Donald Trump: ‘I don’t want the celebrities — I want the people’

By David Sherfinski - The Washington Times - Wednesday, January 18, 2017

President-elect Donald Trump says he wants “the people” — not the celebrities — at this week’s inaugural events and that there will be crowds “rarely seen before.”

“Many of the celebrities that are saying they’re not going — they were never invited,” Mr. Trump said in an interview that aired Wednesday on “Fox & Friends.” “I don’t want the celebrities — I want the people.”

“And we have the biggest celebrities in the world there — the biggest in the world,” he said.

There will be three official presidential inaugural balls this year, compared to the 10 that President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama attended in 2009.

I need to find out where and when 3 Doors Down are playing.

They were big supporters of the troops in the Iraqi war an not scared to play the inauguration.

Good for them.

Of course they’re southern boys, but they play rock n roll.

Come 20 January, President-elect Donald Trump will be officially sworn into office, taking the title ‘President of the United States’. Hell is expected to consume America soon after.

The day before the vows are taken, as is tradition, a celebratory concert will take place featuring a whole host of celebrity performers.

We The People don’t need or want to see or hear the celebrities either!! In fact, we don’t need to spend our hard-earned money on them as well. Let the celebrities shove their Liberal, self-serving politics up their rears. The gutless ones, who let Hollyweird and others threaten them into not performing, can do without paying fans as well. Our troops face threats 24/7 and they show up to defend us.

Go Trump!

Thanks!

They’re not in their 60s.

Brings back memories of good times when I hear a song from Sam Moore.

‘Soul Man’ Sam Moore and Gospel Star Travis Greene Performing at Trump’s Inaugural Balls [VIDEO]
By Trent Fitzgerald January 17, 2017

Donald Trump’s Inaugural Committee has been keeping their performers list under wraps, But two music artists have boldly announced that they will perform at Trump’s Inaugural parties and they are not worried about any backlash.

Soul icon Sam Moore revealed to TMZ that he will perform at Trump’s Inaugural concert. The 81-year-old singer, who, as one half of 60s chart-topping duo Sam & Dave, is famous for hits like “Hold On, I’m Coming” and “Soul Man,” will perform during the “Make America Great Again!” event, which is being held on the night before the President-elect gets sworn in.

Moore says that’s he not concern about any criticism he will receive for performing at a Trump party. “As an American, I am honored to perform for President-elect Donald Trump,” he said. “I was a participant in the civil rights movement and have seen many positive changes and advancement in my 81 years of living in this wonderful country.”

Bravo, Mr. Trump.

Just wondering, and I may well have missed it, but will Diamond and Silk be there? Those two gems stuck their neck out long before it was popular to do so.

I do not spend my hard earned money on them. And haven’t for many years.And I have lived a happy life. I have no desire to know what a bunch of Hollywood homosexuals are doing or saying.
