Trump promotes White House UFC fight for his birthday
President Donald Trump showcased detailed renderings in the Oval Office for a planned UFC-style cage fight to take place on the White House grounds on his birthday, repeatedly name-checking Justin Gaethje. He hyped the event as the 'hardest ticket I've ever had,' described fighters taking a 'pounding,' and said one competitor would be 'not in good shape.' Staging a caged mixed-martial-arts bout at the presidential residence would require major security, logistics and protocol changes. Holding a sporting spectacle at the White House shifts ceremonial norms and spotlights presidential priorities during ongoing national challenges.

I hate him so much.
Caligula. The Fall of Rome.
I fucking hate it here.
such an embarrassment to our country
Setting up another staged shooting?
Any word on the lions?
You couldn't write how fucking mental America is right now. Pure insanity
It really is the Make a Wish presidency
So we’re doing gladiators now? Awesome.
But we can't afford healthcare Fuck Trump
Everything we’re witnessing is called methodic chaos & insanity, the bankrupting of America!
There appears to be no end to his degradation of the People’s House.🤬
"He CARES for our military!" Um... where is the Tr*mp VA hospital? Where is the Tr*mp VA clinic? For a man that wants his name on virtually everything... all you hear is crickets. Military ppl die while he builds ballrooms and talks about marble & gold. He doesn't give a single f**k about you.
love how it says "CONFIDENTIAL" right at the top... but it's not like that's stopped him before
What's next? Monster truck rally?
I’d like to see the cost to the taxpayers for his party.
Remember Trump's last birthday? He threw a military parade for himself, and like 4 people (who weren't compelled to be there by force of law) showed up. But I'm guessing WWE is more popular, so there will be a bigger (but still disappointing) crowd this time.
Who’s paying for it? Us taxpayers most likely.
There's a war going on, the economy is tanking, and he is talking about UFC fights, ballrooms and arches. This country is in serious trouble.
He and his fam are the living embodiment of the saying "Money can't buy class." The sad thing is that they're enshittifying the entire country.
It's just so fun to be an American. There are at least a dozen new things to be embarrassed about every day. They'll be jet skiing in the reflecting pool any day now.
Is he paying for it himself? This is not part of what the USA 250 is suppose to be about.
Any chance we could have a day where he doesn't do dumb shit?
Please stop this maniac. He is killing us all with noxious bullcrap every damn day.
I’m never surprised that I can hate these people more with each passing day
He's obsessed with his birthday. Seriously, he's been talking about it for months. My kids did the same. When they were 5.
Every damn day the bar is lowered
Deep sigh. Can we just fast forward to 2028?
We have a deranged child Emperor as President. Any questions?
The Idiocracy prophecy is fulfilling itself so so so far ahead of time.
I hate seeing a picture of this human garbage.
I have a feeling the shot we'll get after this event is over will be -just- the ring so you won't see the empty seats.
He is like a child trapped inside a nearly 80 year old body. It's embarrassing for America. The cheapening of the WH gets worse everyday.
That makes me feel really sad 😞
What Trump has done to the White House alone is reason enough to demand his resignation. That's our house, not his.
doesn't get trashier than that
MMA has its fans, but - like porn - most people don't want it shown in public or in front of the White House
Dear god. Let’s not be that. Please.
Good to know that he's focusing on the important things (/s) while we can't afford gas, food, and much more.
He was clearly not allowed to put his drawings on the fridge as a kid. Now we all have to endure this whack ass shit every second of our damn lives.
Fake sport for a fake human
What's in the Nero and fiddle going on here?
Such a sad state of affairs that this cretin occupies the highest office in the land for our 250th. To call it déclassé doesn't even begin to describe this event.
So gross. He debases the presidency.
It looks like a scene from the move Idiocracy. He's turning the us into a nation of knuckle-draggers. God, we've sunk so low.
Who the hell will go and who the hell will watch! Hope it pours then they can have it in the billion dollar ballroom
This administration is pure trash 🗑️
Wait... It shows an actual crowd around the arena? Unlike his golf tournament?
There is simply no end to the dignity Trump brings to the office of President of the United States of America.
Literal 90's cartoon 3rd world dictator stuff....
Tacky & trashy. On brand!
The man works so hard and sacrifices so much for the American people.
It's not lost on me that the man that stole classified documents and stored them in his fucking bathroom is showing the world something that has "confidential" in the upper left corner.
His birthday? Not the 4th of july?
The Capitol Clampetts are at it again.
Thank you for fighting to lower food and medical costs.
It’s going to piss it down isn’t it🤣
He’s like a flipping toddler! Selfish and stupid! Who’s paying for all of this while Americans are struggling?
Siri: Define pathetic for me, please.
Good God... The utter ego of this man. Is something for the books.
Gee that doesn’t actually look safe for him. 🤷🏼♀️ Is he gonna be watching from the bunker?
This is so fucking pathetic
What a disgrace this guy so trashy I can’t even anymore 😒
Hopefully it's the lowest ratings ever.
His heart has the opportunity to do the greatest thing ever during the walk out for this farce.
It's very funny that between trying to put himself on currency, erect monuments to himself anywhere he sees and hosting fighting tournaments at his house, it's very clear that Street Fighter: The Movie made a lasting impression on him and he's trying to pattern himself after Raul Julia's M. Bison.
He thinks this is just how Brazilians look
Raul Julia somehow still brought straight faced dignity to that role while dying. Trump is hell-bent on removing our dignity while he kills the soul of a country while dying.
For us, 11/5/24 was one of the worst days of our lives. For him, it was Tuesday.
ironically, raul julia only did that movie because his son loved the game and he wanted to do something nice for his kid, while trump ran for president to have an even more powerful* excuse to not spend time with his own kids *than his typical one, which is "i don't love or like any of you"
Scrolling past, I thought for a second your post was about a proposal to put Raul Julia on our currency and now that’s all I can think about.
He could never pull off the "for me, it was Tuesday" line. The Weave would take over and he'd get lost for 5 mins talking about sharks or something
Minus any suave or panache.
ooh ooh ooh, can he do what Raul Julia did in that movie too? you know the part I'm talking about
“These are real warriors”, says the president as he showcases brochures of a UFC fight hosted right in front of the White House on his 80th birthday.
I really hate the White House is being used as an assisted living facility for this man.
His disconnect from reality is disturbing on an infinite scale.
Meanwhile he can't be bothered to feed the service members fighting in his stupid unnecessary war in the Middle East.
did Trump claim that he could beat them in a fight.....???
Every idea is more stupid than the last.
He is so proud of the UFC fighters real "warriors". While men and women in the military have to do the real fighting for his stupid war.
Send ‘em off to Iran
Time for his aide to give him his jello & pills & help him with the toilet.
He lives in his own little fantasy world. Crazy that he also has the nuclear codes.
It’s like the damn hunger games at the White House. Disgusting
If God had any sense, letting him turn 80 is a midtaje
I pray god every day...
