Former President Donald Trump expressed his anger on his Truth Social platform after U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper blocked his renovation plans for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Trump labeled Cooper as 'an anti-Trump Hater' and claimed that the center would 'soon be closed, probably never to open again.' The ruling, which also mandated the removal of Trump's name from the venue, criticized the center's board for making decisions without proper legal justification. Trump indicated he might relinquish control of the center to Congress, stating that the board, not him, added his name to the center. He argued that the Kennedy Center was in poor condition and that the renovations would have greatly improved it. Cooper's decision halts the planned two-year renovation project, which was scheduled to start in July, and reflects ongoing legal challenges Trump faces.
