Trump Announces ‘Rally to End All Rallies’ After Artists Pull Out of 250th Anniversary Concerts
The rally will be held at 7 p.m. on June 24, a day before the start of “The Great American State Fair,” which is set to run from June 25 to July 10 as one of several events planned for the summer in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
The President said that he would be in attendance. He also said that Lee Greenwood and Christopher Macchio would be performing, as would the U.S. Army Band, the Armed Forces Choir, the U.S. Marine Band, and the Joint Armed Forces Chorus.
Little else is known about the newly announced rally, or who else may participate.
Rapper Vanilla Ice, who the President didn’t mention in his post, said on Fox News on Thursday that he would like to perform at the event.
“I hope so,” the rapper, also known as Robert Matthew Van Winkle, said when asked if he’ll be part of the rally. “I’m honored to even be invited for this. I’ll be there no matter what.”

DC weather: Code Orange Air Quality Alert Friday, sunny and hot with highs in the 90s
WASHINGTON – A mostly sunny and hot Friday is ahead for the Washington, D.C., region, with temperatures climbing to around 92 degrees and a Code Orange Air Quality Alert in effect for parts of the District, Maryland and Virginia.
Conditions will stay bright and dry throughout the day, though heat will build quickly by late morning. Humidity remains low for now but will increase later Friday and into the weekend.
The air quality alert covers the District of Columbia, Northern Virginia, the Maryland suburban D.C. region, the Baltimore City metro and Annapolis region, and Northeast Maryland.
A Code Orange alert means air pollution levels may become unhealthy for sensitive groups, including children, older adults and people with asthma, heart disease or other lung conditions. Officials advise limiting strenuous outdoor activity.
Overnight temperatures will stay warm as humidity continues to rise into Saturday.
Scattered showers and a few rumbles of thunder are possible Saturday evening and early Sunday before conditions dry out for much of Sunday. Seasonal temperatures return early next week, followed by another warmup midweek.
