(CNN) I think it's safe to say that President Donald Trump wants this July 4th to be all about him. At least that's the impression I got reading his Sunday morning tweet about the summer holiday celebration he is planning: "HOLD THE DATE! We will be having one of the biggest gatherings in the history of Washington, D.C., on July 4th. It will be called "A Salute To America" and will be held at the Lincoln Memorial. Major fireworks display, entertainment and an address by your favorite President, me!"

While it'd be wonderful if Trump's proposed event was actually about celebrating the founding of our country, given Trump's tendency to make nearly everything about himself, this seems highly unlikely.

Trump's tweet reveals details about the celebration he has in mind. He's promising to organize "one of the biggest gatherings in the history of Washington, D.C." at the Lincoln Memorial -- complete with a "Major fireworks display" and "entertainment." And if you had any doubt what this so-called "Salute to America" is really all about, Trump made it clear by telling us how this event will be headlined -- with "an address by your favorite President, me!"

Trump's tweet about his planned July 4th rally was followed a short time later by tweets about North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, a man who imprisons , tortures and kills those accused of "political crimes." In one such tweet , Trump bragged that he has a "Great relationship with Chairman Kim!! "

Trump's call for the "biggest gathering in the history of Washington," where he can address thousands of Americans at once, made me think of Kim's massive rally in 2017 , where thousands of North Koreans gathered to hear Kim speak and pledge their loyalty to him. Perhaps, come July 4th, Trump wants the American people to show him the same "love" and "great fervor," as Trump put it , that North Koreans have for Kim?!
