Trump birthday concert interrupted by attack from inside the movement
June 2, 2026 | Kevin Haggerty
A conservative commentator looked beyond the “embarrassing” failure of an America 250 celebration to what it really says about the “current lack of patriotism” in the nation.
“This should have been a massive, raucous celebration…”
Last week, the sudden announcement of a roster of entertainers slated to perform in Washington, D.C., to celebrate America’s 250th birthday was quickly quashed as a majority of those named publicly backed out. After President Donald Trump announced his intention to shift gears and show up as the headline of an “AMERICA IS BACK Rally,” The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh spoke up about how “pissed” the “bungled America 250” made him.
Following a series of posts over the weekend, Walsh made “Everything Wrong With The America 205 Celebrations” the focus of his podcast Monday, where he asserted “…the administration’s plan to honor the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and the birth of this country, by any measure, has fallen apart in spectacular fashion.”
“I mean, it’s hardly been an affair at all. It’s basically not happening. There is very little excitement for it,” he argued, along with saying, “…there has never been a failure of this type that is this embarrassing in the history of the United States.”
