More Americans think the moon landing was fake than those who believe it’s OK for President Donald Trump to slap his name on federal buildings, according to a recent poll.

Only 9 percent of Americans said it would be acceptable to name government buildings after Trump while he is serving as president, according to a Pew Research Center poll released last month.

CNN Chief Data Analyst Harry Enten pointed out Monday that the number of Americans who think Trump should be allowed to have his name on buildings while sitting in the Oval Office is less than the number of Americans who believe in the baseless conspiracy theory that the Apollo 11 moon landing was a hoax.

“Americans who believe it’s OK right now to name government buildings for Trump, just 9 percent,” Enten said.

“To put that into some perspective, 10 percent of Americans believe that the earth is flat, and 12 percent of Americans think that the moon landing was faked, which of course it was not, and of course, the earth is actually round,” the data guru said.

Trump’s name has been added to several buildings during his second term, probably most notably the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.

Former President Lyndon B. Johnson signed a law passed by Congress designating the center as a living memorial to Kennedy in January 1964, two months after he was assassinated.

Trump’s handpicked board of trustees for the center, which made him its chairman, made the change to the building’s exterior in December 2025.

But the name of the building cannot officially be changed without a decision from Congress, something a federal judge pointed out in a recent order demanding that Trump’s name be removed from the building within two weeks and temporarily blocking the president’s planned renovations, which would shut down the center for two years.

“The Kennedy Center’s organic statute makes crystal clear that the Center is to be named for President Kennedy, and it cannot bear any other formal name or public memorial based on the Board’s unilateral say-so,” U.S. District Court Judge Christopher Cooper ruled on Friday. “Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it.”

Trump raged against Cooper, who was appointed by Democratic former President Barack Obama, writing in a lengthy Truth Social post Saturday, “our Court System is RIGGED.” The Kennedy Center has indicated that it will appeal the ruling.

The president has boasted about his passion projects around Washington, including a costly White House ballroom, and has planned for a UFC fight on the South Lawn about two weeks from now to celebrate America’s 250th birthday, which also falls on Trump’s 80th birthday.

Meanwhile, Americans are struggling to pay for the rising cost of living, including covering everyday expenses such as gas and groceries.

A majority of voters, 68 percent, think Trump is not focused enough on addressing the problems they are facing, while just 29 percent think he is, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released last month.
