A federal judge has halted immediate demolition of the Kennedy Center, ordering the Trump administration to give 30 days’ notice before any action — after the president threatened to tear it down unless his name got top billing. The center, shuttered for safety, is a national memorial and cultural hub since 1971; critics see Trump’s push as a vanity project to rebrand landmarks for legacy. A viral photo of him staring at a “DEMOLISHED” sign stoked fears, though the judge rejected an emergency hearing. Lawmakers and honorees are rallying against what they call wasted resources and disrespect for history.
