It called for an inscription on the building\u2019s facade crediting Trump with having \u201crestored and renovated\u201d the center. The board also sought to designate the grounds in front of the building as the President Donald J. Trump Plaza, according to reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cooper rejected the board\u2019s argument that the inscription would recognize Trump\u2019s work on the renovation rather than rename the institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLinguistic gymnastics cannot extricate the Kennedy Center\u2019s Board from an operative judicial order,\u201d the judge wrote, as quoted by ABC News.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Congress Holds the Naming Authority<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dispute centers on the Kennedy Center\u2019s status as a congressionally designated memorial to President John F. Kennedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uscode.house.gov\/view.xhtml?edition=prelim&amp;num=0&amp;req=granuleid%3AUSC-prelim-title20-section76q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Federal law<\/a> identifies the center as the sole national memorial to Kennedy in the Washington area and directs its trustees to prevent additional memorials or memorial-style plaques from being installed in the building\u2019s public areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cooper first ruled in May that the board lacked the authority to rename the center without congressional approval. He ordered Trump\u2019s name removed from the exterior after the board had added it in December 2025. The lettering came down in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The August resolution attempted a narrower form of recognition. In addition to the facade inscription and plaza name, it contemplated another inscription if a proposed Trump Kennedy Center Fund raised $100 million, according to the AP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuesday\u2019s ruling blocks the facade tribute and the plaza designation. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/us-news\/law\/trumps-name-cant-be-reinstalled-on-kennedy-center-judge-rules-34a7c28a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Wall Street Journal reported<\/a> that Cooper did not resolve whether a later inscription tied to a fully funded endowment could be permissible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Closure Fight Continues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The naming dispute is unfolding alongside a separate battle over whether the Kennedy Center should close for renovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The board voted 23-3 in August to approve a two-year closure as part of a renovation plan then estimated at $285 million, according to a court filing cited by ABC News. Congress has already allocated $257 million for infrastructure work at the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kennedy Center officials say the aging building has serious water damage, corrosion and other safety problems. A portion of the ceiling in the Grand Foyer fell during a storm earlier this month; no one was injured. The center said the incident showed why extensive repairs are urgent, while opponents of an immediate closure have challenged whether the available engineering reports support declaring the entire building unsafe. <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/790805881418360c7b8a84ef6b94a5cd\">Multiple report<\/a>s indicated that the center\u2019s leadership renewed its call for a shutdown after the ceiling collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before Tuesday\u2019s meeting, Justice Department attorneys told the court that the board\u2019s agenda would focus exclusively on the proposed closure and would not include additional measures honoring Trump. An email included with the filing said trustees continued to stand by the recognition resolution they adopted in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio) an ex officio member of the board, brought the lawsuit challenging the naming and closure plans. Her attorneys argued that the proposed tribute defied Cooper\u2019s earlier injunction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest order does not end the broader dispute over the center\u2019s future. Questions about the renovation, the proposed two-year shutdown and the institution\u2019s finances remain before the board and the court. But on the naming issue, Cooper\u2019s conclusion was direct: any new memorial at the Kennedy Center requires Congress to act first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A federal judge on Tuesday blocked the Kennedy Center\u2019s latest attempt to place President Donald Trump\u2019s name on the performing arts complex, ruling that the proposal violated both federal law and an earlier court order.
