nation&rsquo;s 250th anniversary, which has similarly become politicised by Trump&rsquo;s central role. Trump allies sidestepped a bipartisan commission and congressional funding to fundraise and organise events through their own vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Musicians and states dropped out of participating in the 250 events, so that the headliner would be Trump himself holding another rally on the National Mall. Renovations of the Reflecting Pool, the Kennedy Centre, parks and fountains, and the White House&rsquo;s East Wing are absorbing the president&rsquo;s attention &ndash; a distraction in the view of most voters and some Republican strategists and politicians.<\/p>\n<p>Hours before the fight began, Trump heralded an end to the Iran war after months of false starts and shifting deadlines. But the details of the agreement remained concealed on Sunday, with talks ongoing ahead of an official signing scheduled for Friday. The last time the administration announced a deal to stop the bombing and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, it unravelled within days.<\/p>\n<p>Trump spent the earlier hours of his birthday working to preserve the agreement after an Israeli attack in Lebanon. He also watched Fox News, criticising an interview with Democratic Senator Jack Reed and praising an appearance by former adviser Victoria Coates. He posted repeatedly on social media denouncing opposition to his embattled acting spy chief, Bill Pulte, and taking a swipe at his former lawyer, Michael Cohen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"sc-54c4a04e-0 yKpxh adWrapper noPrint sc-6f94ac39-3 fDyKLW\" data-testid=\"ad\"><small class=\"sc-54c4a04e-2 dhgkTF\">Advertisement<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-c502198b-0 NkURW\" readability=\"22\">\n<p>Trump also held a small family dinner.<\/p>\n<p>His 80th could not have been more different from his predecessor&rsquo;s, the only other president to mark that milestone in office. Public doubts about Trump&rsquo;s health and fitness have increased, polls show, but concerns do not rival those about Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>The White House has called the president&rsquo;s health &ldquo;excellent&rdquo;. Trump insists he feels the same or better than decades ago, and that he&rsquo;d be the first to admit if he ever felt otherwise. Still, he is frequently reminded of the friends around his age who are getting sick and dying, and he speaks more often of the memory of his parents and his own place in history.<\/p>\n<figure

football game or a frat house to project an image of enduring vigour, as well as to appeal to young men with unapologetic masculinity, daring critics to recoil so that his team can mock them as weak and effeminate.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I just can&rsquo;t believe that we&rsquo;re at the White House watching UFC fights,&rdquo; former UFC champion Daniel Cormier said during the broadcast. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m so filled with, like, testosterone I want to kick someone in the chest, it&rsquo;s crazy.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday night, White stood steps from the site of Martin Luther King Jr&rsquo;s &ldquo;I Have a Dream&rdquo; speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial as he separated two competitors about to brawl at the night-before news conference. Speaking to reporters ahead of Sunday&rsquo;s fight, heavyweight Josh Hokit said he might take off his pants and throw his cup at the president, perhaps as a souvenir for the Oval
