There is no limit to how extreme he will get.  Using a nuclear weapon against Iran to teach them a lesson for wrecking him, after his unjustified war is a distinct possibility.

He would justify it by pointing out the US dropping atomic bombs on Japan after WW-2 because they would not surrender unconditionally!

I am serious as a heart attack speculating that potential!

Who would stop him?

Cooper's May order blocks the board from closing the Center until it approves a shutdown that follows his opinion and he lifts that freeze, the motion says. The board voted Tuesday to close. Cooper has not lifted it.

"It seems Defendants may be violating the 'clear and unambiguous order of the Court,'" Beatty's lawyers wrote, quoting a 2025 appeals court ruling.

Trump announced the immediate closure Tuesday on Truth Social, writing that the board had agreed almost unanimously to shut the building for safety reasons and begin reconstruction.

Then some more about closed for construction and it ends with an notion of the care going into this:

Brantley Myers, a lawyer for the defendants, had told Beatty's team the night before that a loudspeaker closure announcement followed an improperly triggered fire alarm, the motion says. Asked Wednesday for an explanation, he wrote that the defense "will respond with an explanation as soon as we can," and had not written again when the motion was filed.

"Afterward, I saw a forklift carrying what appeared to be a more permanent form of fencing drive over to the north side of the building. I saw the forklift run into and hit the pillars on the building several times," Kennedy-Bailey wrote.

False or misleading statements by Donald Trump

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_or_misleading_statements_by_Donald_Trump

Fact-checkers from The Washington Post[1] (top, monthly), the Toronto Star[2] and CNN[3][4] (bottom, weekly) compiled data on "false or misleading claims" and "false claims", respectively. The peaks corresponded in late 2018 to the midterm elections, in late 2019 to his impeachment inquiry, and in late 2020 to the presidential election. The Post reported 30,573 false or misleading claims in four years,[1] an average of more than 20.9 per day.

George Washington was known in the cherry tree story to say "I cannot tell a lie trump!"

Donald Trump is shown above as "He cannot tell the TRUTH" which is the diametrically opposed polar opposite of this key character trait that makes George Washington one of our most respected presidents.

The Trump Ocean…lolololololololololololololololololololololololol

He has to be trolling. He has to be! No way he’s serious about such silliness. He just wants to rile up the press and Democrats, right?

lolololololololololololololol

Folks, I’m literally laughing right now!

 Can you imagine if he renames the Atlantic the Trump Ocean? The N Atlantic basin for hurricanes would be called the N Trump basin…….LMAO!!

 The NHC Tropical Wx Outlooks would start out as:

“The tropical wx outlook for the North Trump, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of America” lolololololol

So, if one lives on the Atlantic coast now, he/she will in the future be living on the Trump coast. If one likes to take Atlantic cruises, they’ll instead be Trump cruises!

The Middle Atlantic states would change to the Middle Trump states.

 The ACC would be rebranded the TCC

The Atlantic provinces of Canada would become the Trump provinces of Canada ….wait a minute here! If he can’t claim Canada as the 51st state, he can change the name of part of Canada to his favorite name lol. He’d like that better anyway.

Atlantic City, which Trump has several bankruptcies in? No more as it’s new name would be Trump City.

Atlantic Standard Time’s new name? Trump Standard Time

NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) would be no more. Instead, NTTO)

Atlantic Salmon would be Trump Salmon

How much more evidence does the world need, as we observe Donald Trump in real time that has a diseased brain from 2 different pathological conditions that are progressing at the same time?

The evidence below comes from this scientist. It's presented using authentic, objective MEDICAL/PSYCHIATRIC facts that are independent of my personal feelings about Donald Trump.

1. Donald Trump has delusions of grandeur(has had it for decades but the severity is advancing at an alarming rate)-this is psychiatric,  which is being positively reinforced by his adulators, instead of being treated.

2. Donald Trump has progressive dementia-this is organic and there is no person on planet earth to ever recover.

Now that we've had well over a year to observe Donald Trump during his 2nd term, it seems clear that he was very serious about this and most of the other galactically delusional thoughts/ideas since then.


