Bill Maher Brutally Mocks Trump’s Disastrous Freedom 250 Concert

Before accused sexual harasser Neil deGrasse Tyson joined the show for a softball interview, “Real Time” host Bill Maher dedicated a large chunk of his monologue Friday night to President Trump’s unfortunate Freedom 250 concert series on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., honoring America’s 250th birthday on July 6.

“We’re having a 250th birthday party for America. A concert,” offered Maher. “They announced the lineup: Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli, Morris Day, Bret Michaels. I think this is very admirable about the president — it shows that he’s concerned for the unemployed.”

Much like Trump’s embarrassing 2017 pre-inauguration concert, which boasted the likes of The Piano Guys and someone called DJ Ravidrums, his Freedom 250 Concert has been plagued by a large number of dropouts, with numerous artists alleging they were misled and unaware of Trump’s involvement before signing on. Rocker Bret Michaels, R&B group The Commodores, rapper Young MC, Morris Day and the Time, and the original singers of Milli Vanilli have all announced they’re pulling out of the show. Country star Martina McBride took to Twitter to announce she was bowing out, writing, “I was presented with an opportunity to perform at a nonpartisan event but that turned out to be misleading.”

Cue Maher: “And then, after they announced this all-star lineup, a lot of them said, ‘No, what are you talking about? We’re not playing.’ That’s got to hurt a lot when you can’t close the deal with Milli Vanilli.”

In addition to Milli Vanilli’s Fab Morvan, who rather infamously only lip-synced on the group’s albums, rappers Vanilla Ice and Flo Rida are still scheduled to perform at the Freedom 250 concert series, which will run June 25 to July 10.

And Maher wasn’t done taking shots at Trump.

“Here’s something in the category of wow, we never used to be this country: They’re putting out a $250 bill with Trump’s face on it,” he cracked. “I guess it’s commemorative. Republicans in Congress are thrilled about it. They can’t wait to carry it in their wallet. What a switcheroo: having Trump’s face next to their ass.”

The Diego Luna story isn’t going away any time soon <div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">It is officially World Cup time in the United States. This should be a moment of joy and excitement. To be clear it is on some level, but there are dark clouds hovering in the national team’s sky.</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">Consider that before we even reached the month of June that the USMNT helped launch two different controversies around them that could have easily been avoided. At the very least they could have easily been mitigated.</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">At the moment there is constant chatter around manager Mauricio Pochettino and whether or not he is Milan-bound once the tournament is over. To be clear we are all adults and knew that he was not long for this job, but the optics of the situation are horrible. All involved have declared this time as the most important in United States Soccer’s lifetime and to have the figurehead of the operation being seen with a wandering eyes casts doubt.</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">This doubt came almost immediately after Pochettino upset fans around the country by leaving Diego Luna off of the team’s World Cup roster. Luna has proven his worth and justified a spot on the National Team, but even if you disagree with that you certainly believe that he at least earned the right to be told he wasn’t making it in some manner other than an email. Nevertheless, that is how he (and the others left off) <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/may/26/usmnt-world-cup-squad-mauricio-pochettino-email-players">reportedly</a> found out.</p></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">Diego spoke to SB Nation a few weeks before the roster announcement and expressed his hope and desire to make the team, something that is all the more unfortunate given what has transpired. His passion for the game of soccer at large is so evident and his latest partner in Head & Shoulders really captures that with how they allow him to express himself on the field.</p></div><div><blockquote class="duet--article--blockquote _1bij9g70 _1mt21p09"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01">Head & Shoulders knows that soccer stars can’t be distracted – even in practice – since they need to make every moment count. That’s why they trust Head & Shoulders to help them make a good first impression each time they step on the field, fighting flakes to feel confident to stay focused when the lights are brightest.</p></blockquote></div><div><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01">It is unfortunate for Diego that he is connected to the national team and what they do (or don’t do) this summer in such an awkward manner. Given how Pochettino went about it with the email, the Milan rumors, and the pressure that USMNT is under as an organization to succeed… any time anything goes wrong in even a remote way this story is going to be brought up.</p></div> #Diego #Luna #story #isnt #time
