Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n\r\n

A little more than a decade ago, President Barack Obama stood before the White House Correspondents Dinner audience and joked that Donald Trump might want to hang a huge “Trump” sign on the White House were he elected president of the United States.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The quip drew uproarious laughter. Trump, who was in the audience, wasn’t laughing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now, it seems that the joke isn’t so funny. Trump has just agreed to plaster his name on the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The center board has voted to call it the “Trump Kennedy Center … “<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Roll that around for a moment and consider why this is so horribly wrong. Trump’s name would appear in front of the slain president for whom the center was named … in his honor! Moreover, it’s not at all clear that the decision is legal, given that the center was named through a congressional act; therefore, it well could require an act of Congress to change the name.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Trump continues to insult the intelligence of Americans — and those around the world — through his callously disrespecful acts. Placing his name on a building intended to honor those who contribute to society’s art is beyond hideous. JFK honored the arts, along with his wife, Jacqueline. The Kennedy name alone should stand forever on the center that seeks to honor a slain — and beloved — leader of this great nation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I am going to ask something I once thought was unthinkable: Is the White House really immune from this type of PR chicanery?<\/em><\/p>\r\n\n