AI Overview

Delusions of grandeur (also known as grandiose delusions) are fixed, false beliefs that a person is far more powerful, wealthy, famous, intelligent, or capable than they actually are. These beliefs do not change even when faced with clear proof that they are untrue. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Key Characteristics

  • Fixed Conviction: The person strongly believes the fantasy is real and ignores conflicting facts.
  • Not Normal Ambition: Unlike everyday goals or healthy self-confidence, these beliefs are completely out of touch with reality and cannot be adjusted with new information.
  • Lack of Insight: The individual generally does not recognize that their thought is a symptom or a product of imagination. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Common Types

  • Religious or Divine: Believing one is a deity, a prophet, or chosen for a sacred mission.
  • Wealth or Power: Believing one owns vast fortunes, controls global economies, or runs a massive empire.
  • Fame or Status: Believing one is a famous celebrity, a royal figure, or a close confidant of world leaders.
  • Superpowers or Special Skills: Believing one has magical abilities, unique immunity to harm, or world-changing scientific genius. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Causes and Associated ConditionsGrandiose delusions are often symptoms of an underlying mental health or neurological condition, as outlined by Medical News Today:

  • Schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder
  • Bipolar disorder (typically during a manic episode)
  • Psychosis of other origins
  • Dementia or organic brain injuries, strokes, or tumors
  • Narcissistic personality disorder (though true NPD involves a need for admiration rather than a fixed psychotic delusion) [1, 2]

Treatment OptionsTreatment typically focuses on managing the primary condition driving the belief. This may include: [1, 2]

  • Medication: Antipsychotics or mood stabilizers prescribed by a psychiatrist.
  • Psychotherapy: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or supportive counseling to help build coping skills.
  • Medical Support: Residential or outpatient care programs like those available through A Mission For Michael for structured stabilization

+++++++++++++++

The biggest problem here is that Donald Trump is not only NOT getting treatment, he is getting the most profoundly powerful positive reinforcement to his disease in the history of mankind. 

He actually IS the most powerful man in the world and he has 40,000,000 Americans in the MAGA cult that adulate him like a God. 

He has appointed countless puppets to key positions that got the job by pledging allegiance to Donald Trump. 

He is convinced that anybody that disagrees with anything he imposes is completely wrong and needs to be censured or eliminated because he is omnipotent, the greatest president in history and a God like figure that mandates adulation by everybody.

I read you loud and clear on that, Larry!!!

That's actually why I make up the many dozens of meme's here.

Some of the words are actual quotes but most are made up by me using parody and truths about certain situations to express opinions in a funny way. I am truly having great fun sharing it! 

Some of them, however have serious as a heart attack messages, while providing me the opportunity to use MarketForum as a platform to speak out about this diabolical man.

Do I get carried away with this?

For sure but I post some of this stuff on Facebook and X because I enjoy SHARING authentic truths, that includes tons of positive stuff here and feel an OBLIGATION to use MarketForum to do that.

I was once again thinking about the Trump Ocean silliness and it just caused me to have still another laughing spell that was strong enough to make me tear up! This is healthy.

 Only the strongest ones will do that to me! I realize that my sense of humor is quite different from that of most other people. Some of the things that make me laugh the hardest don’t make others laugh at all and vice versa. I tend to laugh at very silly things.

 This is actually healthy.

This is wonderful to read, Larry!

I agree in the strongest way!

Let's hope that we will both be laughing or crying with tears of joy for another reason next year.........when Donald Trump is impeached and removed.  

When that happens, there will be billions in the world who will also be celebrating! Maybe not with the same gusto but still celebrating.

Trump invokes executive privilege in Kennedy Center court fight

A lawyer for the White House said information about the president’s management of the center, including efforts to add his name to it, should be off-limits.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/president-invokes-executive-privilege-kennedy-center-court-fight-rcna603701

“Donald Trump appointed himself as chair of the non-profit board of the Kennedy Center, and is now trying to shield his management by improperly invoking executive privilege,” the lawyers, Norm Eisen of Democracy Defenders Action and Nathaniel Zelinsky of Washington Litigation Group, said in a statement.

“The Supreme Court has stressed that the government should not invoke executive privilege lightly, but that is precisely what the Department of Justice is doing here. This kind of cover-up is a direct assault on the rule of law,” they said.
