Donald Trump denied reports that White House officials were considering adding his name to Ford’s Theatre, where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. MS NOW, citing anonymous sources, reported staffers had circulated a list of federal sites that might bear his name.
On Truth Social, Trump called the report a “ridiculous lie” and asked who would want their name on “such a tragic place.” He also accused Democrats of making up the story to discredit him.
Since returning to office, Trump has pushed to add his name to the Kennedy Center and the U.S. Institute of Peace. Ford’s Theatre is owned by the Interior Department and remains open as a theater and museum.
