Temporary UFC arena rises on White House lawn for Trump birthday event

good george36

We are living through the dumbest era in America… where the lowest among us hold our highest offices.

Nancy Levine Stearns29

11 U.S. senators led by Sen. Adam Schiff launched an investigation into Freedom 250 in March, demanding answers from Trump admin about allocation of $100 million in taxpayer dollars and an alleged pay-to-play scheme. Freedom 250 sponsors include Mastercard and United Airlines.

The 250th anniversary of the nation has nothing to do with idiots beating the shit out of each other and blocking one of our most iconic structures with scaffolding. In a way, idiots beating the shit out of each other is a perfect allegory for where we are as a nation, which makes me hate it more

Like he is Caesar having gladiators fight for his entertainment. cbwrong.blogspot.com?m=1

Nero, twiddling while Rome burns

And another huge waste of money. And another example of the felon's ego - just HAPPENS to fall on 14 June, which HAPPENS to be his birthday. Such a scumbag.

Dawn12

Sigh. I mean, what the fuck? That is all I have Adam. I am so way beyond over this shit excuse for a POTUS and every Republican that continues to have his balls in their mouths

Deweyswak11

A blood sport, at the White House. Pray for thunderstorms and lots of lightening.

Michael in Niagara 📎🇨🇦💪🇺🇦11

Wait until they announce “Hooters” is the sponsor.

It really fits in with the Trump brand. Trump loves fighting.😐

Violence and grandstanding is a passion of the P O S now, isn’t it?

Maria Aragon - Artist and Author7

Pray for a good, old fashioned rain and lightning storm that night, folks.

The Resistance 🚫👑🚫🧊7

This won’t be the last embarrassment he brings to the US

ravenalessia.bsky.social6

If the White House is safe enough to host a UFC fight on the White House lawn, it doesn’t require a ballroom.

Ain’t Complicit 🇺🇸6

We know why he needs increasingly bizarre public displays of idiocy

Lifelong Democrat ready for a strong woman to lead our country6

Turning our house into his own MARA-SHITHOLE 2. PEDO PALACE.

donnakcool.bsky.social4

It's embarrassing. He's pandering to his ignorant magamorons. Hitting other people and cheering is disgraceful. We're better than this stupid shit.

Rodney Wilson3

He's not leading us in a reading of the Declaration of Independence. Or giving us a lecture on U.S. history. Or taking us on a stroll through the National Archives to look at the founding documents. Instead, the buffoon is giving us Roman Empire gladiators and circuses. You are right -- a disgrace!

Lourdes I3

Oh, I'm sure it will only get lower and more depraved as the months go by. For instance, how about a stripper show in Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden that was paved into a concrete patio...

The MAD Centrist3

Julius Caesar had his games to distract the masses.

fritzee.bsky.social2

promoting violence 😡 disrespectful and disgusting

carolcregan.bsky.social2

Nothing says American values more than Neanderthals beating each other up in celebration of our 250th anniversary

Douglas Montgomery2

I hope it goes as well as Trump’s military parade. And for any consumer brand aligning with the Trump administration, it only damages the brand. Even the toothless demographic.

phoenixjag.bsky.social2

It is making me feel that I dont want to participate in the 250 birthday thing at all . Along with the idea of making it religious

Jackie C. @ Jackiegardens@bsky.social2

Agree. It is such an embarrassment.

TheOriginalMizD2

It’s a freaking carnival with all of the clowns 🤡 who are there..

cruisinfan.bsky.social2

Explain to me why he needs a ballroom with a bunker and yet he can have a fight on the grounds of the White House.

Magicman20

I keep saying - This country will be bankrupt soon. The money we pay in taxes is going towards things no one asked for.

curt58.bsky.social15

It'll be attended by the Jerry Springer class of people. The whole thing is nothing but a sh*t show.

Deborah Timms12

This pic made me throw up a bit in my mouth. Seriously. Circus is a kind description of this regime. I did NOT want Idiocracy to be a damned documentary.

🇨🇦❄️💧🔫🇨🇦11

This embarrassing move has to be the most severe case of TDS anyone has ever seen

reneedodson.bsky.social9

We have money this but not healthcare, seniors and children’s lunches

taurusbutterfly.bsky.social7

Will Trump be selling the Teslas again on what's left of the WH lawn?

