Trump may cancel 250th anniversary concerts after artists withdraw
President Donald Trump says he is considering canceling the National Mall concerts planned to mark the United States' 250th anniversary after multiple performers withdrew. Organizers had billed those large-scale evening concerts as centerpiece public events for the semiquincentennial celebration. Several performers pulled out in the run-up to the concerts, prompting Trump's announcement that cancellation is under consideration. Canceling would remove a high-profile element from the commemoration, cut national visibility for the 250th, and intensify disputes about WHO controls the holiday's tone and leadership.

EARNED MY SPURS: "UNDERSTANDABLE CASE OF THE YIPS" 🐎28There went what little viewership he could have counted on
Just a Wanderer26And by “speech,” he means incoherent word salad.
Trickemhunter16Maybe it’s dawning on him that people hates him!
skippyoz11During the speech about himself, is the orange blob going to wobble to YMCA?
Al Stewart9and it will be a great speech
Dr Eric Farmer8Wow! Is he beginning to get the message that he's the most unpopular person alive? What a pity that his very existence is tainting the 250th anniversary celebrations.
Hookcity - 🚫“War Plan” DMs Please 👊🏻🇺🇸🔥 🫣8Did you guys see this, he's completely lost his marbles
MzBehavn™8A speech. You mean 2 hours of word salad and narcissistic verbal diarrhea?
Julie Sirrs6I love this for him
taylormade56.bsky.social5Listening to him every goddamn day isn't enough? Talk about overkill..another reason not to watch the Whitehouse dumpster fire 🔥
Grumpy Grandpa4Yea cuz nothing says fun time then listening to this maniac talk about QBs legs , swimmers with dicks and windmills
joelgrant.bsky.social4The cultists present will not want to be the first person to stop clapping. Picture trained seals eager for a fish.
James Baum4What did the organizers expect? Lying to experienced major professional performers about it really being a political stunt not something for ALL THE PEOPLE? Oh yeah, I forgot Trump isn’t really the president of all the people. Just millionaires and billionaires and those in the MAGA CULT
Seeing Stars4He really does think this is an equivalent substitution. If anything, he believes a speech from him is MORE entertaining than a music fest. Good luck to anyone unfortunate enough to have to attend this event. Im sure it’s going to be super fun, lol
Sherry3“Only Great Patriots invited,” Trump wrote, saying the rally would be a 》“Wild and Beautiful Celebration of America!”《 Like J6? The White House earlier declined to comment on the performer cancellations, noting that it wasn’t organizing the event www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Maria Aragon - Artist and Author3Good. I can turn him off easily. Not planning on celebrating anything till that 'certain' day. Then I got my bottle of Chardonnay waiting.
IfyoftheMostHigh3🤣🤣🤣 and a fake assassination attempt will happen, and one idiot will take the fall for it because he signed an NDA. Scripts already written with actors on standby ready for action. We know the drill.
farmgurlkp83.bsky.social3I bet they'll be lined up for that!🤭🤭🤭🤭
RF_Dude Слава Україні 🇺🇦3I sincerely believe that given a choice I'd rather listen to Volgon Poetry for hours than listen to a single moment of Trump's voice.
CLE2How can you cancel something that already cancelled itself from lack of participation & attendance?
Jean Ibosh2I don’t know if he can stay awake for that long. To replace 6 hours of entertainment with blubbering nonsense.
Earl2A sad commentary of how far we’ve deteriorated under the rapepublicans since Reagan started the decline.
Karla Ward2I hope everyone’s making plans to be out of earshot…
ᗰoggs 🏴🇪🇺🕊️🇺🇦2Now.. He claims the acts 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 booked, are third rate??
WILLIAM STLUCIA😎2Oh, this is gonna be down on the monument grounds? I HOPE IT RAINS THUNDER LIGHTNING A HUNDRED MILE AN HOUR, HURRICANE FORCE, WINDS AND A TORNADO DROPS IN ALL ON THE SAME AFTERNOON😳😂🙏🏿
Grandma Muses™ ☘️🍕2He’s using the military to boost attendance at that ridiculous fight thing. What’s next? Trump as the featured match-up?
