一名众议院共和党人想以唐纳德·特朗普总统的名字给肯尼迪中心重新命名。
密苏里州众议员鲍勃·翁德尔最近提出了一项立法,将约翰·肯尼迪表演艺术中心命名为唐纳德·特朗普表演艺术中心。
衡量标准是-有资格的“让娱乐再次伟大”法案目前没有任何其他共同发起者,但在众议院共和党人提出以第一夫人梅兰妮·特朗普的名字给肯尼迪中心的歌剧院重新命名后,该法案出台了。
“在过去的40年里,你很难找到比特朗普总统更重要的文化偶像,”众议员翁德说说在上周的一份声明中。“特朗普总统对娱乐的热爱和掌握经受住了时间的考验,并让他几十年来吸引了美国人的注意力。"
这是国会共和党人将肯尼迪中心转向更特朗普化方向的又一举措。特朗普总统今年2月当选肯尼迪中心董事会主席。
特朗普签署的共和党大规模税收和政策法案包括用于肯尼迪中心维修的2.57亿美元。对于2026财年,共和党人希望将该中心的预算削减17%。
GOP Rep. Onder’s bill would rename Kennedy Center for Trump
A House Republican wants to rename the Kennedy Center after President Donald Trump.
Rep. Bob Onder of Missouri recently introduced the legislation, which would designate the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as the Donald J. Trump Center for the Performing Arts.
The measure --entitledthe Make Entertainment Great Again Act -- does not currently have any other co-sponsors but comes after House Republicans advanced a proposal to rename the Kennedy Center’s Opera House after first lady Melania Trump.
“You would be hard pressed to find a more significant cultural icon in the past 40 years than President Trump,” Rep. Ondersaidin a statement last week. “President Trump’s love and mastery of entertainment has stood the test of time and allowed him to capture Americans’ attention for decades.”
This is another move by Republicans in Congress to turn the Kennedy Center in a more Trumpian direction. President Trump was elected as chairman of the Kennedy Center’s board in February.
The Republican’s massive tax and policy bill signed into law by Trump included $257 million for Kennedy Center repairs. For fiscal year 2026, Republicans hope to make a 17% cut to the center’s budget.
