Trump calls performers he invited to his 250th 'third‑rate artists' after withdrawals

David Seibert491

ACTUALLY... Artists are getting the icks.

Saint Sherman - The Ultimate Patriot333

He can't cope with the fact that everybody hates him.

Chris⚖️Justice184

"Bigger Than Elvis!" 😜 Freedom 250 Concert

Jason Bennett - Owner of Comics Bodega123

I so hope this turns out like his sad & pathetic birthday tank parade.

Robert Johansen116

tRump is a legend in his own mind and that is not saying much LOL

Get up, stand up80

Now if we can just get the cage fighters to back out. Maybe Trump can fight a tiger.

Cecelia Cox53

In his case, GOAT stands for Gross Odious Ancient Twit.

Rich Adrian 48

They weren't "Third-rate artists" until they backed out...

Pavlov's Other Dog 🐾🐶🎶📚📸⚾️🐐41

This couldn't be better for all. Let the demented fool ramble until he is led of the stage. Likely though, the gop will intervene and convince him somehow to stay away from that stage. But seriously, put a mic in his hand for 90 minutes and watch the world react.

Russtofferson36

That’s…not what “the yips” means…

Mind Unguent32

So the only people he can find to perform at his show is... himself?

Aloysius31

"And since I'll be the performer, I'll snag all the money that would've gone to those 'Artists'.

Kurt Weldon29

I can think of something Elvis did without a guitar that I wish Donald Trump would do.

Adam Bonin25

What event is Wednesday? I'm confused.

Brexit Bin 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇩🇪24

Is this real or satire?

He DIED today22

Just try to imagine Dwight Eisenhower saying this.

Sankofa sethros.com ⚡💀⚡22

Did he just cop to his booking agent only being able to summon third rate artists?

TheRealSparky💙🐸🇺🇸22

No self awareness or redeeming qualities whatsoever #Cankles

Daughter of an Immigrant20

I wonder how much the taxpayers will have to pay him for his performance at the event he is holding for himself?

This We Will Defend17

Trump validates the concerns of the artists that the Freedom 250 events are all about him. That, along with the soaring gas prices as a result of Trump War, should be reason enough to not go.

sdnixie.bsky.social17

What? Even the Village People won't do it?

Керрі Світ🇺🇦🇨🇦🇩🇰🇪🇺16

So “Freedom 250” was always going to be a Trump rally. Quelle surprise

Jeff16

Instructions have gone out to camera crews to only frame up the few that look like a crowd.....and ad breaks they get the few to move about and change shirts and hats.

you guys... Canadian here, but don't ya think it's time to do something about this situation? #can'tvoteyourwayouttathisone #afraidforyou #afraidforallofuseverywhere

this is so laughably pathetic man

He also wants to be surrounded by perfect specimens of white power as proven by his requirement that troops who come to his UFC birthday bash meet height and weight—plus, no doubt, color—requirements. He wants to stand out as the only ugly individual in attendance.

EmergRN10

It’s easy to see why people call him Batshit Crazy-Oval Smelly Toddler. Says he draws crowds more than ELVIS did. Says nobody loves America more? Than HIM? Yeah-No-He’s a complete moron. A bankrupting Casino Unaliver-Cash cow killah. So why wouldn’t he keep doing what he’s always done?Fleecing us!🇺🇸🦅

Doug Profitt9

This idiot is so BROKEN.

Sunset Cove9

Please do asshole so we can definitely not attend! #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

B-squad leader 💦🥩9

He can have anything money can buy, can steal with impunity, but can’t buy or steal respect. What a miserable piece of trash. This gives me joy.

West Valley Tom8

Performance on Wednesday? So every day from 6/25 to 7/10 is a Wednesday? Wtf?

GemmaGem8

We thought the seats should be filled with beautiful, stunning Drag Queens and allies all cheering and making a rukus!! They were standing up for all of us going to the Kennedy Center performances! We love them all so much!!

Kathy Byrne8

what Wednesday? these performances were to occur over a 2wk period, is he thinking of the Friday July 3rd event which airs on PBS and is arranged through the National Parks? or is it just any old Wednesday? and imagine the ego of someone thinking he’s Elvis, but then look who we’re talking about

Not4Plato8

What they cannot control, they destroy. Look for Trump to take a wrecking ball to the Kennedy Center soon.

catlynwrites.bsky.social7

I don't know what "the yips" are so had to Google it, and I see I wasn't the only one as "what are the yips" popped up before I finished typing. Sorry, you narcissistic liar, but that's not what it is. They don't want to be associated with someone who is reviled, divisive, corrupt, and incompetent.

sophieresists.bsky.social7

Artists who performed at the White House during the Obama administration: Aretha Franklin Prince Cast of Hamilton Justin Timberlake Ariana Grande Willie Nelson James Taylor Stevie Wonder Bruce Springsteen Beyoncé Bob Dylan Melissa Ethridge Usher Jennifer Hudson Kelly Clarkson Brad Paisley..

