Snopes

Snopes reports that scaffolding was erected on June 12, 2026, to remove Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Center after a 2026 judicial ruling found the 2025 renaming illegal. A double rainbow appeared over the site that day, and the letters were taken down the following day due to weather. All factual claims originate from left-center sources.
