So far, Morris Day And The Time, Young MC, Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, and the Commodores have all dropped off the lineup for Donald Trump's Freedom 250 concert series called the Great American State Fair, which is (was?) slated for this summer at the National Mall. Now Trump has reacted to the controversy on his weird-ass Truth Social platform, complaining about the "third rate 'artists'" who pulled out of the bill.
In his post, he says he is thinking of taking the place of the musicians and turning the event into a rally for patriots, since he is "the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime." Here is what he wrote in full:
I understand Artists are getting “the yips” having to do with their performance on Wednesday, so I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World, the man who gets much larger audiences than 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 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. Now we have the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. I don’t want so-called “Artists” that get paid far too much money, who aren’t happy. 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 of doing an AMERICA IS BACK Rally on Wednesday, Washington, D.C., same time, same location. Only Great Patriots invited — It will be a Wild and Beautiful Celebration of America! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Meanwhile, Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli, and C+C Music Factory have defended their decisions to perform, while Flo Rida hasn't said anything.
