Trump asked his pal, Steve Wynn, to get Celine Dion for his Inaguration.

Why doesn't he try to get Donny and Marie or Dice Clay or Criss Angel to do his Inauguration?

They play the Strip.

America, how did you elect this fucking clown?

involved because she plays his casinos frequently.

Hope this isn't a "do the inaugural or forget about working for me again" threat.

Wynn is a businessperson. He has to know associating with a bigot is bad for business.

on anyone. He no longer has real leverage with any A-list Hollywood types, so he tries to get someone who does to lean on them.

But you are right, there are some people he can't buy. He will just have to be content with B-list talent. Ted Nugent is wetting his pants at the idea. There must be more musicians of this caliber available.

Trump does not represent good Americans. He represents the worst of us, but yes, America did elect him.
