Trump&#8221; beneath the Kennedy Center&#8217;s name on the building.<\/p>\n<p>Last December, the board had voted to <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/kennedy-center-board-votes-to-rename-institution-trump-kennedy-center-white-house-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">rename<\/a><\/span> the center &#8220;The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts,&#8221; and added Mr. Trump&#8217;s name to the facade. Judge Cooper ruled in May that Mr. Trump&#8217;s name had been added illegally and <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trumps-name-must-come-off-the-kennedy-center-june-12\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">ordered its removal<\/a><\/span>. At the time, he also blocked the administration from closing the venue for renovations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since Mr. Trump&#8217;s name was removed, the exterior wall displaying the Kennedy Center&#8217;s name has been obscured by a tarp-covered scaffold.<\/p>\n<p>Lawyers for the Justice Department argued in court filings in the lawsuit that the center&#8217;s &#8220;dangerously dilapidated, outdated, and decrepit&#8221; conditions and recent financial losses put the living memorial to President John F. Kennedy in a &#8220;financial and structural death spiral&#8221; that requires it to be closed for renovations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Congress approved $250 million for the renovation project.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/117276573235915643\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Truth Social post<\/a> shortly after the board voted Tuesday, Mr. Trump said that construction would not begin on the center until after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit rules on a Justice Department appeal of Cooper&#8217;s earlier order barring the first renaming, with Mr. Trump&#8217;s name on the building.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If the ruling is a negative one, which it should not be, and is not overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, the Reconstruction and the Renovation of The Kennedy Center will not take place,&#8221; Mr. Trump said, adding that he has raised $17 million so far in donations to send to the center to &#8220;keep it afloat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The source of the donations mentioned by Mr. Trump was not disclosed, and it&#8217;s unclear where the donations are going.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation
