US President Donald Trump has refuted the MS NOW report. The report said that government officials proposed adding his name to the Ford Theater. It was in this theater that President Lincoln was shot dead by assassins in 1865. Trump posted on a real social networking platform: “Claims that the White House or I myself wanted to add my name to the Ford Theater where Lincoln was assassinated in Washington, D.C., are ridiculous lies. This is fake news!” According to the report, it is unclear how much the officials are considering the name change, and it is also unclear how the relevant process will proceed. According to the theater's official website, the federal government bought the building in 1866. It was used as an office building, storing government archives, and later converted into a museum to commemorate Lincoln. In 1968, the restored theatre welcomed its first performance after Lincoln's assassination.
