Donald Trump: I don't Need Celebrities at Inauguration, Just 'The PEOPLE' (slams Hillary again)
The Hill ^ | 12/23/16 GMT | BY PAULINA FIROZI

Posted on 12/23/2016 4:03:46 PM PST by drewh

President-elect Donald Trump called out “the so-called ‘A’ list” celebrities he says are looking to attend his inauguration in a tweet on Thursday, suggesting he wouldn't want them there.

"The so-called 'A' list celebrities are all wanting tickets to the inauguration,” Trump tweeted. “but look what they did for Hillary Clinton, NOTHING. I want the PEOPLE!”

Few celebrities have confirmed publicly that they would not perform at Trump’s inauguration next month.

uring the tail end of the presidential campaign, Trump ripped Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for having celebrities perform at rallies on her behalf. During a rally in Hershey, Pa., just days before Election Day, Trump commented that he didn’t need any big names to draw a crowd.

He mocked Clinton’s star-studded get-out-the-vote concert that included Beyoncé, Jay Z, Big Sean, J. Cole and Chance the Rapper.

"I hear we set a new record for this building. And by the way, I didn't have to bring J-Lo or Jay-Z — the only way she gets anybody, I am here all by myself. I am here all by myself,” Trump said.

"Just me, no guitar, no piano, no nothing. But you know what we do have? It's all of us, it's all the same — we all have great ideas and great vision for our country."

I wonder who was looking to attend? Or is this just trolling the media?

Trying to make Trump poison to anyone who has a career, shameful idiots. They are further isolating themselves with these antics, they will shut thier big traps when sales go down

When Hannity was hosting the ‘support the troops’ concerts during OIF, I attended one with Montgomery Gentry, a southern rock band. There were lots of others I’ve forgotten. I remember Lee Greenwood, of course. Perhaps Martina McBride.

The really interesting thing is that, given what we know of Trump’s personality and methods, these Hollywood geniuses just may push him more and more to the right. Whereas once he was a darling of Hollywood, and perhaps sympathized with some of their leanings, he might be more inclined to give the right free rein as a f*** you to these people now.

My opinion, but I think Trump has some awesome bands lined up under strict secrecy.

Just a gut feeling, but I think it’s something Trump would do.

(I suggested this on another thread). DJT should showcase new talent at his inauguration. We Deplorables could download their music and purchase their CDs. It would knock the vile excuse for talent that dominates popular entertainment off the best seller lists.

A celebration of America’s Children at the Inauguration may be appropriate in light of the disturbing recent news about the boycotters.

Trump has always said it is “we” who won the election, so I’m not surprise that he would rather have the people around him than entertainers. Besides I bet there are thousands of supporters who have talent. :) Go Trump

This nation is too wrapped up in celebrity worship. This a good time to close that door and concentrate on good and noble entertainment, worthwhile matters patriotism.

Bring the churches, military, patriotism, and locals into the mix.

A great time to reduce today’s celebrities to a minor role.

Do you hear me Donald!!!
