Trump has said musical performances celebrating the country’s 250th birthday should be called off after several artists dropped out, citing the event’s affiliation with the White House.
“Cancel it,” he said in a post on Truth Social, calling the slated performers “overpriced” and “boring”.
Well if they’re overpriced and boring, Mister Sir, why did you invite them?
As of Sunday, only a few musical acts were still scheduled to perform out of nine featured artists originally announced on Wednesday. Martina McBride, The Commodores, Young MC and Bret Michaels dropped out.
Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli are still on for 26 June, as is Flo Rida on 2 July. Trump said he is now considering replacing the event with a “Make America Great Again rally”.
Ya that’s a good idea. One, it’s so novel and original. Two, it will absolutely make everyone forget about all those people who backed out. Great face-save!
Trump said in a post on Truth Social that he had heard artists were getting “the yips” – a term used in golf for involuntary spasms or freezes that [affect] a swing. He said he was thinking of appearing himself at the same time and location.
“I am ordering my Representatives to look at the feasibility of doing an AMERICA IS BACK Rally on Wednesday, Washington, DC, same time, same location. Only Great Patriots invited,” he wrote, calling himself the “Number One Attraction anywhere in the World” and saying he “gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime”.
It’s a grand old tradition for US presidents to compare their audiences to those of Elvis. It’s not called the Elvismeter for nothing.
He later doubled down, saying he wanted to replace the planned fair altogether with a rally.
“We should have a giant MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN RALLY, for 250, instead of having overpriced singers, who nobody wants to hear, whose music is boring, and yet who do nothing but complain,” he said.
No wait, wait – let’s quadruple down. Make it a rocket launch to Mars. No overpriced singers there! Nobody who does nothing but complain there!
