Judge Orders Notice for Kennedy Center Changes Amid Trump Dispute
A federal judge has ordered that the Kennedy Center must provide 30 days' notice before making any major changes, including demolition, amid a dispute with former President Donald Trump. Trump had claimed the center could be "ripped down" without his intervention and had threatened to stop repairs over a naming fight, leading to the center's closure. The Kennedy Center stated that "nothing is being demolished" and that the law is on their side, while a congresswoman described Trump as "screaming and hollering" and throwing a "tantrum" during a meeting. A representative for Trump was seen reading a "Kennedy Center DEMOLISHED" poster. The dispute reportedly stems from a naming fight, with one report characterizing the closure as being due to "Trump's ego."
