On July 4, 2026, the United States will mark 250 years of independence. In the lead-up to that date, the Trump regime has scheduled several Freedom 250 events, all of them jingoistic, sacrilegious, and corny as hell.

The Great American State Fair, a large national exposition set for June 25 to July 10, 2026, will take place on the National Mall. Featured performers include ’90s acts such as Vanilla Ice, Young MC, and Milli Vanilli.

I admit that back in the day I thought I was cool as I rapped “Alright stop, collaborate and listen” along with Vanilla Ice when his video was on heavy rotation on MTV. I thought Milli Vanilli had it all, great looks, fantastic dance moves, and earworm melodies, but that was before I found out that the duo was as fake as Trump’s urine-colored toupee.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, and I partied like a child. But when I became an adult, I left those cringey pop stars behind. The Trump regime is reminding me what a nerd I was back in the 90s, and really all of my life by showcasing these cheesy 90’s pop stars.

Don’t the producers of this musical abomination realize that only one member of Milli Vanilli is still alive? Fab Morvan still tours and records music, but Rob Pilatus died in 1998 from an accidental overdose involving alcohol and prescription drugs.

Don’t they realize that Milli Vanilli was one of the biggest frauds in pop music history? Their only Grammy was revoked after it came to light that they did not sing on their records.

I guess a duo of lip-synching scammers is the perfect act for a musical event organized by an administration of grifters, con artists and dirtbags.
