President Donald Trump on Friday criticized a federal judge's ruling delaying planned renovations at the John F. 
Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and ordering the removal of his name from the institution. 
Trump said U.S. 
District Judge Christopher Cooper, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, erred in blocking plans to close the Kennedy Center for renovations, arguing the decision would prevent needed repairs and overlook what he described as serious structural and safety concerns. 
He also said his administration would work with Congress to transfer responsibility for the institution's operations, maintenance, and management back to lawmakers. 
In a lengthy post on Truth Social, Trump said Cooper blocked a planned temporary closure of the Kennedy Center that he said was necessary to carry out major renovations and safety upgrades. 
Trump wrote that the ruling meant "the name, 'TRUMP,' must be removed," arguing that the court had interfered with board-approved efforts to attach his name to the institution as part of a revitalization plan. 
He also said the decision prevented what he described as a necessary overhaul of a deteriorating facility, claiming the center had suffered from "years of neglect, decay, and poor maintenance." 
Trump said the building required extensive reconstruction and that a temporary closure was needed because the work could not be completed safely while the venue remained open. 
He added that the Kennedy Center had lost "Hundreds of Millions of Dollars" over time and said prior construction efforts had been mismanaged, contributing to ongoing deterioration. 
Trump said the board of trustees had unanimously approved adding his name to the institution as part of the renovation effort, but that the court order effectively reversed that action. 
He described the ruling as part of political opposition to his efforts to overhaul the center, and accused the judge of blocking what he called a plan to transform it into "the Finest Facility of its kind, anywhere in the World." 
Trump said he would not move forward under conditions he described as unsafe or obstructive and suggested he would work with Congress to transfer responsibility for the institution's operations and management.
