Donald Trump wants ‘people’, not celebrities at his inauguration.
President-Elect Trump made it clear in a tweet on Friday that he doesn’t want “so-called ‘A’ list celebrities” at his inauguration on 20 January. He tweeted that all the celebrities want tickets to his inauguration, but that he doesn’t need them there, since they did “NOTHING” for Hillary Clinton.
The so-called "A" list celebrities are all wanting tixs to the inauguration, but look what they did for Hillary, NOTHING. I want the PEOPLE!

The inaugural committee has been having a hard time getting anyone famous to perform at Trump’s inauguration. So far, only 16-year-old America’s Got Talent runner-up from 2010 Jackie Evancho, the Rocketttes, and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir have been scheduled to perform at the event.
Celebrities like Elton John, Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli, Garth Brooks, Ice T, John Legend and KISS have all stated that they would not perform.
In the past, performers at the inauguration included big names like Beyoncé, Aretha Franklin, Jay Z, Mariah Carey, Bob Dylan, Mary J. Blige, Stevie Wonder, Kelly Clarkson and James Taylor.
On Friday Alec Baldwin jokingly tweeted that he would perform, but only if he is allowed to sing the ACDC song, Highway To Hell.
I wanna perform at Trump's inauguration.
I wanna sing HIGHWAY TO HELLhttps://t.co/fCTArIajFb— ABFoundation (@ABFalecbaldwin) December 23, 2016
Oh Boo-hoo, Mr. Trump. ???
Celebrities wanting tickets to your inauguration. As if.
As in! ???
Well, the mormons av subtle hints of supporting Trump’s manifesto in their tenets so no surprises there. BTW, the choir IS good, but they are not all that. Vienna Boys are the realest MVPs
Hian Osas ogini? We know he is the President. We have already dealt with it, warris ya own?
In his case, inexperience isn’t even a virtue. Mschewww.
After they’ve all declined to perform? #painment ?
Abegi, we nor need celine dion. Jay z and the a list celebrities, they truly were useless to hilary, please for the record, let’s all know Trump will be one great defining president of the US, and meanwhile when last did you guys hear angels sing, pls try to watch the innaugration, those people bring down heaven when they sing, the a list my ass celebrities should go and die, Trump is president deal with it bitches!
A runner-up? Not even the winner? Well, haven’t we started on a good note.
I can’t wait to see what mormon tabernacle has to present, those guys are a choir of angels on earth
Drama! Drama!
Who does he think he is fooling? No one wants to perform at your inauguration and then you turn it around and say you dont need them there. This man is a clown shaa.
They don’t even want to be there! Durrgh!
Look at the orange ape in a suit!
Why would any A-list celebrity even want to associate themselves with you? Some stains just don’t come off.
@ambi you can’t compare mormon choir with vienna, the boys in vienna are dope, but then, mormon tabernacle is the only choir in the world that re arrange all their musical scores to fit the 12 parts of the choir instead of our usual SATB, they have 3 soprano parts, 3 alto parts, 3 tenor parts and 3 bass parts, I can say they have the best of blend after the vatican choir. I wish there is something close to morning tabernacle choir in Nigeria, I go just change church
Great president where? He hasn’t been great at anything ever in his life. Where exactly will this greatness spring from?
He is actually consoling himself.
A list or no A-list celebs, who that one EPP
Pinky thanks for the yuletide confetti hehehe
