Donald Trump has just canceled the Freedom 250 Great American State Fair afte...

They believed it was the America 250 event not the freedom 250 event and once they learned it was the freedom 250 event, which is the Trump propaganda event

Each one of those performers quit, so now Donald Trump said the event is over and instead of the musical acts

I'm going to be holding a rally and the event will just be a deranged Trump event Donald Trump Posted the following message. She said that a lot of these musical acts have the yip. She said he said I understand artists are getting the yips having to do with their performance on Wednesday So I'm thinking about bringing the number one attraction anywhere in the world the man who gets much larger audiences Then Elvis in his prime and he does so without a guitar the man who loves our country more than anyone else

And the man who's some say is the greatest president in history the goat Donald J Trump to take the place of

These highly paid third rate artists and give a major speech rallying the country forward

Like I have done ever since being president two years ago the United States was dead

Pause there for a second, so he's calling the artists who he invited to the event

Third rate he's saying that he brings bigger crowds than Elvis and he goes on to say that he's giving another one of these Drainage Trump rallies He then says now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world. Pause. We have the hottest inflation right now that keeps going up up He goes I don't want so-called artists that get paid far too much money Who are unhappy. I only want to be surrounded by happy people smart people successful people and people that know how to win

So by copy of this truth. I am ordering my representatives to look at the feasibility I'm doing an America is back rally on Wednesday Washington DC same time same location Only great patriots invited it will be wild and beautiful

Celebration of America Donald J Trump and then shortly thereafter Donald Trump posted again about

Cancelling this freedom to 50 state fair concert and here's what he writes. He goes

We should have a giant make America great again rally for 250 instead of having over-priced singers who nobody wants to hear Who's music is boring and yet who do nothing but complain 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 would have also been nice to see the

Republican Democrat Union bring it to life. The Kennedy Center is broken unsafe and dollar sign busted and has been for many years Judge Cooper also stated that the highly prestigious board of the center was not authorized to add the name Trump Despite the fact that hundreds and millions of dollars of my time and money will be necessary For its successful reincarnation. So now the Kennedy Center will collapse Both structurally and financially judge Cooper and his wife and he gives the wife's name should be ashamed of themselves

Judge Cooper like numerous other crooked judges on my case should be impeached make America great again Donald J Trump I wonder why people don't want to be at this music event. I wonder why artists don't want to be Associated with it and now you saying you want to turn it instead of a concert into an America first make America great again rally where you're gonna Ask for judges to be impeached and talk about their wife's names

I mean this behavior is so utterly dangerous and deranged and then to leave no doubt that this was always a Trump

Prop again to event from the outset in addition to the fact that he's turning it into a Trump rally Which he was gonna do anyway and then use the artists as props Donald Trump started making social media posts like this After announcing that the event was gonna be a Trump rally He posted this weird AI image of himself in George Washington on horses With a rocket ship and with the American flag

He then posted a photo of himself looks like he's like kissing or eating the American flag or using it as A tissue it's unclear then more posts of himself in George Washington He posts Trump peace prize. He does a photo of himself unmount rush more than he posts an image of a gigantic garbage can

With trash in it, and then he says the Obama presidential library, you know e...

Sicophants are criticizing Donald Trump for doing this right now. I mean Matt Walsh

You don't get more maga right wing propaganda than Matt Walsh. Here's what he says and I'm gonna and mint

I agree with Matt Walsh here. I don't think you're ever gonna hear me say that again Here's what Matt Walsh writes. I'm actually pretty pissed at how badly they've bungled America to 50 Actually, it's not America. I want to be clear. I mean, just fact check them there Trump turned America to 50 into freedom to 50 America to 50 was something that was created in 2016

It's nonpartisan and this was supposed to be a celebration of our country No politics not a liberal or conservative thing. Let's just get good performers. Let's talk about our nation's history We should all be able to rally around that right Trump turned it into freedom to 50 to make it about himself

And that's what turned off all of these artists and then of course Trump lied to them. Anyway, Walsh goes on to say

First they tried to invite Millie Vinilly and a bunch of other absurdly washed up geriatric one-hit wonders Then when that didn't work, they decided to convert the event into a Trump rally We're a Trump will talk about himself for 90 minutes. This should have been a massive rockist celebration of the country And it's 250 year history now. It will be a political rally identical to the 10 million other ones We've all ready seen and we're I agree with Matt. By the way, not obviously Millie Vinilly even Eli's

You know some of the artists there were obviously, you know a bit silly and ridiculous there There were some artists that I was interested in you know potentially seeing Martin and McBride Morris Day in the time No, it may it may be the Commodore's But Donald Trump is certainly trapped in life in 1980s in the 1970s. That's for sure

But you know you had Martin and McBride. She said she was defrauded and she quit the event young MC said he was defrauded He quit the event

CNC music factory freedom Williams said that he was lied to about the event. He never knew it was like a

Freedom 250 Trump event. He's like I may still perform. I hate Donald Trump. You should know that I hate him

