President Donald Trump turned 80 on Sunday, but there’s no indication that the milestone birthday has caused him to mellow.

Late Sunday night into Monday morning, following his hosting of an MMA event at the White House, the president engaged in one of his signature late-night Truth Social meltdowns.

Per The Daily Beast, the messages were posted as late as 4 a.m. Washington time, indicating that Trump has been “up all night.”

First, Trump declared that he will not allow reauthorization of FISA unless Congress attaches the “SAVE America Act,” which is highly unlikely.

“The Dumocrats want FISA because that’s what they used to go after me for three years during my First Term! I’m against FISA if it doesn’t come with The Save America Act (Full version!) firmly attached to it. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!, the president wrote. THE SAVE AMERICA ACT!”

Two hours later, Trump posted about the UFC event.

“The UFC at the White House last night was incredible. The weather was scheduled to be horrendous, and it turned out to be PERFECT! So much for weather predicting,” the president posted.

“The Fighters were outstanding—Bo Nickal, Justin Gaethje, Ciryl Gane, Sean O’Malley, Josh Hokit, Mauricio Ruffy, and Diego Lopes were all unbelievable! Most people have never seen anything like that kind of human speed and power before. The White House has never looked more beautiful. The setting was unsurpassed! Congratulations to Dana White, and his unbelievable UFC. One of the most exciting days in the History of our fabled White House!”

He did not, however, mention Hokit’s post-fight declaration, in which he described Michelle Obama as “a man.”

Then, in the morning, Trump announced that the “‘kick off’ of our summer long Celebration of 250 Years of American Independence” would take place on June 24, headlined by country singer John Early, after which he announced that the official July 4 event would serve as both a “Trump rally” and “TRIBUTE TO AMERICA.”

“Starting at 7 P.M. EST, this HUGE Celebration will honor our Country’s People, Spirit, Strength, Resolve, and Triumphs. With the backdrop of the Lincoln Memorial and surrounding the beautifully new Reflecting Pool, more than 300 Members of our strong and talented Military Bands, Orchestras, and Ceremonial Units, will perform Patriotic Melodies and American Classics, and my Playlist (We will have none of those people that put you to sleep and constantly complain!), as we celebrate our Country, and Rally into the next 250 years. ”
