Trump calls to cancel freedom 250 concert after artists exit

President Donald Trump said he wants to cancel the Freedom 250 concert on the National Mall and replace it with a Make America Great Again rally. His comments came after several performers pulled out of the event.

Trump posted on Truth Social on Saturday that the concert should be canceled due to overpriced singers whose music is boring. He suggested holding a giant Make America Great Again rally for the 250th anniversary instead. The president also referenced a recent court ruling that blocked naming changes at the Kennedy Center and ordered removal of his name from signage there within two weeks.
