The Center’s website also already reflects the name change—but quibblers might note that the site’s actual domain does not. It remains “kennedy-center.org”. There’s a reason for this: the domains “trumpkennedycenter.org” and “trumpkennedycenter.com” are already taken. They’re owned by comedian and scriptwriter Toby Morton, who has written for South Park and Mad TV. In his downtime, Morton has made a habit of acquiring official-sounding domains for satirical purposes: he already owns around 50 such sites, including nancymace26.com (“I don’t legislate, I litigate grudges”) and mtg2026.org (“Building a whiter tomorrow!”).
Morton told the Washington Post that he has something similar planned for these domains: “[They will] absolutely reflect the absurdity of the moment,” he promised. In a moment of clairvoyance, he purchased them earlier this year after Trump announced that he was firing the Center’s entire board. (“We will soon announce a new Board,” the President wrote on Truth Social at the time, adding that the new board would feature “an amazing Chairman, DONALD J. TRUMP!”)
Trump is so childish, he’s predictable.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
I’m sure that they will treat the domain with the respect it deserves.
this is so awesome.
I have a theory: I think Trump is jealous of Kennedy for being more famous than him for having been assassinated by a lone gunman. Just look at how happy he looked when a kid clipped his earlobe with a poorly-placed bullet, and how disappointed he was that nobody took it more seriously than a clipped earlobe.
If he dreams of being a dead Kennedy, I’m sure a lot of people would like to grant him his wish. Hell, I’d even been okay to let hundreds of places be renamed after Trump if he’s finally dead and out of the picture.
No we already have too much shit named after Robert E. Lee

Things like The Donald J. Trump Municipal Septic Pond.
That’s cool, but do people still type in .com domains?
What do you mean? .com is not a hard coded default. If you don’t put a .com, it won’t bring you anywhere.
I think they mean: don’t people just Google the site they want, who actually types out a complete url anymore?
People who know malware sites that look legit prey upon people that google search for a website.
What I had to observe so far they type the whole domain… into Google search
Only if you want to go to a website.
Of course we do. It takes you directly to the site without going through a search engine.
?
People who want to go to a website and not get tricked into downloading malware becauae they searched for a website instead
Until you get malware because you typo googlr.com
googlr.com is safer than google.com in many ways.
But that’s how you download the newest Firefex!
I’m more keen on OprahFX, myself!
I’m confused, like do you mean you web search every website you regularly use or do you mean you let your browser auto complete the URL?
