Donald Trump says he may scrap parts of the Freedom 250 celebration after several performers have withdrawn, proposing a large MAGA rally instead.<\/p>\n
Donald Trump has suggested replacing planned Freedom 250 concerts with a political rally after a wave of artist withdrawals.<\/p>\n
The celebrations, tied to America\u2019s upcoming 250th anniversary, have faced turbulence after several musicians backed out, with some claiming they were unaware of the event\u2019s political ties.<\/p>\n
Some performers still remain attached to the event, including Vanilla Ice and Flo Rida, although questions remain about the final lineup and format of the Freedom 250 celebrations.<\/p>\n
Various artists pull out
\nReports say artists including Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, The Commodores and Young MC distanced themselves from the concerts, with some describing the event as more politically charged than they had expected.<\/p>\n
Trump has now responded in a lengthy Truth Social post, criticizing performers who had dropped out and suggesting he could take their place.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe 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,\u201d Trump wrote.<\/p>\n
He also floated canceling the concert series altogether.<\/p>\n
\u201cCancel it,\u201d Trump added, while tying the dispute to his ongoing frustration over the Kennedy Center legal battle.<\/p>\n
Trump compared himself to Elvis
\nTrump went further by suggesting he could personally headline the celebration.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World, the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime,\u201d Trump wrote, referring to himself.<\/p>\n
He later described himself as \u201cTHE GOAT\u201d and proposed an \u201cAMERICA IS BACK Rally\u201d in place of some live performances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
