Donald Trump has branded a federal judge who blocked his renovation of a prestigious cultural centre as “an anti Trump Hater” and predicted that the Kennedy Centre will “soon be closed, probably never to open again”.

In a lengthy post on his Truth Social platform, the president fumed about the decision by US District Judge Christopher Cooper, who also ordered Mr Trump’s name removed from the site.
