Trump team says they turned down an A-list rock band

[mac56]

A member of the R'n'R Hall Of Fame, because they'd demanded too much money.

Reported instructions were to keep it frugal so's they can give the extra to charity.

I can't help but wonder who the "A-list rock band" might have been.

1. Trump and his mouth pieces are liars.

[TheBlackAdder]

40. It's not that they demanded too much money, they demanded cash up front (or a cashier's check)!

.


None of that playing a gig and then finding out the check bounces or was cancelled.


.

[Cattledog]

2. So you believe T**** Team?

[mac56]

7. No, not at all.

Just curious as to what name they may float if pressed for details.

[underpants]

3. BS

[Stellar]

4. Riiight!

[bettyellen]

5. Bullshit- they have more corporate contributions than any inaugural ever.

[HipChick]

6. What a load of Bullshit..

[TBA]

8. If that were true

they would name them.

[rufus dog]

9. My guess is it went down like this

They sent out requests to A Lister's. One responded flippantly with a comment like, "sure, tell them one BILLION dollars."

[Phoenix61]

27. Yes!

Exactly.

[JudyM]

34. This.

[TeamPooka]

10. How many lies there? No band, no charity, nothing there is true.

[fleur-de-lisa]

18. Exactly.

Smelled like bullshit from the beginning but when a charity was mentioned, that was a dead giveaway that it is pure nonsense.

[hibbing]

11. KISS?

[mattclearing]

35. My first guess. n/t

[Initech]

12. This could be an interesting guessing game!

[madaboutharry]

13. I saw on CNN they have $200 Million raised.

They are ridiculous.

[HoneyBadger]

15. Whoa

[PearliePoo2]

14. Oh, SURE they did!

Gotta call major BULLSHIT here.
If there's one thing the Perv craves it's CELEBRITIES!
Besides, he would refuse to pay 'em anyway 'cause, you know, they didn't perform up to expectations.

[Orsino]

16. Therefore they didn't.

That was easy.

[onenote]

17. Probably BS. But if not, I'm guessing Lynryd Skynrd -- they played at the repub convention I believe

[ProfessorGAC]

24. Eeep!

Ronnie must be rolling over in his grave. He was the opposite of a redneck regressive.

[gratuitous]

19. Trump's also claiming that the inauguration is going to be a modest affair

You know, like everything Trump does: Understated, low-key, quiet.

His knuckle-headed supporters might believe that nonsense, but the rest of can see for ourselves that the emperor is grasping for fig leaves to cover his shame.

[mercuryblues]

20. The Doors?

Prince?

[mac56]

21. I can only think of one possibility

[Sanity Claws]

28. I disagree strongly

I think Josie and the Pussycats would boycott the Don. You remember that pussy grabbing remark, don't you?

[fleur-de-lisa]

22. If there is even an ounce of truth in this

and I don't believe there is, any band approached by Team Trumputin would have demanded full payment up front. No way Cheeto would agree to that.

[Bengus81]

23. Yeah...it was the Beatles,plus two other guys.....

What a freakin LIAR!!

[Bengus81]

25. If it was a group that truly supported Trump and Republicans...

Then they would have performed for a HELL of a lot less than the million bucks Cheeto claims,maybe free. WOW,the BS and LIES is neck deep around that guy.

[world wide wally]

26. I'm sure it was a TRUMPet band

Trump and "modest" do not belong in the same text. Not even a book!
And when has Trump ever been low keyed about anything.
Truth is, he only said that after he realized that nobody worth a shit would ever celebrate his election.

[crazycatlady]

29. Ted Nugent isn't A list

[mahatmakanejeeves]

30. Sooper sekrit: it was the Castaways and the Knickerbockers.

[Different Drummer]

43. Perhaps the Thompson Twins?

[progressoid]

31. Riiiiight.

[Warren DeMontague]

32. Well, Aerosmith will play for anything, if the price is right.

[Bengus81]

36. Except Cheeto was using their music without permission....

He was on their shit list way back last spring or summer.

[Warren DeMontague]

39. there goes that hypothesis.

[Bengus81]

41. Hey Trump at this late date...define "A-list". Would that be Nickleback in your opinion?? n/t

[Dem2]

33. I care about this

Nah, not really.

[Solly Mack]

37. and by give the extra to charity do they mean Trump?

[Yavin4]

38. So, the Trump team got into a pissing contest with some band? n/t

[Bobbie Jo]

42. First rule - Anything coming from trump and/or

trump's "team," is going to be a lie.

Just makes it easier...

[mulsh]

44. sounds like another generic, non-specific lie to me.
