Former President Bill Clinton on Tuesday scolded President Donald Trump for battling to rename the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts after himself, urging the White House to focus instead on more pressing issues. 

Clinton made the comments during a speech at the opening of the annual Clinton Global Initiative meeting in New York. The renaming saga has been going on for months, with Trump recently appearing to muse about demolishing the Kennedy Center altogether instead of spending congressional funds to renovate it, after several court decisions barred him from renaming the revered cultural institution in Washington, D.C.
