The Daily Beast reports:
The State Department’s chief of protocol said Tuesday she expects parade-goers to serenade President Donald Trump with a rendition of “Happy Birthday” this month.
Monica Crowley, a former Fox News pundit whom Trump appointed, admitted on Steve Bannon’s podcast Tuesday that the Washington parade on June 14, officially to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, will also celebrate Trump’s 79th birthday.
“June 14 is a special day,” she said. “Of course, it’s the president’s birthday, so I’m sure the crowd will break out into a ‘Happy Birthday.’ Providential. And it’s also Flag Day, Steve. Meant to be. Hand of God, for sure.”

In 2017, Crowley registered as a foreign agent for a pro-Putin Ukrainian billionaire after withdrawing from consideration from a national security post when her book and PhD thesis were hit with accusations of plagiarism.
She first appeared here when she spread claims that Barack Obama is secretly Muslim. Crowley is a Project 2025 contributor.