Manila, I said he would perform with Putin and Iran if he was asked so he doesn't care He just wants to do something make money. He needs money. I think Millie Vinilly the real Millie the real backup vocalists who actually did this thing and they're out the Commodore said that they're out Morris Day in the time Said that they're out Brett Michael said that he out no one's ever really heard from flow right up but one by one they all

quit and then Donald Trump said You know Donald Trump posted that message right there and then you know look you have the great American state fair Freedom 250 announcement. They try to say but look freedom 250's a nonpartisan organization Dedicated to United Americans around the nations 250 that anniversary the great American state fair is one of the freedom 250 Signature celebrations bringing together the 50 states. No, I mean like Donald Trump has invaded

Blue states with ice and border patrol Gestapo. I mean he's ripped the country apart and so you can't say that

It's nonpartisan and then Donald Trump starts posting images of himself with all this weird AI stuff and says it's gonna be You know a political rally. I mean that's just the reality of what he's doing Martin and McBride as you know and then in terms of who is in charge of freedom 250 will Donald Trump's the chair And then the other leaders are magma Johnson Marco Rubio Heggsiff Tim Scott Monica Crowley, Ben Carson It's all the magga people come on. That's not what this event is supposed to be

Martin and McBride says that she was basically lied to about and of the event She said I was presented with an opportunity to perform at a nonpartisan event I asked a lot of questions and was assured this was a nonpartisan event and then she says that it turns out it was something different than what it was

Representing same thing with young MC he says the artists were never told about the political connection

I literally saw the freedom 250 affiliation this morning What when it was announced two days ago and he goes I don't want to be a part of this I want to perform in DC and invent that is truly nonpolitical is what he ultimately said I mean if you think about the artists that Donald Trump has promoted before I mean it's you know Ted Newt and Ted Newt would go on stage with Donald Trump and Wakeo Texas and say the following here play this clip

I want my money back. I did not rise any money to you Krain to some homosexual weight weirdo I want my money back Or Donald Trump would bring on stage sleepy hollow and chef G once they were indicted in 24 with 30 other gang members on a 140-count criminal indictment including murder and at least 12 shootings

Chef G posted $1.

Gee big chef G fans you would have this guy for got to you blow Did lots of songs about like or like the videos that appeared to be like chopping up Girl friends or something. I mean if you look at these videos very deranged videos this guy would make him then Him and Alina Haba Alina Habo over there is the top federal process was the top federal Prosecutor in New Jersey wearing this like really creepy Trump like fake gold necklaces

I mean these are truly you know these are truly weird people And as you know, I've been speaking a lot with Ben Folds, you know who quit as the Equipment February 2025 as the Curator of the national symphony orchestra and I asked him about you know his Decision to quit that I thought was very very very

You know important here's what he had to say let's play this clip. It's really sad

it you know the the Kenny Center had so many Great Missions and and it is a memorial as well. It's it's it's just close to sacred stuff as you can get for our federal government

But you know aside from that it really is playing out Roughly the way that that it felt it would for me a year ago And I'm not saying that I understood how events would unfold exactly but it was clearly the first step of It was an authoritarian move. It was an authoritarian first

First step and like obviously they weren't going to start by trying to steam roller late night comedians They thought they would run over us first and that's that's much easier because it's close to home and they know what they're you know and how to do it But now the things that are happening are no surprise because

You know it wasn't just him. I think people misunderstand it's not just him going in wanting to book bands or something

You know it's it's common during You know the the governments the the the arts And then from there that's expression that's free that's freedom of expression and from there you move on to the networks And to Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel in 60 minutes and you just keep steam rolling So I was sick on my stomach when I quit because one I knew they were going to run in the in the ground

No one that they were appointing had any experience in arts

Administration but that was never the point point was to take that run over it move on so it's rotting over

You know next to the atomic atomic in the moment and it's like it's just sad, you know And he was right and of course, you know about the Kennedy Center ruling that the federal judge recently made That Donald Trump can't put his name on it anymore and that Trump has to open up the Kennedy Center and he can't be You know destroying it the way he is you know Donald Trump's also made very weird posts about himself in Elvis You saw on the post he made in the morning about Elvis he you know he previously posted

For so many years people have been saying that Elvis and I look alike Now this pick has been going all over the place what what do you think and then He made a John Donald Trump made a song with the January 6th insurrectionist

They were selling the music on iTunes do you remember that the January 6th insurrection choir was the song that they came up with and

Donald Trump would always claim that the J6 choir is beating Taylor Swift

More people care about the January 6 choir these were the when the insurrectionists were in jail They did a phone call and he recorded the J6 Insurrectionists like with the Israeli creepy audio like more people like the J6 choir than then then Taylor Swift Remember he would go around saying that you're playing this clip right here Hello, that's like the really beating series with by the way. Yeah, I did

The J6 is beating Taylor Swift. It's Donald Trump and the J6 You know the pendible is on iTunes and do an Amazon and on billboard which is the big deal Number one Donald Trump so now I feel like Elvis because now we've done the apprentice that was the great success We did now I've done Recording or whatever you call it, but no it was number one, and you know that is that's a tribute to the fact that people feel the J6

People have been very unfairly treated just right and so we really need to call this behavior out I'm glad that all of those artists quit It exposed what this was gonna be this propaganda fest for Donald Trump where he was going to make it always about himself And I think athletes artists

Musical performers whoever you have to realize that

You can't avoid politics with Trump because he uses U.S. props for his fascist agenda

So you have to be able to stand up to it and call it out and I'm glad this ev...
