Thursday

have already said they're not coming. Morris Day quickly announced he was not going to be there. Young MC just announced that artists were not told it would be political and he's pulling out.

Of course, several on the list in your post are already known as Trump supporters. I don't know about Jared Leto, Jason Statham or The Rock. If they do support Trump, they've at least had the good sense to be quiet about it.

Trump has a long history of caring a great deal about big splashy press announcements and then not caring much at all about the event itself.
