Despite the fact that the previous president was, himself, the product of show business, the arts seemed to mean nothing to him. “If artists were hostile to Trump’s policies, Trump’s White House — perhaps from a self-protective attitude of ‘If I can’t have it, then I never wanted it’ — was unusually inhospitable to or at best uninterested in them, routinely dropping the National Endowment for the Arts from his proposed budgets. He was the first president to skip the Kennedy Centers Honors.” Things have changed. – Los Angeles Times
