EYE OF THE STORM

- MICHAEL SNEED msneed@suntimes.com | @sneedlings

Storm warning! It’s the Donald’s birthday! He’s 72 years old. It’s also Flag Day! Are we raving? Or waving? Porn star Stormy Daniels, aka Stephanie Clifford, who claims to have had a tryst with

President Donald Trump in 2006 and is suing to tell all, is expected to hit the stage at the Admiral Theatre on Thursday night.

It’s expected Stormy will be wearing her birthday suit.

“While I am not trying to be coy, she [ Daniels] has requested that we not spoil the surprise she is planning” . . . which has something to do with the date of her performanc­e,” said Admiral Theatre spokesman

Nick Cecola, alluding, perhaps, to her “Get America Horny Again” show hitting Chicago on Trump’s birthday.

Will the porn star sing a “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” salute ( a la Marilyn

Monroe) to the man whose head she wants placed in a wringer? Will a Trump double show up? Cecola told Sneed weeks ago: “We may have a surprise guest.”

“All of Ms. Daniels’ [ five] shows [ June 14- 16] have been sold out,” said Cecola, who also claims Daniels will be the most “famous” or “infamous” performer to appear at the 90- year- old theater, which began as a Vaudeville house.

Sneedless to say . . .

Will our nation’s commander- in- grief, er . . . thief, er . . . chief, tweet Happy Birthday to the U. S. Army, with whom he shares a birthday, as he did last year?

Will first lady Melania Trump duplicate her tweet to her supporters last year requesting them to digitally sign a card for her hubby?

Will Trump’s detractors, who ostensibly hope none of his wishes come true, send Trump a one- way plane ticket to Russia?

Will the president, who was placed recently on dietary restrictio­ns and told to slash his burger buns, be allowed to chow down on some celebrator­y cake?

The Carol Burnett Show!

It was a walk down memory lane when legendary comedienne Carol Burnett walked into Alex Dana’s Rosebud on Rush eatery Monday for a bite before she hit the stage at the Chicago Theatre — and spotted her picture on the wall.

“It’s been there for decades,” said Dana. “Carol loved our first restaurant on Taylor Street years ago — and didn’t remember where it was, so decided to go to our place on Rush Street,” he said.

“She said she was so stunned to see her photograph on our wall, she decided to rearrange things. She asked us to take it down, so she could re- autograph it! It was her way of commemorat­ing the moment.”

Then the icon posed for pictures, signed autographs and promised to return.
