South Park’ Writer Launches Satirical TrumpKennedyCenter.org After Beating Rebrand to Web Domains

The parody site spotlights the contested renaming, reflecting a growing cultural backlash at the Washington arts venue.

Overview

  • Toby Morton said he bought TrumpKennedyCenter.org and TrumpKennedyCenter.com in August after predicting the name change.
  • He activated the site on Sunday with a mocking logo and messages that lampoon the president’s push to brand the institution.
  • The launch follows a board vote earlier this month to rename the Kennedy Center the Trump Kennedy Center.
  • Fallout has included canceled appearances such as Hamilton’s planned run and jazz musician Chuck Redd’s Christmas Eve show.
  • Kennedy Center president Richard Grenell is reportedly seeking $1 million from Redd, and Morton says he has not been asked by the White House to sell the domains.
