A U.S. District Judge, Christopher Cooper, has upheld an order to remove President Donald Trump's name from the facade of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. The judge dismissed a request from the center's board, which was appointed by Trump, to reverse the decision by Friday. This ruling follows a previous determination that the addition of Trump's name was illegal. In response, Trump criticized the ruling in a social media post, expressing his disappointment with the decision. The center's Office of General Counsel had previously instructed staff to refer to the institution as 'The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts' or 'Kennedy Center' in official communications, and the website has also removed Trump's name. The board's appeal to maintain the name was rejected by Judge Cooper.
