Bloomberg: “President Donald Trump floated that he’d remain in charge of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts just days after he said Congress would retain control over the institution.”
Said Trump: “I’m the chairman, so we’ll just keep it going. Somebody has to do it. It’s lost hundreds of millions of dollars for years, and yet it’s something you have to keep going, you know. It’s the arts.”
