Twitterati unforgiving as Donald Trump’s dig at ‘A-list celebs’ for not performing at his inaugural ceremony backfires

Miffed by such reports and star brigade not agreeing to be part of the ceremony, Trump took to Twitter to express his anger. The billionaire businessman on the micro-blogging site wrote, “The so-called “A” list celebrities are all wanting tixs to the inauguration, but look what they did for Hillary, NOTHING. I want the PEOPLE!”

As soon as Trump shared his views, tweeple could not take it anymore; they started trolling and slamming the President-elect and some even called him “the child president”!

According to the Wrap, the Republican’s inauguration has been a tough sell to people in the show business industry, as many of the acts who turned down the high-profile assignment did so out of not wanting to ‘normalise’ Trump’s reign as president.

Many stars openly supported Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, and hence Trump’s dig at “A” list celebrities is quite evident. From Ketty Perry to Beyoncé to JK Rowling—all pitched their support for Clinton even after she was defeated in the November 8 election.

The so-called “A” list celebrities are all wanting tixs to the inauguration, but look what they did for Hillary, NOTHING. I want the PEOPLE!

As of now, the Trump-brigade has only managed to secure performances by 16-year-old opera star and America’s Got Talent alumna Jackie Evancho, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Radio City Rockettes.

With less than a month away from the D-day, people are not sure who will be performing at the ceremony, but till then the ‘salty’ tweet from the President-elect has kept Netizens busy trolling.

Here’s how Twitterati reacted:

@realDonaldTrump the Child President

“tixs,” for those not “in the know,” is short for “ticketses.” https://t.co/OdMvCBdMwR

.@realDonaldTrump If you weren’t our next president, your extreme pettiness would be highly amusing

Hard to process that the next president is both a conscienceless threat to the republic and also a heartbreakingly weak & sad broken soul https://t.co/1m8pYBlVy2

@realDonaldTrump what’s it like being the only president to have the raging insecurity of a tween in the awkward phase? pic.twitter.com/l89AlOjWZo

.@realDonaldTrump Baby, if you keep tossing around these vague, self-aggrandizing claims people might start thinking you’re full of baloney.

@realDonaldTrump Spreading disinformation once AGAIN. Accept the fact that high-profile individuals do not WANT to attend your inauguration!

— Ron Pragides (@mrp) December 23, 2016

@realDonaldTrump You need to stay off Twitter, pal. This is what you deem important, when half the world is crumbling around us. Clueless.

@realDonaldTrump No need to lie. It’s okay no one wants to come to your party. We’ve all been there. I mean, not those of us with friends.

@realDonaldTrump I hope David Blaine performs and makes you disappear
