South Park Writer Outsmarts White House by Snatching 'Trump-Kennedy Center' Domains

While the White House was drawing up blueprints for a rebrand, a comedy writer was already securing the digital real estate. Toby Morton, a writer for the legendary satirical show South Park, has revealed that he bought the domain names for the newly renamed 'Trump-Kennedy Center' months before the official announcement.

A Prediction Four Months in the Making

According to Entertainment Weekly, Morton acquired both 'trumpkennedycenter.org' and '.com' back in August 2025. Morton’s foresight came as he watched the Trump administration begin to reshape the board of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. "As soon as Trump began gutting the board earlier this year, I thought, 'Yep, that name's going on the building,'" Morton told The Washington Post.

Institutional Takeover and Backlash

The renaming follows a dramatic overhaul of the institution's leadership. In February, the administration removed 18 board members appointed by Joe Biden, replacing them with loyalists including Usha Vance and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed the board's vote to rename the center was "unanimous," but that account is being fiercely contested.

Ohio Representative Joyce Beatty, an ex-officio board member, slammed the move on social media, stating she was "muted on the call" and not allowed to voice her opposition. The Kennedy family, including Joe Kennedy III, also condemned the renaming as an attempt to elevate "ego" over cultural heritage. Morton hasn't revealed his plans for the sites yet but teased that they'll reflect the "absurdity of the moment."
