Tantrum Trump will permanently block the Kennedy Center from reopening unless they put his name on it – 17 scathing takedowns
The world’s biggest toddler and the President of the USA should ideally be two different people, and yet here we are.
The Oval Office Orange is having a strop of epic proportions because – yet again – a court has blocked his name from being displayed on the John F Kennedy Memorial Center.

“Safety reasons”.
He embellished the lie.
Trump: "The Kennedy Center is in a virtual state of collapse, and has been for many years … unfortunately, the Building is destined to doom. Isn’t that too bad?" pic.twitter.com/NrwgBQmbyE

Seriously, my fellow Americans. Are you not disgusted enough with this crap? Do you not see what this disgraceful president flat out said? If they won’t put his name on THE KENNEDY CENTER, he will shut it down.
At long last, can we reject this disgraceful man & his supporters https://t.co/DACTE6wpbf— Patrick Skinner (@SkinnerPm) September 16, 2026
