LOL! Unable to get big stars for the inauguration, Trump team now telling media he doesn't want them [View all]

Ran across this pathetically transparent excuse while checking Twiitter for Trump news this morning, when I found a Daily Caller story

http://dailycaller.com/2016/12/19/trump-reportedly-not-interested-in-hollywood-guests-and-performers-for-inauguration/

referencing the original TMZ story

http://www.tmz.com/2016/12/19/donald-trump-celebrities-inauguration-parties/

Reportedly, Trump is so focused on getting to work as President that "it's almost as if January 20 doesn't really matter to him." Uh-huh...

The lying leaking Trump team also took pains to let TMZ know that Trump himself supposedly isn't involved in planning the inauguration. After all, think how embarrassing it might be if it was too widely known that not even the Orange One himself could convince any celebrities to show up for his big party.
