Washington DC: Workers on Saturday began dismantling the name of US President Donald Trump from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. This comes after a federal court ordered the removal of Trump's references from the building, calling the rebranding of the landmark venue unlawful.
Visuals showed workers removing the words ‘The Donald J Trump and’ from the white marble structure, which read, ‘The Donald J Trump and The John F Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts’. Shortly before workers began the dismantling process, people gathered in large number around the centre were heard chanting “Take it down" repeatedly.
The structure underwent a controversial name change in December 2025, with the four words 'The Donald J Trump and' being added to the structure after a board of trustees unanimously voted to rename the venue.
The centre serves as a memorial to 35th US president John F. Kennedy.
