A Republican modification on a spending invoice for fiscal 12 months 2026 would rename the Opera Home, the second-largest venue within the Kennedy Heart, because the “First Girl Melania Trump Opera Home,” Punchbowl reviews.
The GOP-led Home Appropriations Committee unveiled the spending invoice on July 14th with the modification being reported on July twenty second. The language states “That the Opera Home situated within the John F. Kennedy Heart for the Performing Arts shall be recognized and designated because the ‘First Girl Melania Trump Opera Home.’”
No phrase but on whether or not opera glasses might be banned in favor of the official Melania squint.
The Kennedy Heart is funded by the Inside, and all through its second time period the Trump administration has abused the Washington DC arts basis as a form of stand-in for artsy liberals all over the place. A February Trump takeover led to resignations, which had been adopted by additional firings and the cancelation of over 20 exhibits. When President Donald Trump and Melania attended a Kennedy Heart occasion in June, the solid of Les Misérables boycotted the First Couple’s look, whereas the viewers and drag queens greeted them with boos.
