[US House Republicans propose to rename the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as the "Trump Center for the Performing Arts" and "Make Entertainment Great Again"] According to reports from The Hill and The Daily Beast on the 28th local time, US House Republicans recently proposed a bill to rename the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington as the "Trump Center for the Performing Arts." The bill was proposed by Missouri Republican Congressman Bob Under. It is worth mentioning that just before that, the House Appropriations Committee had just passed a bill proposed by Republicans on the 22nd, proposing to name the opera house at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts after US First Lady Melania Trump, but the proposal was explicitly opposed by House Democrats. According to reports, Under named his bill the "Make Entertainment Great Again" Act, a parody of Trump's 2016 campaign slogan "Make America Great Again." In his statement, he said, "President Trump's love and mastery of entertainment have stood the test of time and have attracted the attention of Americans for decades." The Hill mentioned that the opera house amendment has aroused strong opposition from critics including Kennedy's grandson Jack Schlossberg.
