President Trump called for the cancellation of the planned “Freedom 250” concert series in Washington, D.C., and suggested replacing it with a giant “Make America Great Again” rally.
Trump made the remarks on Truth Social late Saturday, just days after most announced performers dropped out of the event, which was scheduled for June 25 to July 10 on the National Mall.
“We should have a giant MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN RALLY, for 250, instead of having overpriced singers, who nobody wants to hear, whose music is boring, and yet who do nothing but complain,”
Trump linked the decision to his failed attempt to take over the Kennedy Center earlier this year. A federal judge ordered the removal of Trump’s name from the center’s facade on Friday.
“Cancel it, just like I canceled my involvement with the failing and unsafe to be in Kennedy Center,” Trump posted. He criticized U.S. District Judge James Cooper as “highly conflicted” and “crooked,” called for his impeachment, and blamed him and his wife for blocking the effort to revitalize the venue.
Artists who dropped out of the Freedom 250 event include Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, The Commodores, and Young MC.The concert series was intended to mark America’s 250th anniversary but has faced significant setbacks following the wave of performer withdrawals.
