A Cover Band For A Cover (Un)President


We've seen how much trouble toxic demagogue Donald "Rump" Trump is having lining up talent to perform at various inaugural events. Not a single true "A-lister" has signed up (chunky 55 year-old chickenhawk Toby "The Angry American" Keith will play, if only to solidify his Islamophobic cred).

Stephen Colbert noted Rump's situation last night, joking:
"Yesterday, Trump loanded his biggest act yet. None other than the one and only Bruce Springsteen (pause) cover band B Street Band...They're a perfect fit. Who better to sing for a reality show President than a man pretending to be The Boss?"
Check out the full monologue:



UPDATE: Broadway star Jennifer Holliday had agreed to perform at one of the inauguration events, but won't perform after all, having had second thoughts after coming out of her coma reflecting on Rump's hateful campaign and his continuing divisive behavior, and saying it was a "lapse in judgement."
