A dressed-to-the-nines President Trump hit the Kennedy Center red carpet hand in hand with first lady Melania Wednesday night to see “Les Misérables” — and was unfazed by reports that some cast members of his favorite musical planned to boycott opening night due to his presence.

“I couldn’t care less, all I do is run the country well,” the black tuxedo-clad commander-in-chief told The Post as he stood next to Melania, who wore a sleek black sleeveless gown and silver stilettos for the event.

It was the president’s first visit to the Washington, DC, performing arts venue since he appointed himself chairman in February, when he declared it was in “tremendous disrepair” and made it his mission to restore the center.

“We want to bring it back better than ever,” Trump said. “As you know, it needs a little help from the standpoint of age and fitness, but it’s going to be fantastic.”
