The president\u2019s posts included a series of apparently AI-generated images, including one of him playing for the New York Knicks and dunking over New York\u2019s governor, Kathy Hochul; another of him riding a horse alongside George Washington and a Trump-branded race car tearing up the White House lawn; and one depicting the \u201cObama presidential library\u201d as a huge garbage can holding a giant trash bag.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">In two lengthy posts, Trump decried the musical artists who backed out of a summer concert series planned to celebrate the United States\u2019s 250th anniversary, and a judge\u2019s ruling finding that the Kennedy Center memorial cannot be renamed for Trump without an act of Congress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cI understand Artists are getting \u2018the yips\u2019 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 \u2018Artists,\u2019 and give a major speech, rallying the Country forward like I have done ever since being President!\u201d Trump wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">The president appeared to be referring to the concert series <a href=\"https:\/\/freedom250.org\/news\/first-round-of-star-studded-entertainment\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced<\/a> last Wednesday, which lost seven of its nine featured musical acts within 48 hours, but since none of the shows was scheduled for next Wednesday, his meaning was difficult to parse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">A spokesperson for Freedom 250, the organization Trump created to run celebrations of the nation\u2019s founding, contacted the Guardian later to say that the Wednesday in question is one next month, 24 June, when the president \u201cwill personally kick off this historic celebration\u201d at a previously unscheduled \u201copening ceremony\u201d for a 16-day fair on the National Mall. The fair was to have started a day later, on 25 June, with a concert by Martina McBride. The country star announced on Thursday that she would not perform, because, although she had been \u201cassured this was a nonpartisan event\u201d, that \u201cturned out to be misleading\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cI don\u2019t want so-called \u2018Artists\u2019 that get paid far too much money, who aren\u2019t happy,\u201d the president added. \u201cI 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, DC, same time, same location. Only Great Patriots invited \u2014 It will be a Wild and Beautiful Celebration of America!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Trump\u2019s promise that his rally will be \u201cwild\u201d echoed a tweet he issued after his 2020 election loss to urge his supporters to protest in Washington DC on 6 January 2021: \u201cBe there! Will be wild!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">After leaving his golf course later in the day, Trump resumed his social media posting spree and returned to the subject of replacing the concert series with a partisan rally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cWe 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,\u201d the president said in his 34th new post of the evening session.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">In another post, running to 718 words, Trump lamented <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2026\/may\/29\/trump-removal-name-kennedy-center\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the recent ruling<\/a> from the US district judge Christopher Cooper, who ordered the administration to take down all physical signage bearing Trump\u2019s name and eliminate any references to a \u201cTrump Kennedy Center\u201d from official materials. Cooper also temporarily blocked the center from closing this summer for a proposed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2026\/mar\/16\/kennedy-center-closing-renovation-trump\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">two-year renovation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cCan you imagine? A Barack Hussein Obama Judge named Christopher Cooper has stopped a magnificent structural and aesthetic rebuilding of The Trump Kennedy Center where Millions of Dollars of material, marble, furniture, steel, air conditioning, heating, and so much else was ordered, or soon to be ordered, with the end result being a structure that would no longer be in a potential state of collapse, rusted, rotted, and rat and bug infested, to one that would be the Finest anywhere in the World,\u201d Trump wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">The president went on to allege, among other things, that Cooper has a conflict of interest because his wife is a former federal prosecutor who served during Democratic administrations, worked for the House select committee that investigated the January 6 riot and currently represents Joe Biden. Echoing his years-long promises to prosecute his political enemies, Trump said Cooper \u201cshould be brought up on charges for not revealing these facts\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a spree of posts made to his Truth Social account on Saturday, Donald Trump lauded his administration\u2019s efforts to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":31495,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_animmysite_disable_animation":false,"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/b0b56daeee6b0cad61816e003a468c3c958bd9a1\/597_0_4167_3333\/master\/4167.jpg?width=1200&height=630&quality=85&auto=format&fit=crop&precrop=40:21,offset-x50,offset-y0&overlay-align=bottom%2Cleft&overlay-width=100p&overlay-base64=L2ltZy9zdGF0aWMvb3ZlcmxheXMvdGctZGVmYXVsdC5wbmc&enable=upscale&s=171ec332c6050f39be920e18f728a09e","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[214],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-usa-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trendifyhubusa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trendifyhubusa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trendifyhubusa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendifyhubusa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendifyhubusa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31494"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/trendifyhubusa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31494\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendifyhubusa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trendifyhubusa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendifyhubusa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendifyhubusa.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
