"Can the Board of the #KennedyCenter — in direct contradiction of the governing statutes rename this sacred memorial to JFK after DJT? The answer is unequivocally 'no.' By renaming the Center in violation of the law Defendants have breached the terms of the trust and their most basic fiduciary obligations as trustees. Shortly after JFKs assassination, Congress designated the Kennedy Center as the 'sole national memorial to the late' President in the nation's capital."

Treasury to put Trump's signature on paper currency in historic move

The Treasury Department plans to print President Donald Trump’s signature on every new U.S. paper bill. Treasury announced the idea Thursday. Treasury says it would mark the first time a sitting president’s signature appears on new currency. The announcement is part of a broader push to put Trump’s name and image on public symbols. Treasury also backs a separate effort for a Trump coin. Earlier this month, a federal arts commission approves a design for a gold commemorative coin with his face.
