'The View' Stars Slam 'Jerk' Donald Trump for Adding His Name to the Kennedy Center: 'It's Very Dictator-Like'

Every one of the ladies on The View was outraged by President Donald Trump adding his name to the Kennedy Center.

Donald Trump Renaming the Kennedy Center Is 'Illegal'

"Well, I think it's illegal," Sunny Hostin stated, to which the actress laughed in response and asked, "So what?""It's illegal, federal law designated the Kennedy Center as a national memorial and you can't change the name of a national memorial without Congress," Hostin continued."You're not supposed to," Goldberg acknowledged. "I'm gonna put my name up on there. John F. Kennedy memorial... and Whoopi, too!"



Source: @theview/xSara Haines noted the next president can remove Trump's name from the title.

"I'm starting to blame the Supreme Court, because the Supreme Court said he could do whatever he wants to do and he took them seriously," the former prosecutor added."A name that's not congressionally approved can just be knocked off with the next administration," Sara Haines said with a chuckle.

When her costars questioned if doing that would look "petty," Haines replied, "No, it looks petty to put your name in front of Kennedy! At least when Whoopi did, she put it at the very end of the sentence. Have some humility!"