CHRIS MONTROSE2No one will watch and i won't celebrate our democracy until he removes himself from our house
Pat Riot2Top Act: Kid Rock (Not a KID, dumb as a ROCK) will lip-sync Milli Vinilli songs.
Joanne💋💙2May it be hot as hell 🔥🌞 and this be the day on live TV. 🤨
SaxAddict 🎷 🎗🇺🇸2I heard it through the grapevine that the California Raisins have become the latest act to pull out of Trump’s Great American State Fair.
retired-n-happy.bsky.social2Exactly the reason the other artists quit..
KO2Nothing says a celebration like a demented vitriol-spewing windbag.
APBAmlb19872So now we get treated to two plus hours of fat Satan babbling about windmills, 1500% drug price reductions, invisible water valves in California, foreign countries paying tariffs, Portland burning, ending a couple dozen wars, and that he never knew Epstein. Wonderful.
I really wish we didn’t have to deal with Trump Bullshit during the 250th anniversary it was going to be tacky and ignorable and now they’ve ratcheted up the tacky and made it basically impossible to ignore
Micah348yes see but I don’t want a perfect metaphor for America I want him to go away
Cao Cao Power Hour Enthusiast27i really do hope he croaks on stage at one of these things
Rick Caruso’s Private Fire Crew24As a Revolutionary War Hyperfixated Child I was so jealous I didn’t get to experience the bicentennial and he’s ruined this for me!!!!
lazyllama.bsky.social23He got the World Cup, 250th, and Olympics like god damnit
Special K19Having this loud tacky buffoon in charge making everything annoying and worse is kind of the perfect metaphor for America though.
Nicholas Venture16I honestly think people are just going to ignore most, if not all the 250th stuff. I live in one of the "signature cities" for the 250th and there is just....nothing. It seems like all the America 250 stuff got thrown out and the hastily tacky Freedom 250 stuff is all there is.
Jennifer Van Goethem12I'm kinda pissed that these ridiculous choads have robbed us of our birthday party. It sucks. I hope everyone can tune it out and focus on local festivities.
BumboJumbo9The humiliation is a lesson
aust.in.limbo7Relatedly, he didn't deserve to have Artemis happen during his tenure. So many unifying moments for our nation would have been so much richer under a Harris presidency - an administration that would have celebrated the diversity of our country, not reviled it.
Evan Deaubl6Yeah, was watching a retrospective on the Artemis II mission and the launch vehicle had the America 250 logo and was just a little pissed that it attached a little bit of the stink of this administration onto this historic accomplishment. That logo is just toxic to me.
TheAwesomeHyperon4I will never NEVER stop mourning that THIS is how we are spending our milestone instead of the bright future we could have had instead. I really hope God makes it up to us by making It Happen before then.
Nicholas Weaver3May I suggest fleeing the country for the 4th of July, it is a very appealing option.
Lydy2I was 14 in 1976. I remember, on New Year's Eve of that year, my girlfriend and I yelling "Bye Bye BiCentennial" as the clock struck 12. We were so thoroughly sick of it. I never thought I'd be nostalgic for it, but gods, I so am.
I need a new faux name2It’s not the 250th anniversary. We made it to 249, which is not a bad run. This is year 1 of some other bullshit.
shit-the-nyt-says.bsky.social2Let's just do a do-over later
Dedekind Slut2I saw this earlier today and had to stop and think, “wait, is this inappropriate for a court? Oh no it is literally just the anniversary.“
BREAKING: legendary pop icon Johnny Bravo has just announced that he is pulling out of the America 250th Anniversary celebration. #DonaldTrump
Flemming Erik Carlson33Doesn’t sound like it’s gonna be a Sunshine Day! What’s The Partridge’s up to?
bellatv27THIS JUST IN: 'The Pink Panther', via his agent, has just announced he is pulling out of the America 250th Anniversary celebration.
