JFK grandson rips move to name Kennedy Center theater after Melania Trump: This administration ‘stands for freedom of oppression’
The Hill ^ | 7/23/2025 | Judy Ku

Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of former President John F. Kennedy, is blasting a measure from House Republicans that would rename the Kennedy Center’s famed Opera House in honor of Melania Trump.

“A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces — but also by the men it honors, the men it remembers,” Schlossberg, quoting his grandfather, wrote in a Tuesday post on Instagram.

“JFK believed the arts made our country great and could be our most effective weapon in the fight for civil rights and against authoritarian governments around the world,” Schlossberg, a vocal critic of President Trump, said.

“The Trump administration stands for freedom of oppression, not expression,” he added.

“[Trump] uses his awesome powers to suppress free expression and instill fear,” the 32-year-old son of former U.S. ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg said.

It’s a low IQ family, with just a few exceptions.

Melania Trump’s name will only be on the Opera Center.

If that’s really true, it’s a dumb move. Nothing government-related should be named after a living person. That’s the stuff of monarchies.

We should be cautious in taking seriously any statement made by a mentally challenged person.

A grown man acting like he’s twelve. All too common.

This is a BIG part of what’s wrong with this country.

As far as I can tell, it wasn’t DJT’s idea, it was congressman Simpson’s idea, he snuck it into the Dept of Interior appropriations bill, and it doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in Miami to get out of the committee, much less outside of the House, much less through the Senate. It’ll be down the memory hole by August 1, if not sooner.

“Ick!??”
My Gaydar spun out of its stand and flew through the second floor, attic and roof! I found the device on a neighbor’s lawn.
Now I will be busy repairing the damage.
I’ll also have just finished working on “unseeing” that prancing fairy’s image.
YUCK...

“ A Republican-backed amendment to a spending bill for the U.S. Department of the Interior proposes renaming the Kennedy Center Opera House after First Lady Melania Trump to the “First Lady Melania Trump Opera House”. The House Appropriations Committee passed this amendment in a 33-25 vote on July 22, 2025, but it still requires approval from the full House and Senate to become law”

It is a ridiculous idea. Of course people think it’s trumps idea. If it was and it wasn’t but if it was trumps idea it would have been to bring attention to renaming everything

And this Kennedy guy. Schlossberg who can’t string a sentence together to format an headline needs to start with the Triboro Bridge

It’s the Triboro

Everyone needs to stop re naming everything.

Melania Trump Opera House was renamed as part of the Big Beautiful Bill.
