https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trumps-name-may-stay-on-kennedy-center-past-friday-deadline/ar-AA25v3Sb?ocid=BingNewsSerpPresident Donald Trumps name remained affixed to the Kennedy Center on Friday, the deadline a federal judge had set for the letters to be taken down. Prospects are dimming that the status quo will change before this weekend, according to a person with knowledge of the legal fight.
On Thursday evening, the Board of Trustees of the Kennedy Center appealed a ruling that ordered the removal of Trumps name from the centers building and the centers online materials and accounts by Friday. U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper previously ruled that only Congress, not the Board, has the authority to change the centers name. In recent days, Trumps name had been removed from the centers official website, voicemail and YouTube channel.
In the filing, the Kennedy Center said the court should grant a stay of the judges order, because it has strong arguments to raise on appeal, and that removing Trumps name would be both wasteful for the Center and confusing for the public

Confusing to the public? No more so than renaming it in the first place.
Wasteful? Since when does Trump care about wasting tax dollars?! Excuse me while I laugh for a hundred years.
