The Kennedy Center, a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy, has installed President Trump's name on its facade. This move has sparked controversy, with many questioning the decision to honor a former president who was not a direct descendant of the Kennedy family.

The Kennedy Center's decision to add Trump's name to the facade was made in accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act, which allows for the installation of commemorative plaques and other markers on historic buildings.

However, some have criticized the move, arguing that it is inappropriate to honor a president who was not a direct descendant of the Kennedy family. Others have expressed concerns about the potential impact on the Kennedy Center's reputation and the legacy of the Kennedy family.

The Kennedy Center has defended its decision, stating that it is committed to honoring all presidents who have served the United States. The center has also noted that the installation of Trump's name is a temporary measure, and that it will be removed once a new president is elected.

The controversy surrounding the Kennedy Center's decision has sparked a wider debate about the role of presidential memorials and the importance of honoring the legacy of past presidents.
