The situation with the Kennedy Center has gone off the rails. It has officially reached levels of pettiness I didn’t think were possible, but Trump is once again defying the odds.
A court ordered his name removed from the building. He lost, fair and square. So, what does he do? He throws a tarp over the sign that says “The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts” and just leaves it there.
Not for a day, not for a week, but for WEEKS.
A federal judge is demanding answers, because apparently we live in a country where a sitting president has to be hauled into court to explain why he’s hiding a building from the American public.
A president with a real legacy doesn’t need to paste his name onto someone else’s. And he definitely doesn’t need to hide a sign because a court told him no.
A weak man with a bruised ego would. And that’s exactly what’s happening here.
It’s petty, it’s absurd, and frankly, it’s embarrassing.
🚨 THIS INTERVIEW TOOK AN UNEXPECTED TURN.
🇺🇸 Reporter: "You've earned millions from crypto while serving in office. Were you aware of those deals?"
🇺🇸 Trump: "Yes. Nothing about it was illegal."
🇺🇸 Reporter: "Federal conflict-of-interest law exists to stop public officials from profiting from government positions."
🇺🇸 Trump: "I'm not familiar with that law."
One question. One answer. Millions are now debating whether America's rules apply equally to everyone.
If any ordinary public official admitted something similar, the legal consequences could have been severe.
That's what fearless journalism looks like. 🎤
I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I know @realDonaldTrump and family did.
250 years ago we declared independence from a king who ran the colonies as a family business. In just 18 months the Trumps have made King George look like an amateur.
A $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest in the program’s history, to a company Don Jr.’s firm bought into three months before.
An Air Force drone contract to a startup the princelings took public through a golf course company they own a piece of.
The Army’s largest drone motor order ever, to a company where Don Jr. sits on the board and holds millions in stock.
A $24 million Pentagon robotics contract to the company that employs Eric as Chief Strategy Advisor.
A stake in the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on earth, in Kazakhstan, backed by $1.6 billion in US government support.
Jared’s fund seeded with $2 billion from the Saudi crown prince, now $6.2 billion, 99% of it foreign money from Gulf governments. Over $110 million in fees collected from the Saudis alone. He negotiates American foreign policy with the governments that pay him.
$2.3 billion from crypto ventures their father regulates. More than a million people bought in and lost $2.3 billion. The money didn’t grow. It simply moved from the subjects pockets to the crown’s coffers.
And the next one is already drafted. A proposed ATF rule that will allow guns to be shipped straight to your front door. The government’s own estimate is 3.3 million home gun deliveries a year. Don Jr. sits on the board of the online gun megastore built to cash in. He holds 300,000 shares.
And that’s only the fraction they’ve allowed us to see. Not one subpoena served. Not one search executed. Why hide anything when you own the investigators?
Me? They searched a laptop for six years. Federal prosecutors. Grand juries. Subpoena power. Congressional hearings. They found nothing. I made about $200k a year selling paintings when my Dad was President, and they made my paintings part of an impeachment inquiry.
For six years they’ve asked Where’s Hunter? What about the laptop?
Wrong questions. The right one is 250 years old. Does America belong to a family?
They’ve given their answer. Long live the King.
All he does is lie and self promote. That event was for EVERYONE not just trump and his slime. They hijacked it, stole the money and used it to pump up trump's ego.
Last week, Pennsylvania wasn’t getting the representation it deserved as the birthplace of America.
@SenFettermanPA and I came together and got to work, and 24 hours later, the Commonwealth has a booth worthy of America’s 250th at the Great American State Fair.
MUST WATCH: Gov Shapiro visits President’s House site, talks Donald Trump's attempts to whitewash American history on @CNNSOTU:
"They're trying to rewrite it in a way that they think is suitable to their own narrative."
One year ago this weekend, Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill into law.
Since then, over 160,000 Pennsylvanians have lost healthcare coverage, dozens of rural hospitals are at risk of closure, and costs have skyrocketed for families across the Commonwealth.
When Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans passed that bill, they knew that hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians would be worse off — and they did it anyway.
🚨NEW on @CNNSOTU: @GovernorShapiro slams Donald Trump and JD Vance's divisive rhetoric:
"We have a President and Vice President who are trying — not to lift up all Americans — but to divide Americans and to try and put us in different buckets... that in and of itself is un-American."
.@SenMikeLee and Fox News host @IngrahamAngle both claimed the Patriot Affront march through DC on the Fourth of July was really an Antifa rouse.
That’s interesting. So Antifa dressed up in Patriot Affront uniforms and tricked the founder of Patriot Front, Thomas Rousseau, to lead their march. Now that’s some next level Antifaing!
Rousseau founded Patriot Front in 2017 following the rally in Charlottesville VA that resulted in the murder of Heather Heyer. He told Capital News Service in 2020 that “he believes Trump is a white supremacist who uses the same rhetoric as his group.” He added “It’s encouraging to hear him [Trump] call African countries ‘shitholes’ and say now and then that Mexican illegals are criminals and rapists, and sometimes he even utters some truth about the Jew.”
So, Senator Lee and Fox News host Ingraham say that the march yesterday (complete with confederate flags) that Rosseau led was Antifa disguised as Patriot Front. Hmmm? Perhaps it’s the other way around and it’s Patriot Affront that pretends to be Antifa (see article below).
If Lee and Ingraham had any integrity they’d tell the truth . . . the marchers in face diapers with confederate flags spewing hate and division are part of their own klan.

What happened is very simple to understand.
Trump hijacked the America 250 celebration, stole all the money for himself, then spent a pittance on his Freedom 250 celebration. That’s why all of it is so shitty
Karolie rants about “full blown communism”— as her boss runs 🇺🇸 into the ground, enriches the oligarchs, hollows out the middle class, uses tariffs as leverage for personal gain, steals from taxpayers…
All they have is Fearmongering + projection.
