FDR created the Federal Music Project, which, as part of the New Deal, employed thousands of musicians, composers and conductors to produce public concerts. The Eisenhowers were the first to bring Broadway musical theater to the White House. JFK hosted many classical concerts at the White House, probably at Jackie's urging since his tastes were more middlebrow, but he did enough for music to get a performing arts center named after him. Nixon preferred classical music and played the piano. Jimmy Carter hung out with the Allman Brothers and was a big fan of Southern rock. Bush I liked the Oak Ridge Boys and other country music. Bill Clinton played the saxophone. W. had an iPod containing country and classic rock. Obama's tastes in music are listed in the OP.
But Trump?
Nothing.
