Trump Replacing Failed ‘90s Nostalgia Fest With Himself And Lee Greenwood

If you want something done right, do it yourself. Or in some cases, if you want something done at all, especially when everyone backs out last minute, do it yourself. The Trump-aligned Freedom 250 organization has been trying to put together a concert series called the Great American State Fair. Many of the initially announced performers — Martina McBride, Young MC, the Commodores, Bret Michaels, and Morris Day & The Time — dropped out. Now, there's a new update: The headliner of the "rally to end all rallies" is Donald Trump himself. He will be introduced by country singer Lee Greenwood.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote:

On Wednesday, June 24th, at 7 P.M., in magnificent Washington, D.C., now totally beautified, and one of the Safest Cities anywhere in the World, and in celebration of our Country’s 250 Year History, we will be bringing you, LIVE, the Greatest Rally, EVER! It will be special at every level — A Rally to end all Rallies! We don’t want singers with no talent, but big fees to put you to sleep, we’ve told them all to stay home. All we want is you, me, a few speakers, and the Greatest Music ever played, the same Music you have listened to for years!

We will have the fabulous Lee Greenwood introducing me with what has turned out to be one of the Greatest Hits of All Time, GOD BLESS THE U.S.A., and the amazing Christopher Macchio, who will sing Nessun Dorma, Hallelujah, Ave Maria, God Bless America, and others — Not since the legendary Luciano Pavarotti has there been such a voice! The Rally will also be featuring the wonderful U.S. Army Band “Pershing’s Own” and Armed Forces Choir, and “The President’s Own” Unites States Marine Band, with the Joint Armed Forces Chorus, all of your favorite Hits, PLUS a fine and highly dignified gentleman known as, President DONALD J. TRUMP!
