There was no measurable rain in Washington, D.C. Friday night, but even a threat of scattered showers was enough to melt Vanilla Ice’s planned performance on the National Lawn as part of the Freedom 250 events, as the free show was called off hours before it was set to occur due to “inclement weather.” Vanilla […]

Almost all of the acts scheduled to perform at Donald Trump's Freedom 250 concert series dropped off the lineup shortly after it was announced last month. Milli Vanilli, Young MC, and C+C Music Factory were among the I Love The ‘90s Tour acts the White House booked (via Jeff Epstein) to celebrate America’s semiquincentennial, but Vanilla Ice was the last of the ‘90s artists standing. However,…

Donald Trump last night launched America's 250th anniversary celebrations with an event so brazenly partisan that Kash Patel's girlfriend sang the national anthem

Donald Trump said that he’s now planning a June 24 rally in Washington, D.C. with Lee Greenwood and Christopher Macchio performing after a line up of artists pulled out of previous plans for a Freedom 250 concert series on the National Mall. Trump wrote on Truth Social on Thursday, “On Wednesday, June 24th, at 7 […]

The Great American State Fair, a concert series concocted as part of Donald Trump's Freedom 250 programming celebrating 250 years of the United States, has been an object lesson about American entertainers' widespread desire to disassociate themselves from Trump. When the lineup first came out, it was amusing to see what amounted to an I Love The '90s Tour with a few other nostalgia acts…

And then there was… one? Going into this past weekend, there were two out of nine artists booked for the “Freedom 250” concerts in Washington, D.C. that were still proclaiming an eagerness to do the gig: Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli’s Fab Morvan. Now that number has been halved, as Morvan, who said he was […]

Evidently furious at the several musical artists who canceled their performances at his “Great American State Fair,” President Donald Trump is floating yet another event that no one will want to attend.

“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,” Trump…

The president posted a lengthy rant after five acts pulled out of the summer event celebrating the United States' birthday.

The president had earlier said on social media that he should take the place of “these highly paid, Third Rate ‘Artists,’” saying he gets “larger audiences than Elvis.”

So far, Morris Day And The Time, Young MC, Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, and the Commodores have all dropped off the lineup for Donald Trump's Freedom 250 concert series called the Great American State Fair, which is (was?) slated for this summer at the National Mall. Now Trump has reacted to the controversy on his weird-ass Truth Social platform, complaining about the "third rate 'artists'"…

President Donald J. Trump is now saying “cancel it” about the concert series his Freedom 250 organization is putting on in June and July, after five of the nine artists announced backed out within 48 hours of the shows being announced. He wrote in a Truth Social post Saturday night: “We should have a giant […]

Well, this is all getting very confusing. Yesterday, the lineup for the Great American State Fair was announced, with acts like Milli Vanilli, Morris Day And The Time, C+C Music Factory, Young MC, Bret Michaels, Flo Rida, and more on the bill to celebrate 250 years of the USA. Shortly after, Morris Day And The Time dropped off, saying he wouldn't be performing despite the "rumor." Young MC…

This summer the proud nation known as the United States Of America will officially celebrate its 250th birthday. Donald Trump is doing his very best to turn this into a celebration of his own magnificence, and the proceedings will include a UFC event on the White House lawn and a grand prix race in Washington, DC, a city not exactly built for automotive speed. The Freedom 250 people have also put…
