Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

I understand Artists are getting “the yips” having to do with their performance on Wednesday, so I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World, the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime, and he does so without a guitar, the man who loves our Country more than anyone else, and the man who some say is the Greatest President in History (THE GOAT!), DONALD J. TRUMP, to 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! 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. So, by copy of this TRUTH, I am ordering my Representatives to look at the feasibility of doing an AMERICA IS BACK Rally on Wednesday, Washington, D.C., same time, same location. Only Great Patriots invited — It will be a Wild and Beautiful Celebration of America! President DONALD J. TRUMP

That's a lame, boring troll.

"...the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime, and he does so without a guitar..."

And with about 180 extra pounds.

Pathetic.

We will celebrate when we re-establish our democracy.
We will be dancing in the streets all over America. Spontaneous joy.
…and no one will be getting rich selling false patriotic swag wilt Made in China labels.
….and the billionaire traitors will be heading to Argentina on their jets, lust like Peter Thiel.

The P.E.D.O. In Chief is a threat to our national security. However, the truth is that nobody dares to stop him. As an observer, I personally blame his crazy wife and his even crazier Chief of Staff Ms. Susie Wiles.
They are both determined to commit elder abuse by endorsing his endless and insane behaviors by staying quiet 🙈🙉🙊 and enabling them.

and he did a little imitation, which even though he was trying to look as stupid as possible, did not even approach trump's level of cringy.

Trump’s advisers worked quickly to organize a rally, set for June 24, after several performers slated for the concert series to be held this summer on the National Mall dropped out.

🧵 NEW WaPo: Trump to headline at Freedom 250 Great American State Fair after music acts cancel.

Freedom 250 spokesperson said yesterday that Trump's Freedom 250 is 'inherently nonpolitical.'

So Trump will perform at his 'inherently nonpolitical' Freedom 250 event.

President Donald Trump will headline an opening ceremony for the Great American State Fair on the National Mall next month after many of the musical performers slated for the event canceled, citing the event’s associations with him.

The Great American State Fair — organized by Freedom 250, a Trump-aligned entity he created by executive order to plan semiquincentennial events — this week announced a lineup of performers. More than half canceled shortly thereafter, including Martina McBride and Bret Michaels, claiming they had not known about the organizing group’s connections to the president.

After Trump said on his Truth Social platform Saturday that he understood “Artists are getting ‘the yips’” about performing and suggested headlining the event himself, Danielle Alvarez, an adviser to Freedom 250, confirmed to The Washington Post that Trump will now kick off an opening event for the fair.

“As the visionary behind the Great American State Fair, we are excited to announce that President Trump will personally kick off this historic celebration on Wednesday, June 24 in an opening ceremony celebrating America’s 250th birthday,” Alvarez said in a statement first shared with The Post. She called the multiday event “a World’s Fair celebrating the people, traditions, innovations, and spirit that make America the greatest nation on Earth.”.....

Prior to Freedom 250 confirming the newly planned speech, Trump in his Truth Social post wrote that he was “thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World, the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime, and he does so without a guitar, the man who loves our Country more than anyone else, and the man who some say is the Greatest President in History (THE GOAT!), DONALD J. TRUMP, to 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!”

Trump is the star in all 3 rings, he is the clown, the trapeze artist, the barker, the strong man, the lion tamer, and the elephant. He is the Peep show, the box office that takes your dough,

and now as the world is pulling down the curtain on the American Century. he is increasingly his own audience of one.
