No, Trump's name hasn't been removed from the Kennedy Center

No, Trump's name hasn't been removed from the Kennedy Center

Title: Fact Check: Trump’s Name Remains on the Kennedy Center

A viral video depicting President Donald Trump’s name being torn from the facade of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is not authentic. The footage, which has accumulated millions of views online, was created using artificial intelligence.

The name was controversially installed on the building by the institution’s board late last year. Despite a recent federal court ruling declaring the addition illegal, the president’s name remains affixed to the structure. Jake Horton details how the misleading clip was produced.

Produced by Meiying Wu, with graphics by Mark Edwards.
