Trump’s 250th birthday fair loses acts, gains Trump

America’s 250th birthday party was supposed to look like a national fair with a concert bill. Instead, the lineup started leaving the group chat. Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, Young MC, Morris Day and the Commodores were among the names reported as backing out after the event’s Trump ties became a political headache. Trump’s response was not to make the fair less political; it was to float an “AMERICA IS BACK” rally with himself in the spotlight. That is the most Trump solution possible: when the band cancels, declare the microphone was the headliner all along.
