President Donald Trump raged at what he described as a "highly conflicted judge" on Sunday over his pet Kennedy Center project.
"Kennedy Center is an old and decrepit building that is badly in need of a major construction and public relations fix before it can attain greatness and prestige, perhaps far greater than ever before," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "It has been losing a fortune for many years, and will continue to do so if the highly conflicted judge on the case doesn’t allow us to do what has to be done!"
Trump has been trying to renovate the Kennedy Center throughout his second term, only to be blocked time and again by court orders. Most recently, a judge ordered the Trump administration to remove the president's name from the building, which seems to have inspired officials to put up a tarp to block the Kennedy Center's sign.
Some Trump lawyers have also quietly conceded that the administration may have permanently damaged the Kennedy Center with work it performed without authorization.
