Concerts

Vanilla Ice has been turfed from Trump’s Freedom 250 concert and replaced by…oh, dear.

With America’s 250th birthday coming up in a month, some parts of the celebrations are still in chaos, the best example being Trump’s Freedom 250 event, the Great American State Fair on the National Mall in DC.

All the artists originally booked to appear have been sacked. Even Vanilla Ice, a Trump bootlicker, has been told not to come. Instead, all the musical acts have been replaced by “the Greatest Rally EVER!” starring, yes, Donald Trump hissself.

Trump: “A Rally to end all Rallies! We don’t want singers with no talent, but big fees to put you asleep, we’ve told them all to stay home. All you want is me, a few speakers, and the Greatest Music ever played!”

“Greatest music?” Lee Greenwood (another Trump toady) will be on hand along with opera singer Christopher Macchio.

The day will also feature some military bands playing “all of your favourite hits.” Yeah, hard pass.

Grumpy Trumpy, right?
