WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge ruled Friday that President Donald Trump’s name was illegally added to the Kennedy Center and blocked the administration from closing the cultural and arts venue for major renovations — the latest legal setback for Trump’s efforts to leave his personal mark on the landscape of the nation’s capital.

Trump said in response that he’s backing away from his proposed renovation and returning control of the arts institution to Congress.

A tiny bit of good news this morning.

I hate that something this minor feels like such a huge win, but that's the world we live in when the opposition party doesn't actually oppose anything.

Because they aren’t the opposition. It’s all for show; it’s really all just the bourgeoisie.

Agreed.

So he put his name on it and then tried to close it? Is that dumb motherfucker trying to speedrun the Trump Taj Mahal scenario again?

He's just desperate to slap his stupid brand on every single monument that he can. It's pathetic.
