Donald Trump has taken to social media in a long-form post, claiming that he is set to cancel the USA's 250th birthday concert.
This comes after initial performers at the 'Freedom 250' concert started to drop out, following backlash from the public.
The President went on a rant, claiming that he could "take the place of these highly paid, Third Rate 'Artists,' and give a major speech, rallying the Country forward like I have done ever since being President!"
This is just the tip of the iceberg, as the 79-year-old said that he might replace the concert with a wide-scale MAGA rally, attacking the 'boring,' 'overpriced', performers who were supposed to be part of Freedom 250.
The move comes after news broke of Trump's plans to get his own face on a new $250 note.
Now, the 47th US President has kept himself in the news by furiously comparing it to the drama he is facing with the Kennedy Center.
Taking to Truth Social, Trump wrote: "We should have a giant MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN RALLY, for 250, instead of having overpriced singers, who nobody wants to hear, whose music is boring, and yet who do nothing but complain.
"Cancel it, just like I canceled my involvement with the failing and unsafe to be in Kennedy Center, because a Highly Conflicted, Crooked Federal Judge, said that I should not be allowed to spend my time and money in order to MAKE THE CENTER GREAT AGAIN, actually, far greater than it ever was before!"
He claimed that it would have been "nice to see a Republican/Democrat union bring it back to life," claiming that the Kennedy Centre is "broken" and "unsafe."
Trump denounced the fact that he couldn't add his name to the Board of the Center, "despite the fact that hundreds of millions of dollars of my time and money will be necessary for its successful reincarnation."
He then called for the judge responsible, Judge Cooper, to be "impeached," which would join the long list of "numerous other Crooked Judges on my cases."
Performers have started to abandon Trump's event due to political backlash and security concerns, and it looks like there may be no event at all.
The likes of Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli, and Flo Rida are still set to perform over the days-long celebration.
No, seriously.
Speaking on Saturday (May 29), Trump called himself the "GOAT," which stands for the "greatest of all time," claiming that he could take over the birthday event.
He described himself as the "Number One Attraction anywhere in the World," and then bizarrely compared himself to Elvis Presley.
He even claimed that unlike the late King of Rock and Roll, he did not need a guitar - he just needed a microphone and a good speech, claiming this would draw in "much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime."
He has told supporters to expect a speech at the rally too, explaining: "I am ordering my Representatives to look at the feasibility of doing an AMERICA IS BACK Rally,
"Same time, same location. Only Great Patriots invited – It will be a Wild and Beautiful Celebration of America!"
Trump added: "Two years ago, the United States was DEAD. Now we have the 'HOTTEST' Country anywhere in the World,
"I don't want so-called 'Artists' that get paid far too much money, who aren't happy. I only want to be surrounded by Happy People, Smart People, Successful People, and People that know how to WIN."
If that's what makes you happy, Donald.
