Kimmel Trolls Trump With Brutal New Name for Kennedy Center

The Daily Beast/YouTube/Reuters Jimmy Kimmel has suggested a new name for the Kennedy Center as it remains the object of Donald Trump’s obsession.

The 80-year-old president has insisted on a Trump-themed overhaul of the historic center since returning to office in 2025.

From the onset of his second inauguration, Trump began exerting control over the arts center, naming himself chairman and adding his name to the building.

More than a year later, a U.S.

District Judge ordered Trump’s name to be removed from the structure, causing the president to have several meltdowns .

On Tuesday, the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees voted to shutter the main building’s doors for two years to complete renovations, a decision Trump announced on Truth Social .

Trump’s main gripe is that his name is no longer plastered across a building that hosts some of the nation’s most significant events and honors.

“Yesterday, Trump’s handpicked board at the Kennedy Center voted to close for renovations, moments after a judge ruled they cannot add Trump’s name to the building without approval from Congress,” began Kimmel on Wednesday night.

“So now the big baby says if the Supreme Court doesn’t overturn that ruling and put his name on the wall next to Kennedy’s, there will be no renovations at all,” he continued.

Kimmel then offered a suggestion to the administration.

“He’s holding the building hostage,” he said.

“They really should call it the Melania Trump Kennedy Center.” The late-night host and longtime Trump nemesis frequently quips about the first lady –and the apparent lack of warmth between her and her husband.

“She must really hate him,” he said in April, after Melania gave an unexpected, suspiciously timed speech about her ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

“He spent the past six weeks trying to bomb this Epstein story out of the headlines.
