WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump announced Saturday that he’s weighing whether to call off a series of musical performances planned to mark America’s 250th anniversary celebration, following withdrawals by several performers, and may opt for delivering a speech instead.
The latest artist to back out was Bret Michaels, lead singer of the rock band Poison, who on Friday became the fifth performer to pull out of the “Freedom 250” concert series. The musical events are set to run from June 25 through July 10 at Washington’s National Mall.
In a Saturday post on Truth Social, Trump floated the idea of hosting a speech and rally, describing himself as “the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World, the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime and he does so without a guitar.”
