Kennedy Center Cancels Christmas Concert Over Trump Name Controversy
TL;DR Summary
The Kennedy Center criticized musician Chuck Redd for canceling his Christmas Eve performance after the White House announced that President Trump's name would be added to the building, with the venue's president calling the cancellation a costly political stunt and seeking damages. The renaming, approved by a Trump-appointed board, violates laws that prohibit turning the center into a memorial for anyone other than President Kennedy, and there are calls to remove Trump's name after he leaves office.