Lee K6

Come on Americans enough of this guy's BULL💩!

The ordinary man6

Yet, we need a ballroom. What a freaking joke.

Lpeterp6

Who is PAYING for all these awful cage match trappings?

Beautifulone_25

this is so fucking embarrassing.

Christine - Fascism Is Evil5

It's a circus to feed the base. "Bread and circuses" (in Latin, panem et circenses) is a phrase coined by the Roman poet Juvenal around 100 AD. Juvenal used the phrase to criticize the general population of Rome for trading their political power and civic duties for basic handouts and entertainment.

trickytrev.bsky.social5

Elect a clown 🤡 and expect a circus 🎪 Elect a criminal and expect a crime spree! Elect a B rated actor and expect a 💩 show! Elect an evil corrupt business failure and expect him to bomb 💣 Iran for Netanyahu!

SpunkyByChance4

What? No rollercoaster? No ferris wheel? No merry-go-round?

Steamdust 📎4

Is the UFC covering all the costs, or are the tax payers picking up any part of the tab?

The Art Of Hobbes Prime4

Who exactly is footing the bill for this? Does the contractor employ anyone to do the heavy lifting whose immigration status might be questioned? What was the permitting process and how was the contract awarded? I don’t care about anyone’s immigration status, except as a means of pointing out the

BSheepleherder4

He's just the primary audience. What bothers me more are the sycophants and soulless hacks in Congress who are willing participants in the humiliation of what was once the most respected locus of economic, political, and military power in the world.

SMHeath4

Trump is noting but an attention whore. Everything is about ME, ME, ME, ME, ME.

bobthefrog.bsky.social4

Seems fitting to have the circus on the front lawn with all the clowns in the Whitehouse

nodietofworms.bsky.social4

Thank the 6 assholes on the SCOTUS and all the GOP senators for this. I expect to see them all in the front row, eating pork rinds, slugging beer, with painted faces. (also sporting their swastikas. )

The Gallaecian4

A global embarrassment. Yes, we are a shithole country.

Good Trouble3

What in a flea market is this?

crabbydeb.bsky.social3

We are living in "Idiocracy"

Corporal Bone Spurs3

Elect a clown, expect a circus....

Susan Behrens3

🎪 and Trump is the circus ringmaster

DAN3

Should of put up a circus tent he already has the clowns

Some Old Jewish Atheist3

Someone come and get this monkey!

Tammy E 🦋2

It's gross and tacky. It's like a small town carnival with freak shows.

Brok Windsor 🇨🇦2

A white trash sport for his white trash base.

Michael Wolfe2

All this shit is just going to worsen the pummeling Republicans are going to get in the midterms.

Sexy Husband2

I wonder if they will charge admission to the freakshow tent with Stephen Miller and RFKjr ?

Owenzowen2

Trump is such a weirdo!

JulesSpencerB2

It looks like an absolute pile of shite!

Adrian Owlett #FBPE #RejoinEU🇪🇺🇨🇵🇬🇧🇪🇺📎📎2

There have been several opportunities to do the right thing and rid the world of America's scourge. Instead, for no credible reason, America (the former Land of the Free) elected to do zip. So all the cries of national embarrassment are, sadly, meaningless. Shame on you all.

meems22

Low class all the way. We really hit the skids with this guy.

WookieeTaint18

As foretold in the prophesies.

They Say6

Trump is the epitome of the "Ugly American." This embarrassing UFC event celebrating Trump’s 80th birthday on June 14th—coincidentally "Flag Day"—demonstrates that the USA is shameless and terminally ill with a malignant capitalism.

Tim Carmody5

His EIGHTIETH birthday. Twenty-fifth would be sad but this is sadder

johnny3

Going to be so disappointing to see which big name athletes will be there

Banana3

Our country is being run by 6th-graders

June 14th, eh? He has a chance to do the funniest thing on June 13th...

Bigtone2

I just hope the next motherfucker can hit the side of a barn.

pcrritesgood.bsky.social2

A birthday present from every fucking tax payer in the country whether they wanted to get him something or not.

