A White House insider has claimed that staff will be fired over Donald Trump's Freedom 250 event.
The MAGA event was commissioned by Donald Trump via an executive order and is set to commemorate the United States's 250th anniversary in Washington, D.C. The initiative includes highly publicized sporting and entertainment events, but its concert series has recently faced major political controversy and high-profile artist withdrawals.
Shockingly, for the president, the majority of the named headliners have dropped out of the festival, including Bret Michaels, Martina McBride, and Young MC. Many artists claimed they were told the event was non-partisan, only to later learn it was organized by the 79-year-old's non-profit. It comes after a former Trump staffer revealed his 4 chilling predictions for what the president will do next.
• Donald Trump faces more 'adult diaper' questions due to 'strange shape in pants'
• Donald Trump's new daughter-in-law has a 'life goal' that will terrify millions of Americans
However, following the disastrous lead-up to the festival, during which the musical events take place over nine days, an insider has said staff members have been canned.
"Allowing Z-list celebrities to embarrass the president like this, in a world where actual celebrities like Jason Aldean and Nicki Minaj actually support him, isn't just embarrassing, it's grossly negligent, and firings are coming," a White House insider told the Daily Mail.

"It's a circular firing squad over there. Some artists hadn't even been contractually locked down before the announcements were made," they added.
Donald Trump also recently announced that he would step in as the headline act and swap the festival for a rally, claiming he could bring in "much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime."
Fuming on Truth Social, he wrote, "Cancel it," before branding the artists "overpriced" and "boring," as well as saying they "do nothing but complain."
"I am ordering my Representatives to look at the feasibility of doing an AMERICA IS BACK Rally," he raged. "Same time, same location. Only Great Patriots invited."

Furthermore, a source familiar with the festival's planning has said that the artists announcing their exit from the event are "irrelevant."
"They have been irrelevant for years, and my theory is that they just wanted their 15 minutes of fame. It was a publicity stunt," the insider remarked, "We'll get the money back. We could force them to play - we've already paid them, they are under contract - but it's not worth it."
However, despite the mass exodus, Flo Rida, C+C Music Factory, and Vanilla Ice, who has played at Mar-a-Lago numerous times, are still down to play.
Meanwhile, Trump's "painful and disabling" chronic disease was explained by a doctor following his 3-hour hospital visit.
