The Kennedy Center has started to remove any references to Donald Trump following a federal court ruling which mandated the removal of his name from the venue. This decision comes as part of preparations for the upcoming Mark Twain Award ceremony hosted by Bill Maher, which features notable guests such as Louis C.K., Jay Leno, and Stephen A. Smith. As crews begin the process of erasing Trump’s name from signage and documents, locals and tourists share mixed feelings about the changes. The Kennedy Center aims to comply with the court order while still honoring its past in a manner consistent with current legal requirements.
