Trump Hijacks America's 250th Birthday, Then Artists Flee — Leaving Him With Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli
Trump created "Freedom 250" as a rival to the congressionally established America250 commission for the nation's semiquincentennial. He booked nine artists for a "Great American State Fair" concert series on the National Mall. Five dropped out within 48 hours after discovering they'd been misled about the event being nonpartisan — leaving Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli's Fab Morvan. Trump called the departing artists "Third Rate" and "overpriced singers, who nobody wants to hear, whose music is boring," compared himself to Elvis, declared himself "the Greatest President in History (THE GOAT!)," proposed replacing the concerts with a MAGA rally, and announced he would personally headline the opening ceremony. Freedom 250 has no Congressional authorization, no independent oversight, and doesn't disclose its donors.
Trump Made 3,700 Stock Trades Worth Up to $750 Million — Then His Government Handed Those Companies Contracts and Favors
Financial disclosures reveal Trump made over 3,700 stock trades in Q1 2026 totaling $220M-$750M. The pattern: buy stock, then promote the company or award it a government contract. He bought up to $5M in Dell, told Americans to "buy a Dell computer," then the Pentagon gave Dell a $9.7B contract. He bought TKO (UFC's parent) stock, then staged a UFC fight on the White House lawn. He bought AMD stock on January 6 — a week before Commerce authorized AMD to sell chips to China. He bought Oracle stock as his administration helped Oracle secure TikTok. Jim Cramer was speechless. His investments are not in a blind trust. JD Vance's defense: "The president doesn't sit at the Oval Office on his Robinhood account." The fine for missing his disclosure deadline: $200.
