Trump reveals potential replacement for artists who bailed on state fair – himself

Artists have been pulling out of the Great American State Fair en masse after discovering the event’s ties to President Donald Trump, and as the Trump administration scrambles to replace the bailing performers, the president floated on Saturday a potential replacement – himself.“I understand Artists are getting ‘the yips’ having to do with their performance on Wednesday, so I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.“The man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime, and he does so without a guitar, the man who loves our Country more than anyone else, and the man who some say is the Greatest President in History (THE GOAT!), DONALD J. TRUMP, to take the place of these highly paid, Third Rate ‘Artists,’ and give a major speech, rallying the Country forward like I have done ever since being President!”Since announcing the lineup for the public event designed to celebrate the United States’ 250th anniversary, “nearly all” performers have dropped out, with the organization orchestrating the event, the Trump-linked Freedom 250, reportedly being purposefully vague” about the festival when reaching out to artists.In addition to his proposal of replacing the artists himself, Trump also floated the idea of holding another event concurrent to the Great American State Fair – a “America is Back Rally” at the “same time [and] same location,” though, unlike the fair, “only great patriots” would be “invited.”