Pete Hegseth's Russian Email Account...7

Doesn’t he have an excursion to tend to, or more pardons to sell than be focused on this?? 🤦‍♂️

Michael 7

Here's the rest of the Trump post. Not sure what Wednesday the #Narcissist-In-Chief is talking about, but unless he allows enough time for all his pardoned felons to travel to DC, the attendance would be most likely just his sycophant cabinet members. And, ohhh yeah, Lindsey Graham.

Allison Whitney6

This might be funnier than calling the Pope weak on crime.

An actual Goat would be a bigger draw than would Donald.

"Look I get you're afraid I'll have you killed on site if you hit a sour note, but this about MY DAY!" I'm only 40% kidding.

Kim Eckert6

I am so sick and tired of seeing Trump's mug shot all over town.

Anu5

He really lives up to the 'goat' label constantly regurgitating trash, bleating nonstop, and wearing the horns.

Parity 🦜5

Who is paying for this event that is now closed to part of the country?

bxbx4.bsky.social5

All the words are gone

Lobsterlen5

The performances where scheduled for multiple nights is Trump going out there every night?

Polly Curley5

No, you fucking dull as ditch water wankspangle, they're not "getting the yips". No fucker wants to appear because you're a cunt. Making the US's 250th birthday all about you isn't going to help.

Shiro5

my dude invited himself to his birthday party because no one else came, wow

lincolnking.bsky.social5

If any of his family member cares at all for this old, dementing, delusional, malignant narcissist pathetically embarrassing himself & our country daily, please stage an intervention & get him to a nursing home so he can get the care he so desperately needs. He is a danger to himself & others.

OPH5

"By order of this TRUTH I hereby declare MYSELF the greatest performer of all time!"

Travis from his porch 🌻5

why was he going to force ‘highly paid Third Rate “Artists”’on us in the first place? doesn’t sound like he made a good deal for America

Dee Mack5

Definitely not passing the I am sane and the whole world love me shit.

Serienya5

This man is deeply, deeply unwell.

jcs77.bsky.social5

OMG He's going to subject the Country & audience to one of his off the wall speeches instead of performers. 🤪

Can he stay awake that long?

Maryanne4

Delusional Donnie add it again!

catlynwrites.bsky.social4

Who talks like this? A person with delusions of grandeur, among other things. In other words, a sick individual. First he's Jesus, now he's Elvis. I can't wait until I never have to hear from or about this guy again.

Geoffrey Hoytsman4

That’s not what yips means

ann withane4

...and the wannabe emperor still has no clothes...

Geddy Flea4

How do you do, fellow kids? Let’s talk about Elvis like all fans of music bands do today.

karicort.bsky.social4

I mean, 🌮 and Elvis were both into underage girls, so I’m not surprised that he makes this comparison.

Rowland Hill4

Not knowing 'yips' I looked it up. It doesn't help make sense of its rambling.

Jeff4

What the fuck is he saying exactly? I reread this again, and again, what the fuck!

Ida Funkhouser 💎4

What a totally sane and appropriate reaction

uniquespecimen.bsky.social4

So embarrassing. The country should be ashamed

supergigi.bsky.social4

I mean, if this weren't reality it would be really freaking funny 😩

Oh wow! Another great reason not to watch 😂😂😂

Obi-Wan Bon Jovi3

Traitor in Chief is so damn delusional.

Data4Miles3

So a party for losers?

OldWhiteLady3

Can't think of better way to celebrate our 250th than to listen to him spew hatred toward >60% of our population.

BeedleMama👊🏻🇺🇸🔥🙄3

What the fuck is wrong with him?! Jeeeezusssss.

rosariovpendleton.bsky.social3

He is issuing “truths” like proclamations now. Not beating the I’m not trying to be a king nonsense

Kent Tankersley3

"by copy of this TRUTH"?

Lummus Cain3

Wow.😲 This is not a well man. This is mental illness left unchecked. Certainly, it's also narcissistic personality disorder but this is something more. While we all expect Trump to be petulant and behave reprehensibly, this is disturbingly more.

soddruntlestuntle3

if this were a screenplay they'd reject it for being way too over the fucking top

bruffles.bsky.social3

But sir, going back to my question - Would you like fries with that?

The Tim Channel3

Dude plays a banjo so he’s not lying.

Bryan3

GOATest in history in terms of WORST POTUS EVER

“He’s world famous in Poland!”

IgLover3

What this means is he can't get anyone to perform so to save face he will do it himself.

