US Election & Presidency

Apparently he has thrown a strop over artists not wanting to be involved https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy2z23122zo

Quote:US President Donald 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".

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".
...

"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".

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,"
...

It's funny, I wouldn't consider those that were or are still a part of it a big draw, they are are hardly the most famous or even relevant performers you'd expect to see at a celebration of America, but it was never going to be that, was it. As for the UFC, much like the WWE, they are friendly with Trump, so don't expect them to drop out of it.

Vanilla Ice & Milli Vanilli.

Ironic when the lytham festival has better acts than for an american celebration of 250 years esp ironic when one of the acts at lytham is Alanis Morristette

was laughing with some americans about this when i saw milli vanilli and lets be honest its half of milli vanilli as one commited suicide think was in the 90s

The Milli Vanilli guy pulled out a couple of days ago.

Was surprised the likes of Kid Rock and Ted Nugent were not on the lineup

Can it just drop dead quickly. Please.

It seems like such a sad state if this is all that the United States of America has to show for just 250 years of history, even though nearly 100 of those years as the predominant power in the whole world.

Senile old man rants at perceived enemies that don't exist...but he happens to be the President, fuck me that's scary.

He walked out of Press interviewer in s strop after calling the press 'a crooked network' (well done to the woman interviewer for standing up to him and showing him up for what he is and that is a man who has serious personality disorders, and a liar, a crook and first class C**t ) and apparently a judge is now trying to put a stop to the UFC event taking place on the White House Lawn (which also many celebrities have now turned down invitations, apparently) on June14, not great for the UFC.
Maybe now we might end up getting Musk Vs Zuckerberg as the main Event
