People have been left stunned after making a big prediction about Trump's second stint in the White House.
Trump has caused yet another controversy after announcing that he will rename the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center as the 'The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts'.
The US president has a known fondness for putting his name on things, from Trump Tower in New York to the newly-planned 'Trump Class' battleships, despite large battleships being superseded by aircraft carriers.
But it seems that one person noticed the pattern with Trump putting his own name on stuff and made a gambit that has led to a spectacular trolling of the presidency, predicting exactly what would happen with the 'The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts'.

So what exactly did they do?
Well, the person in question is former South Park writer Toby Morton, who figured that the president would make the decision to rename the center.
So, in anticipation of this, Morton purchased the domain names TrumpKennedyCenter.org and TrumpKennedyCenter.com, and now plans to troll the president with the websites.
Speaking to The Washington Post, Morton said: “As soon as Trump began gutting the Kennedy Center board earlier this year, I thought, ‘Yep, that name’s going on the building.’"
Explaining his thinking behind the stunt, he said: “The Kennedy Center has always been a cultural institution meant to outlast any one administration or personality.
"It’s meant to honor culture, not ego. Once it was treated like personal branding, satire became unavoidable.”
Morton hasn't yet published websites at the domain names, but has promised that when the websites go live, they will 'absolutely reflect the absurdity of the moment. Lots of surprises. Some things are truly hard to parody, though'.
It's far from the first time that Morton has done this though, saying in a post on his Instagram that he has bought up over 100 domain names with the intention of using them against political figures.
Previous websites include itsthef*ckingguns.com (I'm sure you can guess what the missing letter is) which contains scathing arguments for gun control in the US.
He has done the same with momsforliberties.com, which is a parody of the far right group Moms for Liberty, who campaign against the inclusion of information on LGBTQ+ communities and racism in education.
As for exactly what plans the former South Park writer has for his two new websites, only time will tell.
