Trump’s “Great American State Fair” on the National Mall collapses in total humiliation as the major stars ALL bail!
As Kris Kristofferson might have put it, “Freedom 250” is just another word for a festival with few acts left to lose.
As of Friday morning, six out of the nine artists announced just days earlier for the Trump-affiliated “Great American State Fair” have now pulled out of the event.
The latest to jump ship is aging rocker Bret Michaels of Poison, who said the atmosphere around the show had turned toxic and that he was unnerved by threats pouring in over the controversial festival.
He joins headliner Martina McBride, (frankly the only artist not mining the nostalgia circuit), the Commodores, Young MC, Morris Day and The Time, and the surviving half of Milli Vanilli (Fab Morvan) in bailing on the gigs.
Trump ally Richard Grenell was especially triggered by the exodus, sharing a post lamenting the cancellations as “sad” and adding the hysterical complaint: “The intolerance is coming from your side. Why can’t you people be around people that disagree with you politically?”
The mass walkout has left the Trump-affiliated event in total disarray. What was supposed to be a big patriotic spectacle celebrating a MAGAfied 250th anniversary is turning into a complete embarrassment for Trump and his allies.
Even has-been artists dying for publicity to revive their flagging careers are running away from the in droves, with an impending sense of the event’s awfulness and the obvious use of their presence as a Trumpy political prop.
Yes, Trump’s big party is absolutely collapsing before it even starts because no one wants to be associated with it. Even Bret Michaels and Milli (RIP Vanilli) said “no thanks.”
