Draining the Swamp: Donny to Slash Taxpayer Funded Art

Piss_Christ_by_Serrano_Andres_(1987) [1]
No this does not qualify as draining the swamp, but its does lower it just s wee bit. Artfare is welfare, payments for (left wing) artists disguised a government support for the arts. May the taxpayer never have to pay to support another Piss Christ, from the Washington Free Beacon [2]:

The Trump administration is seeking major cuts to federal spending upon taking office, with plans to eliminate agencies and programs to reduce the budget by over $10 trillion.

The National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities would be eliminated, according to a new report on the administration’s spending

I am in favor of allowing free citizen to freely choose to follow arts as a profession. However said citizen-artists should not expect the taxpayer to become their patron of last reason. If nobody wants to voluntarily patronize an artist, it should not be up to the taxpayer to fund an otherwise failing artist.

Also targeted Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I am sure that George Soros will be willing fund the left wing public broadcasting propaganda.
