When President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump visited the Kennedy Center last month to see “Les Misérables,” part of the crowd booed when the couple stood up.

Jack Schlossberg is advocating for the Kennedy Center to remain a memorial dedicated solely to his grandfather.

On July 22, 2025, Republicans on the Appropriations Committee of the House of Representatives passed an amendment that would rename Kennedy Center to First Lady Melania Trump Opera House.
