The name change was voted on by a board appointed by Trump. I think they already changed the signs on the building. They did an award show which was hosted by Trump.

The name change was voted on by a board appointed by Trump.

There was also a democrat - a black woman - on the panel not put there by Trump. They silenced her and they didn't allow her to vote.
