President-Elect Trump's Arts Policy Statement...
Q: Does the federal government have a role to play in funding the creation and performance of
art, or in making art accessible to all Americans? Federal funding for the National Endowment
for the Arts currently stands at $148 million. Do you think that funding level is appropriate?
What would you request in your first budget as president?
A: The Congress, as representatives of the people, make the determination as to what the spending priorities ought to be. I had the great fortune to receive a comprehensive liberal arts education from an Ivy League institution. What is most important is that we examine how one-size-fits-all approaches imposed by the federal government have corrupted the availability and efficacy of liberal arts education. Critical thinking skills, the ability to read, write and do basic math are still the keys to economic success. A holistic education that includes literature and the arts is just as critical to creating good citizens.
