semi-related, an update on Trump's War on the Arts...
Mike Huckabee comes out against Trump's War on the Arts coupled with Paul Ryan's Nonsensical Budget Cuts:
"I do care greatly about the real recipients of endowment funds: the kids in poverty for whom NEA programs may be their only chance to learn to play an instrument, test-drive their God-given creativity and develop a passion for those things that civilize and humanize us all," he added.
The Hill:
The NEA accounts for only about 0.004 percent of the U.S. budget and promotes engagement in the arts, upping academic performance among low-income students and providing much-needed outreach to veterans and the disabled.

Two points.
1. Hamilton is a remarkable play. I'm a huge Hamilton fan and listen to it constantly. The San Francisco performance is AMAZING.
2. To "not Mike Huckabee" - try to resist the urge to inject Donald Trump into every single thread. It's getting old. We get it...
I'm very happy these students got to see great theater!

It's really Ryan's war on the arts. Trump never read the budget.
Hamilton has nothing to do with Trump? Ask Mike Pence.
