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.

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.

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.

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