Brandi in Occupied Minnesota2

Everything he does is tacky.

ThE PReSidEnT nEEds BaLLrOom to KeeP hiMseLF sAfe!! As trump keeps doing events outdoors

Progressive Poet2

A USA Birthday Celebration of Violence The president’s home will have a big fight. Guys beat each other up with all their might. A tribute to our fighting spirit and adventure? No, it’s a brawl to entertain a crazy emperor.

Stranger In My Own Land 🐸2

At least it isn't a casino yet.

Skrappi🇺🇸🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸2

I want one idiot, just one with a brain cell to explain this. As tRump has had these "so-called assassination attempts" let's call it what it is. How are they going to secure this event. Put a damn dome over that too! and who's paying for this thing. Everything is for show and profit.

Ari2

Gas is $8 a gallon, but don’t worry, our tax dollars are going to good use!

Michael5

Fake wrestling for a fake administration Seems appropriate

darwin1800.bsky.social3

This is 'Trailer-trash' entertainment, for SADISTS. Which is why it suits Psycho Trump.

davidkc.bsky.social3

SO embarrassing. Our country sucks rocks.

Josephine Imperato2

Do you suppose the excitement will be too much for him? 🙏

✌️Bob ☮ (Old Man Hippy)💙30

A UFC event on the People's house lawn is just one more disgrace and blatant disregard for decency.

7thkkid.bsky.social28

But he’s only safe in a ballroom, amiright?🤦‍♂️

taurusbutterfly.bsky.social20

Couldn't Trump have gone to Vegas? Why does he keep trashing the White House?

DeepDiveCinema17

This doesn't belong on the property of the People's House. This is literally bread and circuses.

YvetteJR718☮️💙♋️ ♎️❌14

Our Country is a Worldwide LAUGHINGSTOCK. Unbelievable.

Tessa the Cat13

OMG, his taste is terrible! How is this not a gigantic security risk, especially for someone who's supposedly had THREE assassination attempts? everything is a bluster and a con with this man... it would be funny if he weren't hurting people all of his life

katherinemary.bsky.social12

This is an eye opening, alarming, and maddening thread!😞😡 But thank you for posting. I might add, that the MAJORITY of us, DO NOT WANT THIS!! 😡

KAT-EE8

Outrage doesn’t even begin to characterize my thoughts on this.

Ummm, if the production costs are expected to exceed 60 million, it is only because SOMEONE is getting looted blind.

evilpinecone.bsky.social8

Every time I see the estimates on his projects it seems blatantly obvious that whoever pitches the prices is having the time of their life with how obliviously disconnected he is. Like there is no reason a temp stage would cost even $1m. Nor repainting a pool. Nor lawn care...

shogsotg.bsky.social7

Trump wants to play Nero at Gladiator Games. Something...something fiddling.

mhoutchens.bsky.social6

All this so that McMahon isn’t the next woman ousted from her cabinet post. Disgraceful.

Lee K5

Americans want to be able to put food on the table, gas in the car and have dependable health insurance. Trump wants to spent Billions on his fantasy projects and reward Criminals he pardoned. ##TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Waste and Abuse of Taxpayer Funds

Callinectes Sapidus4

The GOP puts on clown shoes, picks up a flamethrower then boasts about owning thuh libs. You go guys.

KCresists4

No profit, so they are doing this out of the goodness of their hearts then? Sure they are …

Carrie ❌👑3

If he wants a big birthday bash, he should be doing it at Mar-A-Lago at his own expense, not at the people's house at the people's expense!

Holli Deloe (HD)3

It’s just tax payers money 😞- oh and it should be below a President to host an event like this on the lawn of the People’s House. But he does love loud and violent!

Tracey Headrick ❌👑2

Waste, fraud & abuse of taxpayer $. Shameful.

timplex.bsky.social2

You always appreciate a president who can bring the country together around an activity that 30% of the population enjoys and 50% find appalling. Because what is more exciting than fighting with fellow Americans?!

Keith2

Of course they won't make a profit. Whoever attends in person is free. The event is going to be on jumbotrons behind the White House also for free.

