What a fucking disgrace. The exact type of spectacle you'd expect from the magats. Obsessed with being alpha while simultaneously the biggest fucking losers you've ever seen.
No worse than LBJ’s demolition derby arena or Carter’s Tractor-Pull-a-Palooza, except for the fact that those are totally made up and never occurred because why the hell would they ever have???

He is such an embarrassment
So we need to build a billion dollar ballroom so the president can be safe during events, but also, fuck it, just put up a temporary structure and invite 5000 people to watch a ufc fight on the lawn?

Travesty
I really wish that time travel existed just so we could see the reactions of the founding fathers to what US politics have become

With every day that passes we lean harder into Idiocracy.

You can't make this stuff up. They originally wanted the fight on July 4th, but for unknown logistical reasons it had to be moved to Trumps birthday.
Idiocracy moving briskly apace

This reminds me of that scene in Django Unchained, where the rich white plantation owner makes poor people fight each other to death for entertainment

Who would have thought that the big birthday party of the most powerful nation on earth would be reduced to something like this. They threw a good national birthday party back in 1976.
sheer stupidity
What an unbecoming thing of the office of the president

Maybe we can put exotic dancers in the East Room and swap out the Resolute Desk for a baccarat table

This motherfucker....
Let's see his DUMB ass try and get into the ring without soiling himself or falling over

Can't decide if UFC is more cringe than a WWE event would be.

I saw this before and genuinly thought it was a meme or image manipulation, lol
We need to rise up as a nation and take this fucker down

I wonder about the streaming rights to this. Will this be publicly broadcast?
replies:
Stay classy, Washington.
Now I understand why Tim Heidecker retired his character Tim Heidecker.
I used to watch UFC but the whole mAGA thing killed it for me. That and they have hardly any stars left, its just the same guys fighting eachother over and over.
This whole thing is absurd, I'm done for good now.

Romans had the collisuem and the gladiators i guess Trump has to cheap out to entertain the masses
Elect a reality tv star as president get a reality tv presidency.
(That being said, he’s not leaving)
I don't understand all the confusion and/or guffawing.
Bloodsport is the most apropos way to celebrate the founding of America.
