"Trump, in collaboration with Freedom 250, the political group he launched to supplant the congressionally established organization overseeing the semiquincentennial, has turned America’s 250th birthday into a celebration of himself. After several musical acts originally slated to perform on Wednesday dropped out earlier this month in response to this politicization, Trump announced that he would be the night’s main attraction at what he termed “the Greatest Rally, EVER.” "

"NBC News estimated attendance at “more than 1,000,” while The Washington Post reported that “the crowd thinly covered an area about the length of the National Museum of American History, smaller than some summer outdoor movie screenings.”

The Post further reported that the president “did not appear to enjoy the speech” and “wrapped in under a half-hour,” adding:

He asked for a bigger turnout for his next appearance on July 4."

He ain't too proud to beg.
