Boy, oh, boy. Does Donald Trump know how to troll leftists or WHAT?
When he renamed the Gulf of America, they had a conniption.
When he privately funded a project to renovate the White House, they went into apoplectic fits of rage.
And this week, welp, what can we say? He's gone and done it again.
As part of their renovation of the Washington, DC, theater that they saved from falling into decrepitude, the Trump administration has given it a wonderful new name: The Trump-Kennedy Center.
And, whoa Nellie! It didn't take long for the hysterical hissy fits to hit Twitter like a cry-nami. Here is one of our favorites:
Any time something happens they disagree with, they scream about a democracy that does not exist.

If putting a name on a building ends our democracy then it's not much of a democracy.
What an exhaustingly stupid group. pic.twitter.com/TzjQWhdFzJ
Democracy died? LOL. Calm down, ma'am.
We're laughing, but we also recognize that America has a SERIOUS mental health problem, and almost all of it resides with 'Blue No Matter Who' voters.
Of course, there is some debate, even on the right, whether Trump can do this, but it almost doesn't matter. The website has been updated. It even crashed this afternoon because of all of the traffic to go see the new masthead. And, like the Gulf of America, 'Trump-Kennedy Center' is already entering the cultural lexicon, despite loony leftists promising they would never call it that.
They said the same thing about Reagan Airport many years ago. But today, no one calls it anything else.
There are too many hysterical meltdowns from the left to include them all here, but this afternoon, Maria Shriver, who is a Kennedy after all, went on Twitter to post an unhinged, whining screed.
The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie… pic.twitter.com/wcGjTp2uqa

... amplified the arts, celebrated the arts, stood up for the arts and artists.
It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not.
Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport, rename the Lincoln Memorial, the Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Jefferson Memorial. The Trump Smithsonian. The list goes on.
Can we not see what is happening here? C’mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny. This is way beneath the stature of the job. It’s downright weird. It’s obsessive in a weird way. Just when you think somone can’t stoop any lower, down they go…
Did she really just say that putting a name on a theater is not 'dignified' and it's 'obsessive'? Umm, did she not read her own post?
We also love how, whenever Trump does something, leftists cannot help but extrapolate that out into nightmare scenarios they make up in their own heads.
Though we must admit that we do like the sound of 'Trump Smithsonian.'
Many on Twitter were happy to give Shriver an education about what is 'dignified,' particularly Board of Trustees president Ric Grenell.
The place was literally falling apart and you didn’t help - at all.

Where you been, Maria? You were completely silent while the building crumbled.
Donald Trump had to step in and save it because you didn’t help.
You should thank him. https://t.co/ngBPNkrf4w
Where were all of the Kennedys who revere JFK when the building was in terrible shape? Why didn't they care about dignity then?
Your husband knocked up the maid.

Ahem.
Also, not very dignified.
Then again, the left had no problem when Doug Emhoff did that either, so maybe they're into that sort of thing.

Pretty hilarious that she talked about dignity while posting that horrifically ugly bust of her uncle.
I think it was a bigger insult to JFK that they made made a bust of him out of poop, but maybe that’s just me https://t.co/Fvj49ShTCw

Eew.
Also, LOL.
Then who was this guy, Maria? https://t.co/LIYgXK9xrq pic.twitter.com/LIDZ1Q6J32

HA.
Hilarious essay. The student deserved at least a B, not an F.
But it does illustrate that there is a weird mythology of reverence around JFK that he probably doesn't deserve. The name Kennedy is not some hallowed, holy relic.
How DARE a venue take on the name of a president that has traditionally…been…named after
— Brad Slager: CNN+ Lifetime Subscriber (@MartiniShark) December 19, 2025
a president!!! https://t.co/p1TxtSMvix
And Trump didn't even remove the Kennedy name, in any case.
JFK would never be a Democrat today. https://t.co/02kyTPqhbs
— Dan Curry (@dancurry) December 19, 2025
This is also true.
The only Kennedy living up to JFK's ideology right now is RFK, Jr. And the rest of his family hates him for it.
JFK would be ashamed of you. pic.twitter.com/XhFhKuIqdv

you really don't stand for one thing you uncle fought for...you are the radical far left propaganda machine...thank goodness for Bobby showing sanity in a family of hate

Wow. Very well said.
Public institutions don’t belong to political families. Get over it.
— TMK (@TheMagaKing2_0) December 18, 2025
Especially absentee political families who never cared about said institution.
Still, we can't get over that horrid sculpture that Shriver posted while melting down about 'dignity.'
The outrage while using a photo of this pile of manure pretending to be a sculpture is pretty funny.https://t.co/V8YNCdbIl4

Oooh, now we want a gyro.
I’ve always wondered how many Frosted Flakes it took to make this sculpture https://t.co/WU01lyDixS pic.twitter.com/pHrpML4wZf

HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA.
We can only hope that part of the renovations for the Trump-Kennedy Center (get used to it, leftists; it's not going away) include a new sculpture that is not an insult to Maria Shriver's beloved uncle.
Maybe the new one can be Trump and JFK high-fiving each other.
That would REALLY send the left into their biggest rage eruption yet.
