I’m not sure if he’s simply a glutton for punishment or if there’s some humiliation fetish going on inside that Adderall-riddled brain of his. Still, it seems Donald Trump cannot get enough public embarrassment.
As if losing his shirt in his fight against paying E. Jean Carroll what he owes her in the civil sexual assault and battery case that he lost wasn’t enough, it seems the POTUS went back for a second heaping helping of embarrassment with respect to the Kennedy Center fiasco, as a federal court unceremoniously slap down Trump’s attempt to block the court ruling that ordered the removal of his name from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
In what is now the second takedown of the Trump Administration’s request, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled that the President’s legal team has resoundingly failed in their efforts to prove that removing Donald Trump’s name from the world-renowned performing arts venue would severely damage their fundraising efforts. It is worth noting that the Kennedy Center has seen a sharp decline in ticket sales and an influx of cancellations by multiple artists since Trump began his efforts to overtake the establishment.
Nevertheless, Trump and his legal team continue to argue in court that removing his name from the outside of the building would cause “irreparable harm” to the venue’s ability to raise funds.
