Trump Attacks Judge's Wife, Proposes Rally After Kennedy Center Ruling Removes His Name

After federal Judge Christopher Cooper ruled that the Kennedy Center board acted unlawfully when it added Trump's name to the building and ordered its removal, President Trump posted a lengthy 581-word screed on Truth Social. He attacked the judge personally, specifically targeting the judge's wife for her connections to Joe Biden and the January 6 committee. Trump announced he would abandon the Kennedy Center renovation project and instead hold an 'America Is Back' rally on the National Mall to replace a concert series after performers backed out. He called the artists 'overpriced' and 'boring,' demonstrating his pattern of retaliating against institutions and individuals who challenge his authority.
