President Trump calls for Freedom 250 concert to be canceled
The withdrawals followed confusion over Freedom 250, which has no donor list, and Trump suggested replacing the concert with a MAGA-style rally.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump called for the cancellation of the Great American State Fair concert series on the National Mall after multiple artists withdrew, naming himself the headliner instead.
- Several artists, including Martina McBride, withdrew from Freedom 250, stating they were misled about the event's non-partisan nature and citing concerns over the White House's involvement with the festival.
- Trump lambasted the departing performers as "Third Rate" on Truth Social, describing the remaining line-up as "overpriced" and "boring," while Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli remain scheduled to perform.
- Seeking to replace the concert series, the president directed representatives to explore an "AMERICA IS BACK Rally," later proposing a "giant MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN RALLY" at the same location and time.
- Separately, Trump lamented a federal judge's ruling on Friday regarding the Kennedy Center, which ordered his name removed in 14 days, and called for the impeachment of U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper.
