Doesn't he have a whole lot of national and international issues that take up his time? I can remember that President Obama often worked into the night, TFG has time to insult and complain online at all hours and then play golf...

The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has experienced a significant decline in ticket sales and subscription revenue since President Trump's appointment as chairman in February. Single-ticket sales were down roughly 50% in April and May compared to the same period in 2024, and subscriptions have also seen substantial drops. The data, compiled by Kennedy Center employees and obtained by The New York Times, reveals a 57% decrease in subscription revenue for dance and an 82% decrease for theater.
