Kennedy Center Draft Resolution Warns of Bankruptcy If Trump's Name Is Not Added

A draft resolution circulated to the board of the Kennedy Center warns that the institution faces bankruptcy unless President Trump's name is added to the building, according to a report by The New York Times. The warning arrives as a federal judge weighs whether Trump's name should remain off the structure. The board resolution and the pending judicial decision place the performing arts center's financial future and its naming rights in simultaneous dispute. The Kennedy Center, a federally chartered cultural institution in Washington, D.C., has become the focal point of a legal and political battle over whether the president's name belongs on the building. No final ruling has been issued in the case, and the board has not yet acted on the draft resolution. The outcome could determine both the center's branding and its solvency, with the bankruptcy caution embedded directly in the board document rather than stated publicly by leadership.
