BREAKING: HELL YES! A federal judge orders the removal of Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Center and halts his shutdown of the beloved center.
This is an astonishing defeat for MAGA...
U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper has given the Trump administration just 14 days to remove every single sign at the center bearing Trump's name and to delete all references to a "Trump Kennedy Center" in official materials for the center.
Cooper's ruling is a permanent injunction which asserts that the centers board of trustees which is stocked with Donald's MAGA cronies may not proceed with its plans to close the institution for two years. The bizarre closure was originally announced after a string of prominent artists canceled performances in response to Trumps takeover of the center. Ticket sales were also struggling.
The judge explicitly stated that all signage is barred from indicating that the building is named for any person other than President John F. Kennedy.
Cooper slammed the board for using an insufficient, one-sided presentation of information when it moved to close the center. Meanwhile, federal law makes crystal clear that the center is named after Kennedy, an actual President.
This court defeat is a major black eye for Trump because unlike the Iran War or the skyrocketing price of groceries, its something he actually cares about.
As it becomes increasingly clear that he will go down as the worst President in American history, a leader who failed his people, future generations, and basic morality, Trump has been scrambling to carve out some kind of legacy for himself. Its the same warped pathology that has him fixated on his ballroom, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, his Triumph Arch, and slapping his face on $250.
Please ❤️ and share to thank the judge!
