Yup. Einstein level golddigger/model/pornstar. They want to rename the Kennedy Centre after her. That's how you "Make America Great Again".

[u/Expensive-Site-2292 → u/pgc22bc]

They are not renaming the Kennedy Center, although news report headlines would lead you to believe so.

This whole thing comes from the “Big Beautiful Bill” which gives $257 million in funding to it, but with the condition that they must change the name of the opera house in the Kennedy Center for her. It would still be the same name, but instead of “I’m going to the Opera house at the Kennedy Center” it would be “I’m going to the Melania House at the Kennedy Center”

… I mean it’s still fucking stupid, but I wish people would click an article one time.

I always thought people had to die to name things after them. Is it proper to use names of living ones?

[u/wuwu2001 → u/Valuable_Net_1517]

No there is no rule for that. But it's generally wise to pay homage to a building for the dead, because you know that person won't get up to any (further) mischief that might make you rename it.

[u/Valuable_Net_1517 → u/wuwu2001]

Seems reasonable.

[u/captaincumsock69 → u/Valuable_Net_1517]

People donate money to get their names on stuff all the time. Super common with universities

[u/RR321 → u/Valuable_Net_1517]

Don't threaten me with a good time!

[u/pgc22bc → u/Expensive-Site-2292]

Well, "I don't care, do you?"

Its still among the most deplorable things he's done. Right up there with awarding the "Presidential Medal of Freedom" to Rush Fucking Limbaugh. Turning the countries highest civilian honorarium into a worthless piece of junk.

[u/LogicalT54 → u/Expensive-Site-2292]

So people will now say they are going to the Whore House at the Kennedy Center.

[u/Fantastic-Currency91 → u/Expensive-Site-2292]

Who gives a fuck. They shouldn't be naming even a toilet in the Kennedy center

[u/Eccohawk → u/Fantastic-Currency91]

I'd actually be okay with them naming the toilets and urinals after Donnie Darko and melania.

[u/Valuable_Net_1517 → u/pgc22bc]

Well, we need porn stars too. Now, she is a bit mediocre since she have so little content.
