Jane Fonda, Bette Midler, and Patti Smith set to headline 'No Kings' event on Trump's 80th birthday

The ‘No Kings’ movement is all set to pull off a national event on President Donald Trump's birthday, June 14. The event is set to feature actors and activists Jane Fonda and Bette Midler, and musicians Patti Smith, Sasha Allen, and Rufus Wainwright, as per The Hill. The event will be shown at 18 watch parties across 11 states. "We can let strongman politics and corruption define the moment. Or we can make the story of America about people coming together," the No Kings website states.

The event will include a 90-minute concert and will be held in New York City. It is being funded by the Committee for the First Amendment, a Hollywood-based advocacy group that was restarted by Fonda in October. On the same day, the U.S. President has the UFC Freedom 250. The event will take place in a 5000-seat area and an octagon on the lawn of the White House.

The card is expected to feature high-profile matches. Construction of the temporary octagon on the lawn began this week. The President has faced intense criticism from Democrats about a number of issues related to the event. Sen. Mazie Hirono shared an image of the under-construction UFC ring and accused Trump of turning the White House into his "personal playground."

Questions have also been asked of the President's recent moves in the stock market. According to a report in The Athletic, Trump spent between $15,000 and $50,000 worth of stock in TKO Holding Group, the parent company of UFC, only weeks ahead of the White House event. However, the President and his aides deny any wrongdoing. "The Fake News continued attempts to fabricate conflicts of interest are irresponsible and reinforce the public's distrust in what they read," White House spokesman Davis Ingle said.

"President Trump only acts in the best interests of the American public, which is why they overwhelmingly re-elected him to this office, despite years of lies and false accusations against him and his businesses. President Trump's assets are in a trust managed by his children. There are no conflicts of interest," he added. According to UFC President Dana White, the promotion was spending $60 million, and the UFC would also put forth $700,000 to aid restoration efforts on the South Lawn.

The Pentagon is set to recruit hundreds of troops to be spectators at the event. However, these servicemembers would be required to pay for their travel and meet certain height and weight requirements. According to the Washington Post, a memo circulated within the Air Force states personnel "MUST MEET CURRENT WAIST-HEIGHT RATIO and current physical fitness standard," to be eligible. The administration is seeking junior enlisted personnel and junior officers specifically, who make up the military's lowest pay grades.

"This will be one of the greatest and most historic sports events in history, and President Trump hosting it at the White House is a testament to his vision to celebrate America's monumental 250th anniversary," Ingle said in a statement.
