Trump photo seems to reference Kennedy Center demolition amid legal battle over closure - CNBC

A new photo shows President Donald Trump eyeing a poster that appears to reference the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts being demolished, hours after he warned that the building "will end up being ripped down" if he is not properly recognized for his efforts to renovate it.

Rep. Joyce Beatty , the Ohio Democrat battling Trump over his efforts to get his name affixed to the Kennedy Center, notified a federal judge Thursday morning in a court filing about the image and the president's threat.

In response, Judge Christopher Cooper ordered the Kennedy Center to give 30 days' notice before implementing any changes to the scope of planned renovations "including but not limited to any 'demolition' of the Center's main building."
