Trump skirts law with his shameless self-promotion schemes
President Donald Trump's self-promotion efforts, including renaming the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the U.S. Institute of Peace, were ruled legally problematic by a federal judge. The judge determined that congressional approval was required for such name changes, which Trump's appointees bypassed. Trump expressed frustration over the ruling, calling the judge's decision an attack on his vanity.
