Even Fox News noticed that emotionally weak leaders should not be given destructive powers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70039\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Warns Against Giving the Nuclear Codes to Mentally Declining Presidents \u2013 Like Trump?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This week Trump&#8217;s psychological stability was challenged when a federal judge ruled that adding his name to the Kennedy Center was illegal and that he must remove it and cease plans to shut it down for unnecessary renovations. As <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2026\/may\/29\/trump-removal-name-kennedy-center\" target=\"_blank\">reported by The Guardian<\/a><\/strong>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;A judge on Friday ordered the removal of Donald Trump\u2019s name from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, ruling that the prestigious Washington DC venue cannot be renamed without an act of Congress&#8230;[US district judge Christopher] Cooper also temporarily blocked the center from closing this summer for proposed renovations, two months after Trump announced its two-year closure.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Shortly after that ruling was announced, Trump took to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=69682\" target=\"_blank\">his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, to plaintively cry about what a pathetic victim he is. The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/38883\" target=\"_blank\">post<\/a><\/strong> was so long that it would be a monumental waste of time to read it. But it contained a few morsels of insight into just how demented Trump is.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3mn2r7lgces2u\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreidj7ebzbtzjuak73kgi7lz4ks4cmuiwjkngc6qesfrr43lciqggx4\">\n<p lang=\"en\">WARNING: Do not read without a strong tolerance for BLLSHT!This is Trump&#39;s tirade after a judge ruled that adding his name to the Kennedy Center was illegal, ordering it to be removed, and halting his plans to shut it down for renovations.

He used more than half of his harangue (385 out of 723 words) to attack the judge&#8217;s wife as <em>&#8220;an anti Trump Hater.&#8221;<\/em> He whined that <em>&#8220;Unless I am free to do what I do better than anyone else&#8230;I have no interest in continuing what could only be a hopeless journey into \u201cNEVER NEVER LAND.&#8221;<\/em> And his ludicrous argument against the ruling was that <em>&#8220;a large Board of some of the most distinguished people in the Country voted unanimously to put the name up. I didn\u2019t do it, the Board did.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For the record, Trump&#8217;s argument had not only already been rejected by the court, it is grossly dishonest. As was also reported by the The Guardian&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Shortly after taking office last year, Trump sparked controversy when he appointed himself chair of the Kennedy Center\u2019s board of trustees in February, calling it a &#8216;take-over&#8217;. He purged the board and replaced them with his own appointees. The board of the Kennedy Center then voted in favor of the proposal to add Trump\u2019s name in December, culminating an aggressive effort of his administration to remake Washington\u2019s arts and culture institutions to his liking.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Not surprisingly, Fox News quickly leaped to Trump&#8217;s defense. Their official Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, who herself is a Trump appointee on the Center&#8217;s board, was outraged on his behalf. So she <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MariaBartiromo\/status\/2060581963564827084\" target=\"_blank\">tweeted<\/a><\/strong> that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The board already approved the name change @kencen the way these judges go after @realDonaldTrump is absolutely sick and the history books will reveal how sick and un American they are -Grow Up &#038; stop wasting everyone&#8217;s time on your politics.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>REALLY? Bartiromo is either lying (again), or is pitifully ignorant of the facts noted above. What&#8217;s more, she was cited multiple times for her flagrant lying in the defamation lawsuit that cost Fox News $787 million for lying about the 2020 presidential election being <em>&#8220;rigged&#8221;<\/em> by Dominion Software. That&#8217;s likely to be more prominent in history books than whatever she is complaining about now.<\/p>\n<p>As for <em>&#8220;wasting everyone&#8217;s time on politics,&#8221;<\/em> what does she think Trump is doing with his relentless self-aggrandizing efforts to exalt himself at the Kennedy Center, as well as the Institute of Peace, his golden vanity ballroom, his triumphal arch, and his new proposal to put his scowling mug on a $250.00 bill? Which ironically would just remind people of what it costs to fill their tank, pay for housing, get health insurance, or buy groceries.<\/p>\n<p>Bartiromo&#8217;s tweet just parroted Trump&#8217;s rant, including his claims about his Board of Flunkies and his attacks on the judge&#8217;s wife. She concluded by asking <em>&#8220;Do they not realize [America] wants @realDonaldTrump to win?&#8221;<\/em> Considering that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/administration\/5901371-trump-job-approval-record-low\/\" target=\"_blank\">Trump&#8217;s approval rating is sitting at record lows<\/a><\/strong>, you have to wonder what fantasy world she resides in?<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70034\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Hypes Trump\u2019s INSANE Homeland Security Plan to Halt International Flights to Blue Cities<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70025\" target=\"_blank\">Did Trump Fail His Physical?
