what to watch for<\/h2>\n

Whether the center\u2019s appeal eventually succeeds. Late last week, the center\u2019s board of trustees voted to appeal<\/u> the federal judge\u2019s ruling that mandated Trump\u2019s name be removed. The center also attempted to pause the judge\u2019s ruling while the appeal plays out, but both a federal judge and an appeals court rejected their request for a stay. Kennedy Center officials have suggested in legal filings it would restore Trump\u2019s name should it win an appeal, saying in a filing last week the center would \u201crevert back to the current name\u201d\u2014referring to the \u201cTrump Kennedy Center\u201d name\u2014if the appeal succeeds. <\/p>\n

The tarp has disappointed onlookers who had hoped to watch Trump\u2019s name come down from the building. The New York Times<\/u> reported about 150 people had gathered in front of the center on Saturday, hoping to watch Trump\u2019s name be removed, but the tarp blocked their view. After the appeals court rejected the Kennedy Center\u2019s attempt to pause the directive to remove Trump\u2019s name Friday night, about 100 onlookers erupted in cheers, the Washington Post<\/u> reported. Tim Terpstra, a Washington, D.C. resident, told CNN<\/u> over the weekend he visited the Kennedy Center twice to see the removal of Trump\u2019s name. \u201cIt would be nice to be able to see to make sure that it is down, and no vestiges of what was up there still remain,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

surprising fact<\/h2>\n

Despite the court ruling, the Kennedy Center board of trustees voted to establish an endowment fund that bears Trump\u2019s name. The fund, called the \u201cTrump Kennedy Center Fund,\u201d is intended to \u201crecognize President Donald J. Trump’s significant contributions and dedication to America’s premier cultural center,\u201d Roma Davari, the Kennedy Center\u2019s vice president of public relations, told CBS News<\/u> on Sunday. Davari said the center remains \u201cfully compliant with the court’s directive,\u201d and CBS News reported the endowment will focus on the \u201cphysical disrepair\u201d of the building, citing an unnamed source familiar.<\/p>\n

key background<\/h2>\n

U.S. District Judge Christopher R. Cooper ruled<\/u> in late May the Kennedy Center had two weeks to remove Trump\u2019s name from all physical and digital materials. Cooper cited the center\u2019s establishing law, which says the Kennedy Center\u2019s name cannot be changed without congressional approval, saying the law \u201cmakes crystal clear that the Center is to be named for President Kennedy.\u201d The Kennedy Center board of trustees, hand-picked by Trump, had voted to add Trump\u2019s name to the center in December. Rep. Joyce Beatty, D-Ohio, filed a lawsuit challenging the addition of Trump\u2019s name, citing the center\u2019s establishing law. Trump blasted Cooper\u2019s ruling, suggesting in a post on Truth Social<\/u> he should be \u201cbrought up on charges\u201d for conflict of interest because his wife, Amy Jeffress, is a personal counsel to former President Joe Biden. Trump has embarked on a broader takeover of the Kennedy Center, purging the board and replacing its members with allies as he has denigrated the center\u2019s \u201cwoke\u201d programming. <\/p>\n
