'Nothing But Complain'
Initially on the lineup, Martina McBride, Morris Day, Young MC and more announced they would not perform at Washington, D.C. event after learning about organizers' Trump ties
President Donald Trump wants to nix the the Freedom 250 concert, and instead wants to hold a Make America Great Again Rally. His latest missive follows him initially recommending that he himself perform following the sudden exits of artists booked for the event dubbed the “Great American State Fair on National Mall” in Washington D.C.
“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,” he posted on Truth Social late Saturday afternoon. “Cancel it, just like I canceled my involvement with the failing and unsafe to be in Kennedy Center, because a Highly Conflicted, Crooked Federal Judge, said that I should not be allowed to spend my time and money in order to MAKE THE CENTER GREAT AGAIN, actually, far greater than it ever was before!”
It appears Trump is still sore about the ruling from U.S. District Judge Casey Cooper, who determined that the Kennedy Center “cannot bear any other formal name or public memorial based on the Board’s unilateral say-so” on Friday. The judge also ordered that officials remove any of the signage at the Kennedy Center that bears Trump’s name within two weeks.
