President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to mock former president Barack Obama after a district court asked him to remove his name from the Kennedy Center.
The image shared by Trump showed a large trash can with the text “The Obama Presidential Library,” seemingly taking a swipe at the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, a museum he has been a vocal critic of.
A federal judge determined yesterday that the White House lacks the authority to close the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and mandated that Trump’s name be stripped from the building’s façade within a two-week timeframe. It comes as Trump’s ‘most beautiful’ aide is trolled as the president is accused of wearing a diaper.
The judge noted that using Trump’s name was a violation “of Congress’s express statutory direction” and instructed the removal of the president’s name from “the façade of the Center, any other physical or digital signage, and official materials.”
Just hours after the ruling that barred Trump from using his name on the Kennedy Center, he unleashed a fiery rant in which he claimed had been deteriorating for years before he stepped in.
“Judge Cooper ruled that the 36 Member Board of Trustees, which unanimously voted to add the name ‘TRUMP‘ onto the former Kennedy Center, making it The Trump Kennedy Center, did not have the right to do such an addition, and the name, ‘TRUMP,’ must be removed,” Trump wrote on Friday evening.
“The Kennedy Center has lost, over the years, prior to our getting involved a short while ago, Hundreds of Millions of Dollars — In some cases, including ridiculous construction jobs that were done, over 100 Million Dollars a year. I took great pride in taking over a losing Institution, and looked forward to making it into a Great and Prestigious WINNER for Washington, D.C., and indeed, the United States of America.”
“Unfortunately, Judge Cooper and the Radical Left would rather see it DIE than have President Trump transform it into something that everyone could be proud of, much as I have done, in many cases, throughout my life, and recently, with all of the construction, renovations, and “fix ups” that we have completed with the Department of Interior on Waterfalls, Fountains, Monuments, and other things of Beauty that we have brought back to life in a now SAFE AND SECURE, after Record Setting Crime, Washington, D.C., which is thriving like, perhaps, never before!”

Trump concluded the lengthy rant, writing, “There has never been a President of the United States who has been treated so unfairly by the Courts as I but, that’s OK, I will continue to do, what is considered to be, a great job for the wonderful people of our Country.”
Maria Shriver, the niece of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy responded to the ruling as well, calling it an “appropriate birthday present” on her uncle’s birth anniversary.
She added that while the Trump administration might file an appeal and that the “story isn’t over”, the family would still “celebrate” the news for today.
