Trump furiously demands judge who blocked renovation project be criminally charged

Source: raw story


Alexander Willis May 30, 2026 11:41AM ET


President Donald Trump erupted Saturday in a 720-plus-word social media post over a judge’s ruling ordering him to remove his name from the Kennedy Center and halt a renovation project, a rant that culminated with the president demanding the judge be criminally charged.

U.S. District Judge Casey Cooper recently ruled that Trump’s Kennedy Center renovations were unlawful, citing Congress’ authority to rename the iconic performing arts center. In his lengthy social media post, Trump attacked Cooper’s wife – Amy Jeffress, former Justice Department prosecutor under the Clinton administration and former President Joe Biden’s personal attorney – as a “radical left Democrat,” and accused Cooper of having a “conflict of interest” for not "revealing" his wife’s work history.

“Amy is totally wired into the Left System, from her husband down, and it is impossible for me to be treated fairly,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “He has a total Conflict of Interest, and should be brought up on charges for not revealing these facts. That is why The Kennedy Center will soon be closed, probably never to open again.”


Trump’s outburst follows a similar statement he published on Friday, where he aggressively attacked Cooper as being a judge “appointed by Barack Hussein Obama.”.......

IOKIYAR. It's NOT okay if you're a "radical left democrat" (as all democrats MUST be by his definition). One thing is for sure, tho... he IS turning me into a radical leftist! I was always okay with working through the system, until he came along. Sure, I detested the one step forward, two steps backwards that always seemed to accompany anything that was really good for the People, themselves... but not necessarily whoopee-de-do for the billionaires. But I don't consider marching and protesting to be radical leftist activity. RADICAL activity is assaulting the People's House... and smearing feces all over the walls, floors, and desks... as well as damaging historical, meaningful objects and looking to harm or kill any people they could lay their hands on.

Trump and I have very different definitions of "radical"... that's for sure! (LOL)

courts are almost always the ONE thing preventing him from getting away with it. The fact that this project (among countless others) was already carried out just because he said so--with authority he doesn't have and never had--and now needs to be removed is a joke. Talk about a broken system.

with Trump's way of thinking.

Independent Judiciary are a danger to Trump, and he just has to react.

So the 5 year old Trump toddler throws a hissy fit.

The one institution that might hold him accountable can't be allowed to stand, of course. Thank goodness some of our judiciary take their jobs very seriously, and are intent in upholding the constitution. More power to them... and I thank them for the dangerous risk they take in simply doing their jobs.

Justice matters.
