Trump announces rally after artists pull out of 250th anniversary celebration on National Mall [View all]

Trump announces rally after artists pull out of 250th anniversary celebration on National Mall (ABC News)

Less than 48 hours after Freedom 250 unveiled the entertainment lineup for its "Great American State Fair" in Washington, D.C., a growing number of announced performers publicly said they would not participate.

And now President Donald Trump said he's going to step in to fill that void.

Trump announced Saturday in a social media post that he would be holding a campaign rally on Wednesday "to take the place of these highly paid, Third Rate 'Artists.'"

The president said he would "give a major speech, rallying the Country forward like I have done ever since being President!"
