Donald Trump claims he "never heard of" any of the artists originally booked to play the Great American State Fair.

"I never heard of any of them. They're boring. I don't even want them...

"I don't want the music. I don't even know who they are. I don't know their music, I don't wanna know their music.

"But no, a couple of them said, 'We don't want anything that's partisan.' I said, 'That's OK, go someplace else. And we're not looking to be partisan. We're celebrating the country, but we're going to do a rally, a great beautiful rally to 250—250 years—and it's gonna be great, and I think we'll get much bigger crowds."
