President Trump floats hosting a massive MAGA rally for the nation's 250th anniversary after several artists pulled out of planned Freedom 250 concert events.

I’m all for this.

I want to see Trump try to stand in front of lights and stage for an extended period of time. His dementia, incontinence and physical frailty will be exposed to all. Maybe a major stroke light will be on the cards as well.

      The band Milli Vanilli was also announced as a performer, though one of its singers, Jodie Rocco, said on Thursday that the group had not been asked to appear.

      What the actual f*** is happening?

        My guess is that it’s another Four Seasons Total Landscaping debacle. Trump just says things and expects his team to make it happen. And he expects everyone around him to bow to his every whim.

        The Four Seasons thing was because he announced that he was going to be having a rally at the Four Seasons. This was clearly in reference to the Four Seasons Hotel. But he didn’t have anything booked there yet. The hotel management refused to book it. So Trump ended up at the Four Seasons Total Landscaping instead. Because the alternative would be Trump being shown as a liar.

        And this is just another instance of Trump speaking before he has anything actually booked. He expected all the artists to just bend over and agree to do the show, because that’s what normally happens when he makes demands.

          There’s two groups of people claiming the name Milli Vanilli: one is the original actual singers (including Jodie Rocco) and the other is Pilatus Morvan (plus supporting musicians). Nobody knows which group they were referring to in the announcement (though they had a picture of Pilatus Morvan) and, afaik, Pilatus Morvan hasn’t commented yet.

          Edit: Morvan, not Pilatus. Duh.
