9. Trump is a Philistine

Saturday

Trump family was never known as patron of the Arts.

These are some of classical musicians and composers invited to Kennedy White House.

Pablo Casals
Leonard Bernstein
Igor Stravinsky
Aaron Copland

This was a feeble attempt for him to be associated with the Kennedys

Jacqueline Kennedy commissioned Leonard Bernstein for a new piece of music for opening of Kennedy Center.

Has Trump ever commissioned a composer to write a new piece of music?

No.
