Donald Trump Labeled 'Small Minded' Over Kennedy Center Drama
Shriver said Trump is holding renovations hostage to get his name on the center, as a judge blocked the inscription and Congress controls any renaming.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump's board closed The Kennedy Center for 'safety reasons' after a federal judge blocked plans to add his name to the building.
- District Court Judge Christopher Cooper blocked an inscription stating the site was 'renovated and restored by Donald J. Trump,' ruling the center must honor President Kennedy alone without Congress's approval.
- Maria Shriver criticized the president on Tuesday for linking renovations to his name, writing, 'That a sitting president would not let any renovations to a public building go on unless he gets to first put his name in the said building.'
- Kerry Kennedy called the board's decision a 'tragedy,' while fencing installed around The Kennedy Center on Wednesday sparked concerns despite Congress allocating over $250 million for renovations last year.
- Trump stated if the Supreme Court does not overturn the ruling, the 'Reconstruction and the Renovation of The Kennedy Center will not take place,' as the administration insists these updates are essential.
