Kennedy Center to be renamed Melania?

A House of Representative subcommittee voted last night to name the Kennedy Center for the performing arts after Melania Trump, wife of the sitting president.

‘This designation is an excellent way to recognize her support and commitment to promoting the arts,’ said Rep. Mike Simpson, a Republican from Idaho who is steering the Appropriations Committee’s spending bill that funds John F. Kennedy Center.

The committee voted 33-25 to adopt the name change.
