Trump Plans Wednesday Rally After 7 of 9 Acts Quit July 4 Concert Series

Seven of nine performers quit the newly announced 250th-anniversary concert series within 48 hours, prompting Trump to order aides to explore an “America Is Back” rally in Washington on Wednesday.
Trump framed the switch as a response to artists getting “the yips,” saying he would replace the canceled entertainment with a major speech at the same time and location.
25 Truth Social posts in about two hours also included AI-generated images and a broadside against U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, who barred the Kennedy Center from using Trump’s name without congressional approval.
The judge also temporarily blocked a planned two-year summer renovation, and Trump escalated by alleging conflicts of interest and saying Cooper should face charges.
Trump’s promise of a “wild” Washington event revived language from his Dec. 19, 2020 post urging supporters to gather before the Jan. 6 attack.
