"Justice Department attorneys say they will file by Friday to lift the injunction blocking the closure. President Trump also says they will seek an expedited appeal over the use of his name.
Until a judge changes the existing order, the board's vote does not give it legal authority to close the Kennedy Center."

The Board of course votes the way King Donald tells them to vote.

As usual.. The plot thickens.
Apparently they didn't vote the way Trumpy wanted but he says they did anyway.

Just add it to Lewzer's long list of failures, he's already ruined it enough. Its history will live on.
Now he can move on to ruining the Lincoln Memorial.

Sickening.
The only list Trump will top is "Most Reviled President In U.S. History"
Election night 2016, I told my wife that's exactly what he'll end up being.
Gotta feeling my prediction will come true.

But if he tries to pull an East Wing. I think that people will lay themselves down in front of the bulldozers.

No, there's something wrong with someone who simply accepts people like Trump because they can't critically think it through to realize the obvious conclusion.

"someone who simply accepts people like Trump"
you don't have clue what that means. That's just a baseless and unexplainable accusation.
You're simply wanting a pass for expressing a desire for your fellow Americans to end their lives. Or just follow them from thread to thread attacking them.
Because..........you're sad and you can't manage things.
There IS something wrong with you.

If Hitler had in fact died in 1944, there would have been a neggotiated end to the war leading to Allied victory.
Million of lives would have been saved. Dresden would have been saved. Lot's of things would be saved.

"Beatty: "I probably wouldn't use that language, but I understand what the person was saying. I think it would be unthinkable for someone to hear a president using the language that he used. he threw a tantrum. it was like an immature child. I wouldn't even want to put this on a child. he was just being " in my opinion being very immature, shouting and calling names. he doesn't really know anything about me, an I looked to the board, and I said, are we really going to do this?' it's very unprofessional.""

Trumpy acts like a weird Futurama/Simpson alien who thinks they will take over humanity but realize humanity cannot be taken over. So he turns to AI but IT takes over and turns him into a butler.

"I think that the Trump administration should certainly have recognition. Because frankly, if we don't do that, it's going to close.

The sad part about it is that he would likely start the razing before he gets any manner of OK, or before the Courts can stop him.
Just as he did with the East Wing of the White House.
Just as seems to be his long-time modus operandi in such matters ... "demolished-first-ask-questions-later."

Replace it with an four story flaming trash bin.
He already ripped out the long established willow trees and neocons are closely tied to demolition experts..
The real performance art is the McConnell animatronic.
What a Temu second-rate face mask. The real McConnell has never thrown the peace sign.
If the Center re-opens under Trump, Musk could hand Elaine an award for "almost realistic actuator manipulation".

It's not about the Kennedy Center. It's about erasing the most popular and impactful political dynasty this country has ever had. It's about erasing public service, civil rights, international relations, social safety nets, and social mores the Kennedy family helped establish so he can replace them with his family of con artists and degenerates who have perverted every one of the values they represent and have helped to build in this country. Because he's a jealous POS.

Navy discusses renaming aircraft carrier after Trump instead of heroic Black sailor Navy leadership is discussing renaming a Navy aircraft carrier after President Donald Trump, according to two U.S. officials. The ship, which is still under construction, has been set to be named the USS Doris Miller in honor of an enlisted sailor who famously staffed an anti-aircraft gun during the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, during World War II despite not having been trained on the weapon. Miller, a mess attendant, grabbed the gun during the attack and is credited with shooting down at least one Japanese plane and dragging wounded U.S. sailors to safety. Miller was the first Black service member to receive the Navy Cross " the Navy's second-highest honor. www.nbcnews.com

Since the ship is still under construction maybe Trump won't be Commander-in-Chief by then.

I was wondering more about USS John F. Kennedy, which is built and undergoing sea trials right now. I'm amazed he has let the name stand.
Don't forget, he hates Kennedy almost as much as he loves himself. JFK was everything Lewzer wishes he was, but isn't. Well, other than being assassinated for real.

I'm am sure there is some of that because Trumpy is a very sick man with an out of control ego but it's also about controlling art and what art is.
Authoritarian leaders and dictators historically co-opt, restructure, or "weaponize" art institutes to control public narratives and eliminate dissenting thought.
Because creative expression inherently fosters imagination, ambiguity, and critical questioning, independent art is viewed as a direct threat to centralized control.

... Ousted board members of the U.S. Institute of Peace are asking a federal court to block the imminent carving of President Donald Trump's name on the headquarters of the nonpartisan institution he sought to dismantle shortly after taking office. Members of the board who were removed by the administration filed an emergency motion Thursday in Washington in a dispute that has echoes of Trump's effort to place his name on the Kennedy Center. The motion was filed as an emergency petition, alleging that a contractor has already been selected to carve Trump's name into the Constitution Avenue headquarters that the administration sought to shutter as part of the Elon Musk-led DOGE effort to shrink the government. ...
