President Trump's Attempted Kennedy Center Takeover Ruled Illegal by Federal Judge

President Trump's Attempted Kennedy Center Takeover Ruled Illegal by Federal Judge

President Trump attempted to take control of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, citing a desire to combat perceived 'woke' culture within the institution. He publicly stated in February 2025, "We don't need woke at the Kennedy Center. So I'll be there until such time as it gets to be running right." This effort was abandoned in May 2026 after a federal judge declared the center was illegally renamed after Trump, effectively ruling his takeover attempt unlawful. The Kennedy Center operates with a hybrid funding model, receiving taxpayer money for building maintenance, operations, security, and repairs, while private donations and ticket sales finance its programming. The institution was originally named the National Cultural Center and was renamed by Congress in 1964 to honor President John F. Kennedy.
