...because they are hoping to do better than Kid Rock and Ted Nugent..."

Boris Ephsteyn, a spokesman for the Trump transition team, denied the president-elect is hoping for a high-caliber celebrity to serenade him on his inauguration night.

“We are focused on organizing an exciting and uniting celebration of freedom and democracy while following all rules, regulations and appropriate standards of conduct,” Ephsteyn told the Wrap.

Musicians Lee Greenwood and Garth Brooks are reportedly already speaking with transition officials, but a source told the Wrap Trump’s team hopes “to do better than Kid Rock and Ted Nugent,” two performers who supported Trump’s campaign. The source also suggested aides are looking for high-profile performers “like Justin Timberlake and Bruno Mars.”

Timberlake, along with wife Jessica Biel, were active supporters of Trump’s rival Hillary Clinton during the campaign, attending a fundraiser for the Democratic candidate in August. As for Mars, a website reported in November that there is a “total lack of information regarding [his] religion and political beliefs.”

1. Ted will be doing trumps favorite

[TexasTowelie]

2. My brother and I were discussing which musicians would be part of the event

and I mentioned Greenwood. I should have made a bet with him so I would have cleaned up.

[TwilightZone]

3. It's like a triple vortex of suck

God Bless the USA is the worst song ever recorded.

8. Righties love it. I think repugs would treat greenwood like Beyonc on the dems side

Not kidding. Middle America uses this song as their anthem.

[TwilightZone]

9. Oh, I know they do.

I spent 35 years in Greenwood country, living around dopes who think it's the best song ever.

4. That song creeps me my kids had to sing it every morning at their school instead of traditional

Along with some altered pledge to the flag.

5. Oh god. THAT song. When I was in the Army during the first Gulf War

That started playing it after taps at 5:00. At first no one was sure if it was a part of formation or how we were supposed to stand. After several weeks finally I turned to our Chief Scout (my section leader) and said, "Do we really need to stand here and listen to this crap?" He said we could fall out as usual.

HATE that song.

[Blanks]

6. It's a bit like disco music...

At one time EVERYONE liked it. I remember it was used in Reagan's '84 campaign, and there were lots of flags and saluting and shit like that.

I think that ship has sailed. It's time to pick a new republican theme song. I recommend something by Weird Al.

7. Trump should go all the way Citizen Kane

Have Melania sing.

[Miles Archer]

10. And I JUST SO HAPPEN TO HAVE "leaked" rehearsal footage from her performance.

[Paladin]

11. All I'll be interested in seeing that day are the street protests.

I understand that Guy Fawkes masks are already getting hard to find in the D.C. / Virginia / Maryland area.

[Initech]

12. See America? You could have done the right thing and voted for Hillary...

And you could have got any number of great musicians who would be happy to play the inauguration like Bruce Springsteen or Neil Young. But nope you voted for Orange Hitler and we have to scrape from the bottom of the barrel and we're stuck with Lee Greenwood and Ted Nugent.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

13. If only he hadn't stiffed the bill with the North Korean style kids propoganda troupe, he'd be set.

No, it's true. He actually refused to pay the kids lip-syncing praises to Dear Leader Trump. That's how pathetic a man he is.

USA Freedom Kids Are in Dispute With Trump


By KAREN ZRAICKJULY 27, 2016


A patriotic song-and-dance routine by a trio of young girls at a Donald J. Trump rally in Pensacola, Fla., in January drew huge numbers of views online.

But now, the manager of the group, known as USA Freedom Kids, says the campaign broke a verbal agreement over the chance to perform a second time. He is considering a lawsuit.

The manager, Jeff Popick, 54, a real estate developer in Marco Island, Fla., said on Tuesday that more than six months of back-and-forth with the Trump campaign had hit an impasse.

“It really is rather mind-boggling that he has outright forsaken the USA Freedom Kids,” he said in a phone interview. His plan to sue was first reported by The Washington Post.
