Trump’s UFC fight BACKFIRES in HUGE humiliation | Another Day

Donald Trump is hosting UFC fights at the White House this weekend for his 80th birthday.Gosh, remember when Obama wore a tan suit?Now THAT was unpresidential.This is just another day.Over the years, society has witnessed its fair share of historic fights.The Rumble in the Jungle, the Thrilla in Manila, and this weekend, it looks like we've got the melee in the Beltway.

What's happening in DC?Well, it's the UFC Freedom 250.It's a series of MMA fights that are scheduled for this weekend at the White House on the South Lawn.

figured, why not bring the sporting events to him?I'm guessing by the midterms, he'll have a putting green in the Lincoln bathroom.Honestly, what is the difference between Donald Trump and Timothee Chalamet at this point, other than the fact that Chalamet actually sleeps in the same bed as his partner?But maybe I'm being too cynical and missing what this expensive spectacle is really all about.

is the impossible.That someone tells you you can't do that, or that's never going to happen.The whole idea of America is audacious.But then beyond that, everything we've done since then as a nation, time and again, how can you achieve some of the things, you know, we're going to put a man on the moon.

Yes, for it's the duty of all Americans to ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for the UFC.My God, Marco, the only way this wouldbe remotely similar to what Kennedy did is if just before Apollo 11 took off, JFK coordinated with Neil Armstrong to find ways to profit off the moon landing.

Shares in TKO Holdings, the UFC's parent company, were added to Trump's portfolio back in March.Just a few weeks later, the president began promoting the UFC White House event and praising the UFC.Trump's Super PAC is now hosting a fundraiser the night before at a million dollars per person.

And President Trump himself is financially entangled in the UFC, owning significant stock in its parent company.And his administration has also announced new partnerships with the UFC.The State Department launching a sports diplomacy program with them and the FBI welcoming UFC fighters to train federal agents in hand -to -hand combat.

FBI agents are going to be trained by UFC fighters?Wow.That sounds like the kind of idea someone would come up with when they were completely sober.Now, one other detail of note is that of the seven fights scheduled Sunday night, none of them include women, which I guess makes sense.Donald Trump is only cool with the abuse of females when he gets to be an active participant.But what could be more fitting for Donald Trump than being perched up on high while the plebes kill each other for his entertainment?

Isn't that essentially what those ICE raids in Minnesota were, without the marketing budget?I just thank God that the fate of these gladiators isn't decided by which way the emperor points his thumb because I don't think there are binoculars strong enough to make out what his tiny hands are gesturing.Wait, am I supposed to be killed or is that just a wart on the bottom of his palm?And why are his hands black?But while some people are looking forward to this octogenarian's octagon -based festivities this weekend, others see a few troubling details.

fight is on Trump's birthday, but it also is meant to commemorate the 250th signing of the Declaration of Independence.How is this honoring what the Founding Fathers had in mind?

Now, to be fair, those guys WERE cool with owning slaves, so let's not pretend our nation's oldest politicians were so averse to violence.But I would agree that this $60 million dollar claw erected on the lawn of the People's House doesn't exactly sit well with me either.And I'm not the only one.

In a last ditch effort, a legal advocacy group brought a lawsuit to stop this event White House south lawn.They call it ugly, they call it grotesque.The judge is saying that's not good enough to actually bring a valid legal challenge here.

Well, that seems fair.I mean, if you could sue on account of something ugly and grotesque being at the White House, this guy would be drowning in legal fees.But it's not just this group or millions of other Americans who don't approve of this weekend's fight.Apparently God has also taken issue with his poor allocation of federal resources and is making it known.The forecast for Sunday is extreme heat with possible thunderstorms.But, if history is any indicator, even a brief stormy appearance won't stop the president from coming.

And rain isn't just bad news for this UFC fight, it's also bad news for Melania, because it means NOW she has to run around town looking for her own umbrella before Sunday.Now, obviously, outside of a possible cancellation being a disappointment for the president, there's the whole issue of safety.Not that Trump really cares.It stands to reason that if a man is okay with watching millions of Americans get kicked off their healthcare, he's more than fine with it.a handful suffer inside a cage.But regardless, major injuries could occur.

Don't forget, these are going to be enormous men, drenched in sweat, who as a result of the rain could be slipping and sliding all over the place, bodies intertwined in a barbaric display of hedonistic violence as their gargantuan, veiny hands grasp for even the tiniest morsel of well -toned flesh.Oh, hey Lindsay.So we've got safety concerns and self -dealing, not to mention massive road closures around the entire DC area.Can someone please sell me on how this UFC 250 actually makes sense?

You have the opportunity to have a fight at the White House.Obama, Trump, Bush, Reagan, no matter who's in there.You wouldn't do it?Why would you not do it?

I don't know, maybe because it's not the greatest look for the Commander -in -Chief to hold private for -profit sporting events on the White House grounds on his birthday when millions of Americans around the country are trying to figure out how they're going to afford filling up their gas tank just to get to work?Just a thought.But here's the thing.I'm not one of those people that's gonna sit here and belittle the UFC as some silly niche sport with a minuscule audience.It is massive.UFC generates billions in annual revenue and has multi -billion dollar media contracts.

A far cry when it was derided as human cockfighting by Senator John McCain.Easy, Lindsey.No, my issue is not with the sport itself, but the speed with which all of this came together.According to Dana White, he said the two men were watching an event when Mr. Trump leaned over to him and said, we should do a fight at the White House.And so literally, that was a Saturday.On Monday, the White House started calling, saying, let's start getting the logistics.

That is how fast Donald Trump can move when he wants to make something happen.I mean, not physically.His balloon ankles keep his walking pace set at a slow shuffle.but when he wants to enact a plan, the president's a guy who gets it done.There is no law that can stand in his way, no section of the constitution that could give him pause, no appearance of corruption that could cause him a moment, even a moment, of hesitation.But the problem is, all of his efforts are focused on things that are going to help him, that make him rich, make him more famous.

So when Donald Trump doesn't deliver for everyday Americans, it is not because he can't, it's because he chooses not to.If Donald Trump wanted to lower the cost of gas, of groceries, of housing, if he wanted to find more money for food assistance, for education, for cancer research, he could, but none of those issues benefit him.spirit, it's just another example of Donald Trump using taxpayer dollars to enrich himself and his billionaire friends.Plain and simple, what Americans are about to witness this Sunday is nothing more than one big sweaty jerk -off.What a surprise.Before you go, I'm very excited to announce that I've written a new book titled The Day After, How to Wield Power in a Post -Trump World.

The book explores what is, in my opinion, the single most important theme that we're dealing with in politics today and moving forward.Power.Specifically, how Republicans abuse it and how Democrats refuse to wield it.This book explains how we got here and more importantly, how we should finally wield power if we're fortunate enough to get it back.It is the blueprint for progressives who want to do far more than just restore the status quo.a quick break.
