Most of the acts scheduled for the June 14th event in DC cancelled. One comment I saw attributed to one of the acts was "it has nothing to do with patriotism. it's worship of Trump".

Seems Trump is going with that idea, and, officially, making it all about himself.

Trump to cancel concert for America's 250th birthday as he announces bold plan to replace it

President Donald Trump is looking to cancel America's 250th birthday concert after artists have dropped out and instead turn it into a rally and make himself the new headliner.

Trump, 79, is ready to add another career accomplishment to his name as he called himself 'THE GOAT' – which stands for the greatest of all time – and said he would take over as the main headliner of the birthday event.

In a long Truth Social post on Saturday, he dubbed himself the 'Number One Attraction anywhere in the World' and compared himself to Elvis.

Trump, 79, is ready to add another career accomplishment to his name as he called himself 'THE GOAT' – which stands for the greatest of all time

In light of tariff and Iran wars, is THE GOAT going to be the American equivalent of ‚Gröfaz‘?

Gröfaz (or GröFaZ) is a sarcastic German acronym meaning "Größter Feldherr aller Zeiten" ("Greatest Field Commander of all Time"). It was a mocking term used in secret by the German population during World War II to ridicule Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime's obsession with complex abbreviations.

Key Facts:

Origin: The term mocked Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, who had unironically called Hitler the "Greatest Field Commander of all Time" after the successful Western Campaign in 1940.

Timing: It spread widely as dark humor among the public after the catastrophic German defeat at the Battle of Stalingrad in 1943.

Meaning: It highlighted Hitler's actual lack of military competence and his disastrous strategic decisions that led to Germany's defeat.
