It’s hard to imagine anything more selfish, childish, tasteless or unpresidential than Donald Trump’s temper tantrums demanding that his name be put on an arts center devoted to the memory of slain President John F. Kennedy.
But here we are. The law is clear: President Unhinged-Narcissist cannot slap his name on the Kennedy Center. “Simply put,” federal judge Christopher Cooper ruled this past week, neither Trump nor his installed lackeys on the Kennedy Center board can “install memorials for President Trump or anyone or anything else at the Kennedy Center without Congress’s blessing.”
But Felon 47 thinks laws shouldn't apply to him, and he’ll throw fits at anyone who says otherwise!
On Friday, President Sore Loser did not explicitly repeat his threat to destroy the Kennedy Center if he could not put his name on it.
Instead, Trump came up with what he must have thought was a better-sounding excuse.
“I actually like the name of Kennedy and Trump, Trump and Kennedy because it showed bipartisanship,” he said, with a straight face. “It showed a Republican Party and a Democrat Party working together.” As if the Kennedy Center is a piece of legislation. And as if he ever worked together with Democratic Rep. Joyce Beatty, an ex officio Kennedy Center board member.
But that was it for the bipartisanship, Trump style. First, he whined that the center has been losing money “for years,” and that “The place is a dump. It’s been a dump for years.”
“I can turn it around, fix it,” the guy who so totally botched the repair of the Lincoln Reflecting Pool said. “I’ll do a better job building it than anybody else.”
“I can save it easily, but why should we be doing that and then raise money for the rest of our lives to keep it afloat?” Trump added. He meant, why should he do it unless he can emblazon his name on it. “If we get no recognition, if we're going to save the Kennedy Center, I think the Trump administration should be given recognition for doing so.”
According to The Hill, Trump’s whining didn’t stop there. He also griped that Judge Cooper is “conflicted” and “very hostile,” and he smeared Beatty as “a person that never did a thing in her life, frankly — never did anything constructive. All she does is complain.”
