6:29Now PlayingTrump’s big America 250 celebration lineup started with acts like Vanilla Ice, Flo Rida, Milli Vanilli, The Commodores, Young MC, Morris Day and The Time, Martina McBride, and Bret Michaels, then the bill started collapsing almost immediately. Multiple performers said they were not doing it, some apparently after learning what the event actually was. Meanwhile, Springsteen’s Power to the People festival has artists who actually want to be there. Trump got the state fair version of patriotism, and even that is losing acts. Ring of Fire's Josh G. explains.
