And then even more humiliating when Milli Vanilli was like, nah, I'm too good for this.

We're good.

Forget it.

We're not doing this.

I mean...

Yeah.

And I love, I also love how Trump is like just out and out announcing like, yeah, I'm going to do the same old shit that I always do.

Right.

As I've done, you know, give another speech as I've done since I began to lead the country or whatever it is that he said.

Like, yeah, it's not going to be a special day.

And Sagar, I feel like, you know, another president,

that hasn't made the office of the presidency all about them, you know, building monuments and putting their name on everything and, you know, instituting loyalty tests for literally every single position in the administration.

Another president you could imagine, you know, helping to put together a celebration like this that would feel nonpolitical, where you could have artists that have a different political ideology that still feel comfortable because they're like, it's not a celebration of this one man.

It's a celebration of the country and it's a celebration 250 years.

OK, we can do this.

And I'm sure all the other celebrations that we've had for, you know, the centennial and the bicentennial or whatever were like that.

But because Trump is has this authoritarian tendency to personalize everything about the office and make it all about himself, it is impossible to participate in an event like this without low key.

endorsing Trump and what Trump is all about, or getting used for his spectacle and self-aggrandizement.

And of course, this is all being hosted around his own personal birthday, so that doesn't help the matter either.

Yeah, it's actually funny.
