Trump Says Kennedy Center Could Be 'Ripped Down' if He Doesn't Get Recognition The latest skirmish between Donald Trump and the federal judiciary has played out in the unlikely setting of Washington D. C. 's John F.
Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. A federal judge blocked Trump's name from being added to the building, prompting a heated response from the president.
Trump claims that the center would be "closed" or even "ripped down" if his administration doesn't receive recognition on the building. However, this threat is patently absurd.
