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.

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.

Democratic lawmaker files lawsuit challenging the renaming of the Kennedy Center

Congresswoman Joyce Beatty sits on the center's board. And her lawsuit, which also names Trump appointees to the board, argues that renaming the center requires an act of Congress.

[...]

BEATTY: [I] was on that call. And as I tried to push my button to voice my concern, to ask questions and certainly not to vote in support of this, I was muted.

The new cancellations arrive several days after Kennedy Center President Richard Grenell threatened to take legal action against Redd for canceling the Christmas Eve show, calling his letter to the musician an “official notice” that the center would seek $1 million in damages for the “political stunt.”

“Your decision to withdraw at the last moment — explicitly in response to the Center’s recent renaming, which honors President Trump’s extraordinary efforts to save this national treasure — is classic intolerance and very costly to a non-profit Arts institution,” Grenell wrote in his letter. “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.”

Boundaries, manipulators, and the like.

He should rename it to the "Peepee Poopoo center for the shidding and the farding" and install golden toilets everywhere.
