President\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a><\/span>\u00a0wants to scrap America’s star-studded 250th birthday concert, replacing it with a giant MAGA rally after launching a blistering attack on what he called ‘boring’ and ‘overpriced’ performers that ‘nobody wants to hear.’<\/p>\n In a furious Truth Social post on Saturday night, Trump declared that the troubled Freedom 250 concert should be canceled and\u00a0compared it to his increasingly bitter battle over the Kennedy Center<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n ‘We should have a giant MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN RALLY, for 250, instead of having overpriced singers, who nobody wants to hear, whose music is boring, and yet who do nothing but complain,’ Trump wrote.<\/p>\n ‘Cancel it, just like I canceled my involvement with the failing and unsafe to be in Kennedy Center.’<\/p>\n Trump claims the Kennedy Center is doomed following a federal judge’s decision to\u00a0\u00a0block his efforts to reshape the iconic Washington arts venue<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n The extraordinary outburst marks the latest twist in the rapidly unraveling celebrations planned for America’s 250th anniversary next month, with performers abandoning the event in droves amid political backlash and security concerns.<\/p>\n Trump also used the post to lash out at US District Judge Christopher Cooper, who ruled Friday the administration could not proceed with plans to close the Kennedy Center for sweeping renovations and that officials\u00a0had no authority to add Trump’s name to the landmark institution<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n ‘The Kennedy Center is broken, unsafe, and $busted, and has been for many years!’ Trump wrote. ‘So now, the Kennedy Center will collapse, both structurally and financially.’<\/p>\n
