Hello Richard,

Up until Donald Trump, every single president (other than George
Washington) has invited artists and musicians for public performances
at the White House -

It is not about "organizing colourful public performances"
but rather a matter of being invited.

Every president evokes an emotional response from people, whether
in a good way or in a bad way.  But every president *except* Trump
has invited artists and musicians for public performances.

It may be true that Trump has invited artists and/or musicians for
*private* performances at the White House, such as birthday parties,
retirement parties, Christmas parties, etc.  However, word gets
around quite fast in Washington, DC.  And it is impossible for any
politician to keep a secret for longer than a few hours.

To be quite honest, I think Trump is in love with the sound of his
own voice.  And with himself being the only person invited to give
such public (and sometimes private) performances ...
