Trump Bought Stock in UFC Parent While Promoting White House Fight

financeMay 29, 202632414

President Donald Trump bought up to $50,000 of TKO Group Holdings stock while promoting a UFC event tied to his White House birthday plans, HuffPost reported. TKO Group Holdings is the parent company of the Ultimate Fighting Championship and World Wrestling Entertainment, and the purchase coincided with Trump’s promotion of a White House screening and celebration around the fight. The timing raises conflict-of-interest concerns because White House promotion can increase the parent company’s visibility and potentially benefit Trump’s personal investment, blurring the line between official events and private financial gain.

I truly don't understand what the fuck happened to Republicans. Like, you spent decades being the "law and order" party, and now your king is just flagrantly doing the corruption out in the open. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump purchased stock in the company that will receive a fortune in publicity thanks to his decision to promote an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on the White House South Lawn next month.

Trump purchased between $15,001 and $50,000 of stock of TKO Group Holdings, the parent company of UFC, on March 25, according to a HuffPost review of his May 12 financial disclosure filing.

Not to be confused with his Dell stock. Trump is using the presidency to fill his own bank account, and not a single Republican cares. No hearings, no fielding questions from either press or constituents. Disgraceful. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

If I had to suggest an explanation, it'd be this.

1-2 Promotion from the White House = market value boost. Personal stock holdings = direct financial upside. If this were anyone else, it would be an ethics scandal in every headline. But in Trumpworld, it’s just another day of normalizing corruption in plain sight. 🇺🇸💰🎭

The scale & breadth of theft, fraud, extorsion, self-dealing, insider trading is unsustainable. This is how civilizations throughout history collapsed. At what point will there be wholesale tax revolt? This cannot stand. There is no bottom. And the corrupt, complicit GOP supports him.
