Last week, it was a disaster.

This week, it's looking a bit better.

Per Variety, the White House is filling that programming gap with, well, something that probably will not surprise anyone:

The 'Freedom 250' concerts scheduled for the National Mall in Washington, D.C. have been officially canceled by President Donald J. Trump, after almost all of the artists bailed. The shows will be replaced, as he previously suggested, with a rally featuring one of his own speeches as the principal attraction.

Everybody loves (or loves to hate) a Trump speech.

To be fair, that's not all that's happening to celebrate this momentous event.

Also adding his musical talent to the bill will be Christopher Macchio, whom Trump promises will sing 'Nessun Dorma,' 'Hallelujah' (presumably the Leonard Cohen song of that name), 'Ave Maria' and 'God Bless America.'

'Not since the legendary Luciano Pavarotti has there been such a voice!' the president raved.

Trump added that the rally will also feature 'the wonderful U.S. Army Band, "Pershing's Own," and Armed Forces Choir, and "The President's Own United States Marine Band, with the Joint Armed Forces Chorus," playing 'all of your favorite Hits.'

There's also many other events going on, not all of it connected to Trump 👇

As we noted earlier this week, the rest of the "Freedom 250" offerings will include "a Great American State Fair, special events at National Parks, an Indy 500 race, high school 'Patriot Games' for high school athletes, a mobile museum, the opening of a Teddy Roosevelt Museum, a huge armada of tall ships sailing into New York Harbor, and a UFC fight on the National Mall."

Still, the concert series was supposed to be a big part.

Oh, Vanilla Ice will still be performing too! 😂
