Trump says 'no interest' in Kennedy Center overhaul after judge orders his name removed

https://abcnews.com/Politics/federal-judge-orders-trumps-removed-kennedy-center/story?id=133430502

President Donald Trump says he has "no interest" in continuing his overhaul of the Kennedy Center after a federal judge ruled he couldn't rename the Washington, D.C., performing arts venue or close its doors for lengthy renovations unless Congress approves the plans.

In a social media post Friday evening responding the judge's ruling, Trump said that he wants to turn decision-making about the future of the center over to Congress.

"Unless I am free to do what I do better than anyone else, bring this Institution back, physically, financially, and artistically, I have no interest in continuing what could only be a hopeless journey into "NEVER NEVER LAND," Trump said in the post.

"Therefore, based on the fact that the Radical Left Democrats care more about opposing your favorite President, ME, than saving a dying Performing Arts Center, almost all of which lose large amounts of money throughout the Country, we are going to be working with Congress to transfer this failing Institution back to them so they can make a determination as to what to do with it," Trump said in the post.

1. GOOD. Goes away mad, just as long as he goes away. I have tools, I can be there in two days.

[underpants]

28. Exactly. No one asked you or wanted you. GTFU.

[ProfessorGAC]

2. Whiny Baby

[tanyev]

3. We'll see. He still hasn't given up on Greenland.

Someone whose core essence is vindictiveness does not accept losing. He might retreat for a bit until he or one of his toadies thinks of a new way to launch an assault.

[gulliver]

4. It's more (successful) trolling

He just used the whole thing to get an easy media subject to mine for publicity. Dems should be focusing on core issues and winning midterms.

[Norrrm]

5. Trump not interested in helping the country... Only interested in enriching and glorifying himself.

[GoCubsGo]

6. So, no marble arm rests?

Too bad. So sad.

That being said, Congress needs to put some armed guards outside of the building. Knowing that petty, vindictive sack of shit, I wouldn't put it past him to try to tear it down out of spite.

[durablend]

8. Or he'll burn it down

[Shipwack]

20. Knowing him, I almost half expect that.

Or suddenly tear it down, citing “safety concerns”.

[lpbk2713]

7. So that clearly says ...

he would have done it for his own enrichment and not for the people's.

[pat_k]

9. Transfer "back to them"?

When precisely does he think he took control away from Congress??

The man is f-ing insane

The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts was originally established by Congress in 1958 as the National Cultural Center when President Eisenhower signed bipartisan legislation.

Following President Kennedy's assassination in 1963, Congress passed legislation renaming it in his honor as a "living memorial", which was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on January 23, 1964.

Adding his name was a cultural crime and another of his endless attempts to usurp congressional power.

How nice that now that the court ordered him to take his grubby fingers off he'll cede power "back to" Congress.

How magnanimous of you Mr. Felon-in-Chief.

[PatSeg]

11. My reaction as well

It was never transferred to him in the first place, except maybe in his pathetic dreams.

[Boomerproud]

25. The Repubs in Congress are to blame for letting it go this far.

Pure negligence, on purpose.

[PatSeg]

30. That's true

Our government was designed to prevent this from happening, but no one allowed for so many cowards at one time.

[Bluetus]

10. Even if Trump was the best person to head a Kennedy Center revival

that ain't his job.

Of all the things the President should be doing, this doesn't make the top 500 list.

Nor does a ballroom

[PatSeg]

12. Or reflecting ponds and his Triumphal Arch

He thinks he is king and that this is the sort of thing he believes kings do.

[Bluetus]

29. Just out of curiosity, I wonder when the last time was

Last edited Sat May 30, 2026, 08:37 PM - Edit history (1)

when a king erected a grand monument to himself?

There are obviously the pyramids, but that was 4000 years ago.

There was the Great Wall, but that spanned many leaders and was actually used for defense. That was about 3000 years ago.

There is Mt. Rushmore, but those Presidents were all dead.

There are many streets and an airport named after Reagan, but most of that happened after he died, and all of those were public works, not monuments.

Saddam Hussein built a royal palace for himself.

Emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal in memory of his wife.

[PatSeg]

31. I think he falls more into the category

of dictators like Saddam Hussein or even Putin. Most tyrannical dictators build gaudy monuments to themselves. I think they believe that will give them some kind of immortality. Obviously Trump's understanding of history is very limited.

[Bluetus]

36. Don't they realize

that once they are gone, the people can't want to tear those things down and burn them to the ground?

We need to have a Kickstarter campaign to get pledges for demolition funds for each one of Trump's monuments. He needs to know that the minute he is gone, the bulldozers are coming.

[GenThePerservering]

13. He ran it into the gutter

and now he's running away, crying.

[fierywoman]

17. "Everything Trump touches ..."

[Xolodno]

14. Don't go away mad....

...JUST GO AWAY!

[C_U_L8R]

15. President Trelane needs to go back to Planet Gothos.

[FloridaBlues]

16. He just had to ruin it first.

[Grim Chieftain]

18. Doesn't he realize he's a worldwide laughing stock?

Silly question, of course not. He's a total fool and an embarrassment. I resent every breath he takes.

[Miles Archer]

27. It's part of his pathology, like his "moron dance."

(Trump "dances" like a moron to "YMCA" )

PUBLIC: "He looks like a moron"

TRUMP: "Guess I'd better dance some more."

He has a real fascination with people who loathe him. He's pulled out that tired "Your favorite president, ME" crap at least twice in the last 24 hours. I guess in his diseased mind, he feels that any reaction shows he's getting through to people. He doesn't care how. He just wants a reaction, ANY reaction.

[PatSeg]

32. True

The worst thing that people could do to him is ignore him. He needs to be the center of attention all the time.

[malaise]

19. Unless I am free to do what I do better than anyone else

What is fuck everything up for 1776 billion

[chowder66]

21. Good, but it doesn't make sense. He doesn't have his name on/in the reflecting pool and is changing it.

[Aristus]

22. Like the wolf in the fable that couldn't climb high enough on the vine to reach the grapes.

Giving up, he loped away muttering that the grapes were probably sour anyway...

Here endeth the lesson...

[paleotn]

23. "Physically, financially and artistically"? A man who's middle name is tacky?

A man who bankrupted casinos? Yeah, Hitler thought he was an expert in those things too. And military strategy. Lucky for the world, he royally sucked at that last one. And all the rest.

[twodogsbarking]

24. Was Trump in Dallas on Nov 22, 1963? I am curious.

[no_hypocrisy]

26. Say, "Sour Grapes . . . . . "

33. Trump is the screaming toddler you see in Target who wants a new toy.

And then the parents cave in and buy it for them, only further enabling that behavior. :crazyl

[Initech]

34. We used to have nice things in this country before the fuckhead got elected.

And inexplicably elected again. This Kennedy Center bullshit should have never been a thing to begin with.

35. The ketchup alert status has been raised to KETCHCON 1!