Debbie ❌️👑2

Waste of money - whether private donations or tax $. Think of how $60 mil could help folks with medical bills, rent, food,.....But - no - it's being spent on a day present in really bad taste for Trump!

Rebecca Williams2

Trash, trash, and more trash. 🖕Trump🖕

Sanho Tree14

I was on the South Lawn the last time they turned it into a carnival 28 years ago. At least Clinton gave us free food, rides, and an open bar. Plus guns!😂

What happened to all that White House safety talk?

Kuragari 8

Time to take the orange trash out of the White House.

Marc7

Would be a big shame if there was a massive all day rainstorm that day

Lance Ellisor6

this is exactly what the founders intended

Fats Falafel5

Iran has the chance to do the funniest thing.

Bill Walter4

A White House that embraces the spectacle of violence and domination. Not fascist at all. (sarcasm.)

Peter Principle4

Shouldn't the emperor's box be up high so every one can see him put his thumb down to signal that the winner should crush the other gladiator's throat?

Dave Keon's Cousin 🏒 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇬🇱2

It will get even dumber than this.

Bill K 🌻🐸2

I'm actually quite surprised he didn't knock down the White House for the UFC event venue.

The Hot Stepper2

That right there.. that will bring down my cost of gas and groceries. Lookin out for all of us. Narrator:

Josey Walker6

Next will be a tractor pull on the mall.

Rob4

Well... IMO it's not the trashiest thing he has done, but definitely goes on the list

Jay B Personne3

I just assume the former Rose Garden has outlets to plug in camper trailers.

drew®3

Meh, I think treating domestic terrorists as national heroes is probably a little higher on that list...

Silence Dogoode3

I mean....they ran health promos with a shirtless kid rock so there IS competition.

JQP2

and its a fairly low bar

flat5flat9.bsky.social3

This is an abomination. But I suspect it won't play as well as tRump thinks.

CatCmdr13

He desecrates every place that doesn’t belong to him…but to us.

Anne with an E32

No words for how much this shit pisses me off. People can't afford housing, groceries, gas or healthcare but sure, let's do this fuckery.

The Immortal Doom18

It’s going to take decades to scrub the stink off this country.

Jill9

Gross. Tacky. Infantile. Un-American. Unpresidential. Cheap. Tasteless. Garish. Inappropriate. Unsuitable. Wrong. Sleazy. Second-rate. Just like the intruder in the WH. FDT.

StopTheWorldIWantToGetOff6

So…it’s a free show since it’s on public property?

Conscientious Ice🧊6

The people's house has been turned into a circus 🎪 arena

Sanho Tree6

I was on the South Lawn the last time they turned it into a carnival 28 years ago. At least Clinton gave us free food, rides, and an open bar. Plus gunz!😂

Is this gonna be like the Olympics where they just leave that stuff up forever

EZGames694

I would laugh if this match had very little viewers.

Reda4

When will this hellish timeline course-correct? I try hard to avoid commenting on politics because I’d rather spend that energy calling my representatives, but this photo…wow. This is really where we’re at.

Democracy's Anger Translator4

Trump is bankrupting the country, slashing support for people who need it most, and choking the global economy — all while enriching himself, commissioning monuments in his own honor, and turning the White House into his personal amusement park.

Well that’s certainly more important than feeding the poor! Worst president EVER ‼️🤬

Now that he has his tacky gladiator arena (UFC), what's next? Chariot races (NASCAR)? Duels? Sword fights to the death? Insane in the membrane...

European perspective: American culture passed its zenith a long time ago. Downhill from here into the gutters of societal decay. #MAGA

There’s no bread, but man, do we have circuses.

Maybe we should invite the British back to burn it down ...1812 all over again 🙄

Now with dance mode!2

Tbf, the administration is on drugs 24/7, so I'm sure it doesn't make a difference to them. This is so stupid!

Fee Fee2

Well… shitty bar, shitty White House!

PhDsurfbum2

I am not a UFC fan, and I believe the only time I have ever seen it is on a TV at a shitty bar. You are correct, sir (I am a shitty bar fan)

And Pop-pop is excited to attend one and not the other
