The Internet Reacts To Mass Exodus Of Bret Michaels And Others From Trump’s ‘Freedom 250’ Concert Series

A Trump-backed Freedom 250 concert series in Washington, D.C. quickly lost most of its announced performers.

Artists including Bret Michaels, Martina McBride, and Young MC said they were concerned about the event’s partisan ties.

Several other acts also pulled out, leaving the lineup in disarray just days after launch.

The rapid dropouts highlight how Trump branding can trigger backlash and damage a public entertainment event.
