## Resource

Bill Maher took home the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor — but the ceremony turned into a political circus when a Trump impersonator hit the stage right as he accepted his award. The Kennedy Center, once a bastion of arts, has become a flashpoint for political drama, after Trump tried to rename it, sparking a legal battle that ended with a judge blocking his name — and a tarp still covering the spot. Comedians turned the chaos into material, blending satire with real-world absurdity. And with Maher and Trump’s long history — including a $5 million bet and a dropped lawsuit — the night was less award show, more cultural warzone.
