Stars like Martina McBride and The Commodores pulled out, claiming they were misled about the event’s non-partisan nature and felt it was too tied to the White House. Trump responded by mocking the departing performers as “overpriced” and “boring,” even suggesting replacing the festival with a “Make America Great Again” rally. He’s also considering attending himself to boost crowds, boasting he’s the “Number One Attraction anywhere in the World.” While some artists like Vanilla Ice and Flo Rida still plan to perform, the event’s future looks shaky — exposing the tension between national celebration and political entanglement.
