Donald Trump says he’s “never heard of” any of the acts that were booked and bailed for his Freedom 250 concert

Donald Trump isn’t exactly a music aficionado. It’s said that he tears up listening to the soundtrack of Cats, thinks Kid Rock is cool, and, of course, loves doing his trademark double jerk-off dance to The Village People.

He’s now backtracking on the failed Great American State Fair, which is (was?) planned for the National Mall in DC starting later this month. Almost as soon as the acts were announced–all booked by the very Trumpy organization, Freedom 250–they started dropping out. Morris Day and The Time, Milli Vanilli, Young MC, The Commordores, Martina McBride, and Brett Michaels will be no-shows, saying they don’t like the partisan nature of the gig.

Who’s left? Vanilla Ice says he’ll be there. He’ll have plenty of time to play a medley of his hit. And Flo Rida hasn’t backed out yet.

Meanwhile, Trump says that he’s “never heard of” any of these days. Right. Sure.

  • Brett Michaels was a contestant on The Apprentice. He was the winner in Season 9 back in 2010.
  • Vanilli Ice has performed at Mar-a-Largo.
  • Everyone has heard of the Milli Vanilli scandal.

Trump: “I never even heard of these people. I never heard of any of them. They’re boring. I don’t even want ’em.”

At last word, the Great American State Fair will be replaced by a MAGA rally starring you-know-who.
