Donald Trump announced plans to headline a rally on the National Mall after several artists dropped out of a concert series for the 4th of July celebrations, citing the event's politicization. The concerts were organized by Freedom 250, a Trump-backed initiative, and were set to begin on June 25 as part of a larger exposition celebrating America's 250th birthday. Artists like country singer Martina McBride and glam rocker Bret Michaels withdrew, with Michaels stating that the event had become 'more divisive' than initially presented. In response, Trump described himself as 'the Number One Attraction' and is considering an 'AMERICA IS BACK Rally' to replace the artists. The event is part of a 16-day fair that will feature concert stages, state pavilions, and various attractions stretching from the US Capitol to the Washington Monument. The remaining lineup of performers has drawn sarcastic remarks on social media, as many are artists whose popularity peaked decades ago.
