Could only happen to Trump: President hijacks Cabinet meeting to cry about lawsuits over his radical DC plansPresident Donald Trump spent roughly 15 minutes of a cabinet meeting on Thursday complaining about a historic preservation groups efforts to block him from shutting down the Kennedy Center for a purported preservation and grousing about the Justice Department being unable to prosecute the chairman of the Federal Reserve over their renovation.
The president was in the middle of a long soliloquy about fixing up the Washington, DC-based arts center which was built in honor of assassinated President John F. Kennedy when he began to claim the controversial renovation would be under budget, ahead of schedule and unfavorably compared the project to the long-running rehab of the nearly century-old Federal Reserve headquarters.
He quickly pivoted to airing a related grievance about the National Trust for Historic Preservation, a congressionally chartered nonprofit that has filed multiple lawsuits against his administration to block the construction of his planned White House ballroom after he ordered the historic East Wing reduced to rubble last fall.
Everything I do, I get sued. Under budget, ahead of schedule, I get sued over a ballroom that's going to be the most beautiful ballroom in the country ... we get sued by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. They don't know what they're doing, he said.
