Why Trump’s Inauguration Day will be better without celebs
New York Post ^ | 2017-01-14 | Salena Zito and Dana Schuster

There will be no Beyoncé wiggling on stage. Bruce Springsteen, Ariana Grande, John Legend and Elton John aren’t going to be there either. In fact, pretty much every A-lister from the Hollywood and entertainment world has decided to skip Donald Trump’s inauguration on Friday. And whether or not Trump himself is wrestling with that public rejection, the people who voted for him are not.

The “blue-collar billionaire” will have a day that’s more befitting of the working-class base that put him in the White House: one without fanfare or celebrities or fancy couture (although his wife, Melania, will most certainly be dressed to the nines). Call it the People’s Inauguration, one that celebrates the ordinary American, and that suits his fans just fine.

“They could have zero entertainment at the inauguration, and I really don’t think for one minute that it would matter,” said Leslie Rossi, of Youngstown, Pa., a state that shocked the nation when it switched from blue to red on Election Day.

Rossi, a 46-year-old mother of eight, and her husband, Michael, 51, were so confident Trump was going to win that they booked their rooms in DC last July. The Rossi family own a mechanical testing and research company in Westmoreland County that employs about 200 people. They also own the legendary “Trump House,” a nearly 100-year-old building painted entirely red, white and blue that’s guarded by a 14-foot steel cutout of Trump’s likeness.

I’m really sick of people who play pretend for millions of dollars or sing crappy songs who have no clue about real life telling the rest of us their opinions.

We don’t care what you think about issues of which you have no real grasp.

No Madonna and no half-English/half-Spanish rapping. God I hate that.

Friday morning my family is getting together (some are taking the day off) for breakfast to celebrate. Since we live in California(the home of FreeRepublic) the fun starts early. We also plan to have a couple of bottles of champagne to toast to our new president who is going to Make America Great Again!!

Celebrities lost on 11/8/16. Very few came out to support DJT. Americans who voted for Trump are not star struck.

I’m should know this, but who will be swearing Trump in as our new POTUS? I heard Justice Thomas is swearing in Pence, but wasn’t sure about Trump...

If we still still had celebs like Sinatra, Dean Martin, Hope, John Wayne...well it would be different. But today’s celebrities are worthless, and talent-less as well. Clint Eastwood is excepted from that previous, but he is very old school.

This is a great story from the Post. I suggest following the link and reading down to the very last paragraph.

Without spoiling it for anyone, this story has a sting in its tail ... at least if you’re a member of the Hollywood in crowd.

Trump should just hire a great bar band to play “Smoke On The Water”, “Tush”, and “We’re An American Band”, just like my old Jr High dances.

So Glad Trump hasn’t lowered his standards by letting these so called Entertainers into the Inauguration Day Ceremony.

The Potty Mouth Rappers and low life scum that Tinsel-Town likes to harbor these days,..... have a major lack of talent and showmanship - skills.

Keep these Liberal-degenerates away from the Triumphant Victory Celebration that all True Americans will be Enjoying! GO TRUMP! ALL The Way to VICTORY!

If we can keep them out of our homes and away from our kids, maybe they won’t be at the next inaugural either.

I wonder if Chief Justice will do it right this time without the need for a do-over.

How about Hunter Smith Band? Ex Indianapolis Colts (punter) and Christian. Would drive Meryl Strepthroat crazy and most of Hollyweird nuts.
