Trump erupts at Kennedy Center board meeting, congresswoman says

TL;DR
Democratic Rep. Joyce Beatty, who chairs the Kennedy Center board, says Trump berated her for nearly 10 minutes during a board meeting over plans to close the venue after a judge blocked renaming it after himself, describing the episode as the most unprofessional thing she’s witnessed. The board voted to close the center for repairs amid ongoing litigation over the renaming, with DOJ arguing the center’s finances are precarious even as a judge reaffirmed Congressional intent that the building be named for John F. Kennedy. Trump supporters maintain naming should be tied to donations, though a court has found no proof that name-related gifts are essential.
