Trump reveals lineup for rally replacing canceled Freedom 250 concerts

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump has revealed the lineup for a rally celebrating the nation's 250th anniversary days after a slew of musicians pulled out of performing at a Freedom 250 multi-day concert event.

In a June 4 social media post, Trump announced country singer Lee Greenwood will sing his 1984 hit "God Bless The U.S.A" at the June 24 rally before introducing the headlining act: the president himself.

"We don't want singers with no talent, but big fees to put you to sleep, we've told them all to stay home. All we want is you, me, a few speakers, and the Greatest Music ever played, the same Music you have listened to for years!" Trump wrote.

Freedom 250, the quasi-government group Trump formed to mark America's 250th birthday, was originally planning a 16-day concert series as part of an event coined the "Great America State Fair." But last week, a slew of musicians backed out of performing, with several citing the event's perceived political affiliation and confusion around what they signed up for.

1. Ewww...

2. the word caterwauling comes to mind

haven't thought of that word in decades.

potential headline "Trump play country music --- country music loses"

3. 83-year-old Lee Greenwood has been showing up at these GOP rallies since 1988 when he first sang for H.W. Bush.

9. Even before that ...

It was released as a single in 1984 and included in a film about Ronald Reagan shown at the 1984 Republican National Convention.

4. Trump could have had a 250th celebration of our country but he refused in order to make it about himself.

5. So, no caged bloodsport?

Not even with the Secretary of Education and her husband the wrestling impressario?

[Ilsa]

8. Isn't that on the 14th? There are tv ads for it. nt

11. Thank you.

Truth: In trying to follow all the sundry treasons and myriad of sordid crimes for more than a decade, I've found that I really cannot stand anything at all about Putin's Puppet.

[Ilsa]

15. I've tried to find something good or decent

about the puppet as well. I haven't been able to find anything. The oldest three spawn are almost as bad.

[Ilsa]

6. Greenwood should have declined the invitation. This will

not be pretty. "Caterwauling" might be the best word for it.

7. Is he going play records? DJ donny to the rescue?

[Vinca]

10. Isn't that special? He can shuffle on stage with his walker and Trump can do his double jerk off dance.

12. As Ron Filipkowski put it (paraphrased)

I'm surprised that Lee Greenwood can take time off his grueling world tour schedule to appear at trump's concert.

[Aristus]

13. Reminds me a little of Emperor Phillip the Arab.

He was emperor during the celebrations of one thousand years since Rome was founded. Huge milestone in the city's history. Phillip was evidently a fairly stable, conscientious ruler, unlike Trump. But he only reigned for about four years, was one of many short-lived emperors during the tumultuous Third Century, and has been largely forgotten by history.

14. Lee Greenwood has had the number-one country song in the US seven times

None of those seven songs have been "God Bless the USA."

You'd think if they were going to drag an 84-year-old man out of his retirement and have him sing songs, they'd let him sing more than one.
