The contractor is already set to begin work, but the plaintiffs have asked the acting president to halt it while legal battles continue. This follows Trump’s earlier attempt to shut down the institute and his December installation of the name as a bolted-on fixture above the institute’s own signage — a gesture echoing his controversial threats against the Kennedy Center. The case hinges on whether adding Trump’s name undermines the institution’s core mission and legacy since its founding in 1984.
