Free Dumb 250

It sounded good on paper.  The Trump regime planned to have a series of concerts to lead to the big quarter-millennial anniversary of American independence next month.  Except that the performers that Trump singed up were a bunch of undertalented, washed-up hasbeens from the early nineties.  And Martina McBride.

As it turned out, all of those performers slated for Freedom 250 have been backing out one by one, and McBride was the first one to withdraw, saying that she thought she was signing up for a concert to celebrate the country when in fact she came to realize - as did all of the other performers - that Freedom 250 was a celebration of Donald Trump.  The most recent dropout was Fabrice Morvan, one half of Milli Vanilli, the infamous Afro-German duo caught lip-syncing to someone else's voices.  (Robert Pilatus, the other performer in the group, died in 1997.)  Morvan, now a successful record producer in Germany, withdrew saying that a Trump celebration is not what he signed up for.
Dude, when you've lose Fabrice Morvan, you've lost the world.  (I could name all of the other performers who bailed out, but that's not important.)
Trump decided to cancel the whole damn thing, realizing that pretty soon, all he'd have left for the concerts were bands like Trippy the Hippie, the Freakouts, Chocolate Raspberry, Dummy Mummy, Mellow Monster Music, The Elders of Sandwich, and the Candy Cigarettes.  (I have just made those band names up.)  So, instead of Freedom 250, he's going to have - you guessed it! - a rally.
Of course.
Meanwhile, Trump has been making a big deal of how most people don't realize that there's a silent "b" at the end of "dumb."
Come on, Trump, even Dan Quayle knows that.
