On This Day In 2017
Nobody wants to be seen with the President-Elect
OTDI 2017, Trump arrives in DC for his inauguration. He is reportedly furious that so many celebrities have refused his invitation to perform at his parties.
The list of entertainers who turned down the request to honor Donald Trump with their presence includes Garth Brooks, KISS, Elton John, Kanye West, R. Kelly, Jennifer Holliday, and Celine Dion.
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir agreed to come, although one brave member quit rather than be forced to perform in front of Donald Trump.
Michael Wolff reported that Trump didn’t even enjoy his own inauguration festivities because he felt so snubbed.
Well, yeah, that’s because he was snubbed.
Actually, MANY stars were scheduled to be in DC then, including Katy Perry, Amy Schumer, Scarlett Johansson, America Ferrera, Zendaya, Cher, and Julianne Moore!
But they were there to attend the anti-Trump march.
