Judge orders removal of Donald Trump's name from Kennedy Center, blocks closure plan; US president blasts ruling

US District Judge Christopher Cooper directed officials to remove within 14 days all signage bearing Trump's name and eliminate references to a "Trump Kennedy Center" or the "Donald J Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts" from official materials.