Edward R. Murrow-ish 🎙️23That is a shame but honestly, I’d much rather McDonald Tramp’s father pulled out some 80 years ago.

meegbear2Hopefully they can find someone who fits the suit in time
black10knight49.bsky.social2Excellent. He can't even negotiate with Iran, North Korea nor musicians, nor bring gas prices down.
Trump may cancel the Freedom 250 concerts now no one wants to play and replace them with him talking bullshit. “The fact is that I am, according to many, the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World” who gets “much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime” and “does so without a guitar.”
Mark Chadbourn109In his own deranged words:
24,805 words32I was saying to my wife today that the fact we aren’t being slammed with ads from companies trying to associate with the 250th suggests a lot of CEOs realized they wouldn’t want to be tied at the hip to Trump.
Mopolis10A narcissistic person will never know that he's being canceled. Sad.
Pere Jes7It's sad when someone lives under such self delusion. Increasingly, DJT resembles one of those tragic film characters detached from the real world like Gloria Swanson played in "Sunset Boulevard." On the other hand, there's that nagging issue of his access to our nuclear warheads.
Renee Babcock6If he tries to do the pelvic thrust I'm outta here.
Ianrobo5if it was Obama the biggest names possible would have been lining up !!
Martin Robertson4The worlds biggest psychopath. He believes he is a god, Elvis and the wittiest man who ever lived. He demands worship.
Mona4The crowd will be cheering as he dances to a catchy song, sung by no other than his daughter in law…
BrianinFrance4The fact is that Trump is, according to many, the Number One enemy anywhere in the World.

NM Anderson3What a pathetic human being!!!! And I’m not ONLY referring to the demented narcissist, but even more importantly to the demented narcissistic cult that still support him!!!
Brian 323Literally dozens of people are heartbroken at the artists dropping off the bill...
Mean Bean Machine3I’m sure he could still get hologram Ozzy and hologram KISS.
OldOhMan2His name goes off the Kennedy Center and he says he doesn't want anything to do with it anyway. Acts pull out of his birthday party/UFC event and he says he didn't want overpaid, B-listers anyway. There's a pattern.

The 250th anniversary of the United States is not a tribute to Donald Trump. It belongs to the American people, not the president’s ego. Public office is not a talent show, taxpayers are not an audience, and national celebrations are not campaign rallies.
[REDACTED] Bitch 🏳️⚧️7Speech will include the following mentions: Economy Biden Low IQs Iran Actual war crime threats 2 to 3 days 2 to 3 weeks Awful Nasty Terrible Obliterated and Trump(repeatedly) Donald J Trump(repeatedly) Greatest and best(repeatedly) and possibly yet another fake attempt on his life.
Conscientious Ice🧊5So it's back to just being a MAGA rally.
Chris Barrett4Delusional, even by his standards, and that's saying something.
Integrity732TRUMP LIVES FOR CONNING AMERICANS AND BOOSTING HIS EGO!
Teri Cloth 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 🦋 🫘2No one has used the word yips since Elvis died 49 years ago from bad diet and drug choices.
In 1997 I saw Weird Al Yankovic play at the Big E, more or less a state fair for all of New England. It’s insane that a random multi state fair is able to pull way better talent than the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the USA.
The Fig Economy31Al even made fun of how penny ante a gig it was. “My manager asked me where I most wanted to play in the world. I said it’s not gonna happen but I’d love to play the Big E. He said what if I told you I could get you the Big E? I said don’t toy with me, man!”
Dr. Sheila Addison3I saw him at the Alameda County fair in 2014 or so! Not even the California State Fair, just the county!
Matt Baldwin2The annual Del Mar fair here in San Diego manages to pull some pretty solid talent every year, and it’s basically just a local county fair.
