Trump to Kick Off Freedom 250 Opening After Performer Dropouts
Trump will personally open the semiquincentennial fair after at least five performers withdrew over concerns the event had become politicized, organizers said.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump announced plans to stage an "AMERICA IS BACK" rally in Washington on Wednesday, following the mass withdrawal of performers from the Great American State Fair at the National Mall.
- Earlier this week, organizers revealed the State Fair's concert lineup, but most acts, including Martina McBride and Bret Michaels, withdrew by Saturday after indicating they wanted to avoid a political fight.
- Trump criticized the departing acts for having "the yips," calling them "Third Rate Artists" paid far too much, and stated he only wants to be surrounded by "Happy People."
- Performers including Vanilla Ice, Flo Rida, and Fab Morvan of Milli Vanilli remain on the bill, with Vanilla Ice stating he is "proud to help celebrate America's 250th Anniversary."
- Instead of the planned musical entertainment, the president directed his team to explore hosting a speech, positioning himself as the "Number One Attraction" to rally the country forward.

Trump loses it as US's 250th Anniversary plans collapse
Trump — As we find ourselves in the 250th anniversary of America’s founding, the country is more American than ever. This isn’t a compliment, of course, but it is a way of introducing the chaos we’re seeing around the anniversary planning — chaos even right-wingers are calling out: I’m actually pretty pissed at how badly they’ve bungled America 250. First they tried to invite Milli Vanilli and a bunch of other absurdly washed up geriatric one h…
