After a federal judge blocked the board’s attempt to honor Trump, the center shut down for renovations, prompting Trump to threaten demolition unless his demands are met. Critics—including board member Rep. Joyce Beatty and Kerry Kennedy—call his actions a “tantrum” and “hostage-taking.” Fencing now surrounds the landmark, halting public access as the future of the renovation and the center’s survival hangs in the balance amid escalating disputes over naming rights and political accountability.