Randall Gates3

Ol’ Willie Johnson appreciates being called the “Number One Attraction in the World.” He’s has requested though that Trump cover his bus fare from Tupelo.

Daughter of an Immigrant3

He's the only performer he could get.🤣

Kimberly from Cali3

If he's so popular why can't he get any artists to perform? Not even artists I haven't heard of since the 1990s are refusing!

Le désobéissant 🏴Ministre fantôme pour les ministres fantômes3

Will this event be taking place at the Kennedy Center?

Trump before he wrote that post.

Hey, where’s Nicki Minaj when you really need her?

Donnie's crowd sizes have been shrinking for years.

The Art Of Hobbes Prime2

Will there be tacos served?

Bob Sacemano2

they're getting the 'yips' because you made it a partisan event and not a real celebration of America. and now you want to turn our 250th anniversary into a giant trump rally when you're a literal fkng traitor to our country.

sydney2

This is so incredibly pathetic.

I guess it’s “hot” for the 1%.

This must be fake. 🤯

Tranquility Deprived2

He can shit his pants to the song “Yankee Doodle Dandy” while he does the stuck turd dance.

MATTHEW2

Incredible nonsense. And hey, folks, thanks for helping me get to 250 followers. Onto 500!

Dharwin2

What a crock of shit, he famously HATES being around successful people, because they have accomplishments. He wants to brag about how awesome he thinks he is, not listen to other people.

Timothy2

Erm is your President okay? Cos he sounds deranged.

Do you wonder about life?2

So Trump himself will be signing and dancing? I'm confused, he wrote about himself in third person?

brightshadow (regular)2

a plot twist that nobody saw coming

cleopete2

Please, someone make this crazy stop. #8647

The Grim Grinner35

He’s gonna turn it into a campaign rally and bitch about his grievances for two hours. Happy Birthday America.

anti-traitor.bsky.social31

So he intentionally hired third rate entertainers to begin with?

Dept. of Govt. Efficiency HR Staffer24

Still one of the best Onion headlines ever.

adsurg.bsky.social19

Why did they book third rate artists in the first place?

democracy4u.bsky.social16

EVERYONE "third rate" or "low IQ" or "piggy" same as a 6 yr old on the playground

savinator.bsky.social15

Sad to say, but I will not be celbrating the event in any form. I will celebrate with a BBQ with friends and family.

Another Day at the Barricades11

Were they third-rate when he hired them?

Lane Trippe11

From what I’ve read it’s not exactly “government sponsored”. It’s his own partisan “public-privately sponsored” event—which he misrepresented or implied to the artists is the separate BI-partisan govt sponsored event, “America 250”. “Con man’s gonna con.”

Bmorejean9

Whatever. Only die hard MAGAt's, sycophants, & paid attendees will show up.

Debbie🗝️🗝️🗝️🪄🦋9

I was reading that he's going to headline it. 90 minutes of the airing of grievances. 🥳🎇🎆

ARTSTRADA MAGAZINE9

I know that the NOKINGS.COM crowd is throwing something extra special across the United States that same day!

Aaron Peters8

Third rate artists? Mostly true, but this motherfucker still booked them. His self-owns are wonderful.

Mogo7

Nobody gonna mention Vanilla Ice actually said he was excited to perform and now he's been ghosted by Drumpf? That's cold...cold as ice even.

Corpsy5

Yeah, meaning him and a long narcissistic rant in front of the cameras.

David5

So he hired third rate artists and then lied to the American public trying to push them off as A list artist., cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/05/it-a...

Debbie ❌️👑5

Go ahead - try. Can't wait to see which "A-listers"sign on....

Gail3

He’s calling them third rate artists but he invited them!

Kim Lombard Robson3

If they're so "third rate" why were they invited in the first place?

Jack3

As long as it’s all about him. That’s all that matters.

chuckedwards626.bsky.social3

My question is, if they are third rate entertainers, why choose them? Maybe it’s fair since our politicians now would be forty-fifth rate politicians.

Debbie Hemenway3

If they were third rate, why were they asked to perform?

💜Surly Dove3

He got his feelings hurt…again. Poor #manbaby

fifilarue2

He said he would give a speech. So, punishment.

@ShowMe1012

I hope someone comes up with a much better event for our 250 anniversary. 🇺🇸

Webpuppy452

CBS and Fox will be the only ones televising it ... I hope.

Linda UWSⓥ2

He probably wants public hangings of the people who dropped out.

Brandon Moore2

what im taking from this is trump hires third rate artists

June Northey 🏳️‍⚧️2

If Trump wants TONS of cheering he'd go on stage and plop dead of a heart attack right there on live TV. The cheering would be crazy loud world wide.

GibbyWantsJustice2

As I mentioned in a previous post, let him do his signature YMCA double jerk off dance. Everybody loves that.
