Only one thing, I object to the phrase "trump hate". I would prefer not having his name in a slogan about love. It is a heavy negative within the slogan intended to be positive and an ugly reminder of him.

WHAT'S TRUE: A concert promoter said that he was planning to throw a "Freedom Concert" on inauguration day.

WHAT'S FALSE: The "Freedom Concert" has not been officially announced, no major celebrities have agreed to perform, and image showing a flyer from the event is fake.
