Trump included $25 million in Kennedy Center funding.
"I’m a fan of that," Trump said of the funding. "I haven’t spent time there because I’m far too busy. I’d love to go there evenings, but I’m too busy doing things."

The president said an initial draft of the Senate’s roughly $2 trillion economic package called for $35 million in aid for the performing arts center, a figure that was later decreased to $25 million.

The Kennedy Center has a bipartisan board of trustees, which includes first lady Melania Trump.
