A Thursday memo from the center’s Office of General Counsel, a copy of which was obtained by Politico, ordered staff to begin removing references to Trump from everything, from communication and promotional materials to signage.
The memo did not state if the center, where Trump is chairperson of the board and whose leadership is packed with his allies, plans to appeal the ruling.
The Kennedy Center’s board in December had attempted to attach Trump’s name to the storied institution, named by Congress after the assassinated former President John F. Kennedy in 1964. But the move drew backlash and a lawsuit from Rep. Joyce Beatty (D, Ohio), one of the board’s ex-officio members.
Cooper’s ruling also blocked the board’s March decision to close down the Kennedy Center for two years for renovations, ruling that the sweeping closure announced by Trump in February appeared “ill-informed and seemingly preordained.” But Cooper said repair work may continue, and he didn’t bar any future board decision to close the center, as long as the board has “sufficient information to make a considered, independent decision.”
The ruling is a setback to Trump’s ongoing attempt to change Washington’s historical landmarks—which also includes plans to build a Triumphal Arch and ongoing demolition of the White House’s East Wing to make way for a ballroom, projects that are similarly facing legal challenges.
But Trump already seems to have soured on putting his personal stamp on the center, despite having previously gone into specific details about how he plans to remake it.
“Unless I am free to do what I do better than anyone else, bring this Institution back, physically, financially, and artistically,” Trump added, “I have no interest in continuing what could only be a hopeless journey into ‘NEVER NEVER LAND.’”
