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.

The Kennedy Center is a COMPLEX. The Opera House is a piece of that puzzle.

This theater is named after the “Kennedy Center”, not Kennedy...similar to something like the Baltimore airport - it is named after the city of Baltimore, not Lord Baltimore as the city itself is.

The Kennedy Center itself is not being renamed.

He’s not proposing to rename the entire Kennedy Center, just the opera stage within it. There are several theaters of various sizes and uses in the Kennedy Center. But Mr. Naked N. Unemployed needs his clicks.

You gotta give it to leftists - they always have a clever slogan for whatever they need their drones to believe.

I don’t care about this idiot, but the Kennedy Center name should remain.
