"Yep, that name’s going on the building": A "South Park" writer purchased Trump-Kennedy Center website domains months ago
- A South Park writer quietly bought Trump-Kennedy Center domains months before the name change vote.
- Morton registered trumpkennedycenter.org and trumpkennedycenter.com in August, well before public notice.
- Morton said the sites are satirical and meant to look legitimate at first glance.
- The Kennedy Center board voted in December to rename the building to honor Trump and Kennedy.
- Morton had no reported contact from Trump associates about the domains.
- Morton runs about 50 satirical sites and plans direction for the future site.
- Morton’s move is described as a rebellion against the board’s decision.
- The domains currently redirect to a generic landing page.
- The piece was reported by Anna Good for the Daily Dot.
- The article frames the purchase as satire amid discussions of Trump’s branding influence.
