“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,” Trump, 79, posted on Saturday.

The president then went on to reveal who the main attraction was, bizarrely writing about himself in the third person: “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.”

Though the 79-year-old president referred to an event taking place “on Wednesday,” he appeared to be referencing the Great American State Fair, a festival scheduled to run on the National Mall between June 25 and July 10.

Nine acts, including country star Martina McBride, rapper Young MC, and Poison frontman Bret Michaels, were announced this week as musical guests, but two-thirds have since canceled their appearances.

Trump billed his post as an official decree, saying that “by copy of this TRUTH” he was ordering his representatives to see if he can hold an “AMERICA IS BACK” rally in Washington, D.C., at the “same time, same location.”

“I don’t want so-called ‘Artists’ that get paid far too much money, who aren’t happy,” he wrote.
