When asked why the cast of Les Misérables boycotted his performance, President Donald Trump responded defiantly as he entered the Kennedy Centre Wednesday night with First Lady Melania Trump at his side.

“I couldn’t care less. Honestly, I couldn’t,” said Trump. “All I do is run the country well.”

Prior to Wednesday night’s premiere, there were rumours that the Trumps, Vice President J.D. Vance, and his wife Usha would attend the legendary musical performed by a few understudies.

A source close to interim Kennedy Center executive director Richard Grenell pushed back on that reporting to the Daily Mail: “It was a fake news from CNN from the beginning – all anonymous sources.”
