Regarding all the "stars" bowing out of Trump's 250th Anniversary Performance

My guess is that their agents scrutinized their contracts. And advised them not to do it.

And to withdraw before those contracts were signed and Trump would sue for breach of contract if they bowed out later.

When they show pics and videos I know I'm going to be laughing my ass off.

Sad tho, it should be the celebration of all Americans, but at this point in time, it defies the USA's true meaning.............

Truth, justice, diversity, freedom of Religion, separation of church and state, freedom of all rights, love thy neighbor, security both inside and out, et al.,

I forget who it was but 1 act said they weren’t even contacted about performing. It’s like a last minute thing thrown together. I think partly too, MAGA isn’t “cool” so they see it as a career risk at this point to attach themselves to a sinking ship.

I believe that Elton John was "booked" for the first Inaugural Ball in 2017, but he never agreed to it. He publicly repudiated the schedule with him included.
