Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, May 29, 2026

A federal judge on Friday blocked the Kennedy Center from temporarily closing its doors for a yearslong renovation and said its board violated the law when it added President Donald Trump's name to the historic performing arts venue. US District Judge Casey Cooper concluded that the law establishing the center "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."

"Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it," Cooper wrote in his 94-page opinion.

Ah... just one more reason Trump Hates Judges!

They always bring up this, 'Law' stuff. It's like SO ----!

The whole Crime Family hates it... well, Jared sort of enjoys it, according to BJ.

What a petulant baby. Trump will not have the government pay for renovations if he does not get to have his name on it.

In another opinion, the judge said that "Trump-Epstein Files" is just fine.

If he no longer wants anything to do with it, will he be stepping down as self-appointed Chairman of the Bored of Trustees?

He'd rather blow it up.

That's a very real possibility.

The ruling is kind of interesting. It gives them 14 days to get Lewzer's name off the facade and all other signage and materials. Pointed out that it took just a day to put it up after the board renamed it.

It also asks why the site figures prominently in the 250th celebrations if it is such a hazard to the public that it needs to be closed for 2 years.

It also says the board can't decide that certain trustees don't get to vote on Center matters, what with them having been appointed by Congress.

It was speculated from the start that Trump would find a way to simply raze the Kennedy Center.

Trump's mental reaction to his name being dropped is going to be dark and squirming.

Oh....Why would Trump want to raze the Trump/ Kennedy Center?

So that the new structure would simply be the Trump Center.
