Pentagon seeks troops to attend White House UFC fight, sets body standards

sportsMay 30, 2026241,995

The Pentagon asked units to nominate up to 1,200 service members to attend a White House-hosted UFC fight celebrating President Donald Trump's 80th birthday. An internal memo told commanders to submit only nominees WHO meet military height, weight and body-composition fitness standards before tickets would be issued. The requirement raises legal and military-ethics questions about deploying troops to presidential events and about selecting attendees based on appearance and fitness.

Pentagon is recruiting troops to watch White House UFC fights, but they can’t be fat or short. 🤦🏽‍♂️

It’s all about the optics for them…. Here he is from his first *birthday parade* 😂

Diedrich Bader85

He’s used the phrase “right out of central casting” in reference to people he’s going to hire for his administration a disturbing amount of times

Erica27

I would imagine they can’t have a vagina either.

So some are good enough to serve and put their life on the line in wars in foreign countries, but not good enough to attend a clown show/MAGAt choreographed reality TV event. What a fucken disgrace this administration is.

Grateful-1.bsky.social24

Where does 400+ lbs. Steven Cheung, Communications Director, fit into the mix here⁉️

John Burnham17

Not sure how the Department can mandate wearing uniforms - I mean, all of this is ridiculous but that seems unusually out of bounds…esp since they have to pay their own way etc…troops aren’t mandated to wear uniforms at other sporting events…why this one?

Eric Badofsky16

JFC. Imagine taking an oath to support and defend the U.S. Constitution, then allowing yourself to be trotted out like sideshow clowns in Trump’s private circus. The officers enabling this debacle are a disgrace to the uniform.

Eileen Schuyler14

Heard tonight that they also have to pay for their own tickets.

Darrin Hall14

And they can't have good taste in the company they keep.

MadGreek 🧿11

I would rather watch UFO fights!

BellaLetty10

How disgusting. As tho that fat asshole is so svelte.

Karen Starkie(Release the Epstein files)9

When hitler staged his big rallies he used the best looking example's of his people to display to the world how great he was.

girlhasnoname8.bsky.social9

Could these ppl be any more shallow?

JungGravy9

will Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho be there?

Sparky MD/PhD8

Seems like a mass shooting set up. Or a bomb. These bozos don’t take safety seriously at all. Setting up a roller coaster size structure next to the White House? Who set it up. Was every worker screened? Doubt it with these clowns.

JannieJo8

Just the SS-style Aryans then? Will Leni Reifenstahl be filming?

Hanni7

This smells of can't sell tickets so force the troops to attend - the same folks that had to go watch "Melania".

The Best Words6

LOL. They need to be from Central Casting, and they need to pay their own way. President POS.

Doug6

Sounds like something from 1939 Germany.

tsoprano.bsky.social5

Only physical specimens that epitomise the aryan race.

Ace Combs Art5

Dress uniforms in DC in July? Thank you for your serv--hey, you ok?

Democratic Free Press4

Why is Trump co trolling what these men wear- propoganda

Deirdre4

The absurdity over this bc the president of the united states is a fat pig

keebl3r4

All while the Commander in Chief is a gluttonous fat fuck.

bluebooks13.bsky.social4

That’s so weird that he’s going to have a captive military audience. It’s kinda like a hostage situation, right? He so gets off on forcing the military to do what he wants.

Very 🫘4

No fatties, shorties or uggos. And especially no chicks. (But maybe if they’re hot.)

Brian Wilcox4

Props. Members of our military are nothing more than props for this draft dodger. He thinks we'll forget that when it was his time to serve, he got his daddy to buy a "get out of military service" card.

kath-55-1.bsky.social3

And they must pay their own way! Who the fuck wouldcwant to go?

Franklin MacDougal 🐾 🫘🐸🤘3

Sounds like something the Nazis would do. Only the tall, blonde, handsome ones!!!🤔

Rob Baron3

But you can attend if you're an obese president with rotting flesh

hoefjes.bsky.social3

Dictator style. Next is you need to cry hard enough on his demand.

☘️Shamrock☘️3

Trump wants some hot men in uniform to admire

Build the Matriarchy3

I think he likes looking at big men.

Ryan Cowell3

I guess that means JD can't go

Jeanie3

This would rule out trumpton and all his cronies.....? 🤷‍♀️

paws4justice.bsky.social3

Is this giving anyone aryan vibes?

Sister of Wendy #AbolishICE 🐸3

Bread & circuses are only for the most loyal tall & thin service members.

Susan3

This is so Nazi-ish! Anyone who participates in this embarrassing fiasco, will surely regret it.

Just Steve2

But we can have a bloated fat orange turd there?

Anyone else tired of thinking “You can’t make this stuff up”?

(📢) BREAKING NEWS: Pentagon Announces "No Fatties" Rule for White House UFC Fight Audience But Declines Rule Banning Convicted Felons, Adjudicated Rapists, Accused Serial Domestic Abusers, Alcoholics, Insurrectionists or Men Who Steal Classified Documents

UPDATE: The Pentagon also warmly invites to the Octagon men who wear makeup daily, men with repeated bankruptcies (no limit), pedophile enablers, men who run fake charities and/or universities, draft-dodgers, and any who consider American soldiers "losers and suckers." But NO FATTIES.

Swanky Somm III11

But he does fit the profile of the fatties. So is he in, or is he out?

Unity In Defiance9

Like I already said 👇 bsky.app/profile/unit...

ToddRockford7

So, the tickets weren't selling?

FilmAlicia7

That excludes Trump, Cheung and Vance, who are all the opposite of Whiskey Pete’s masculine ideal.

bkglennon.bsky.social6

So the president’s not going?

MJ4

Trump couldn’t pass the standards set for service members under him.

CatCmdr14

Too bad tRump won’t be able to attend, then…

Grateful-1.bsky.social3

This is A BEYOND BIZARRE SHIT SHOW‼️...Who is the Host of it -- 400 lbs.+ Communications Director Steven Cheung 😱⁉️

sarahschatz.bsky.social3

Somebody has got to file a lawsuit, this is too good an opportunity to mess up his birthday.

whatamysays.bsky.social3

That eliminates a lot of Congress and the president

Jim in Oregon🇺🇸🇨🇦🇫🇷🇺🇦🇪🇺2

smh, have you seen the dumpster we have for POTUS?

Babs2

Well then trump cannot attend if no fatties allowed

m-east52.bsky.social2

“No Fatties”? I thought 47 was going to be front & center.

Femke2

No fatties! So Donald, start a crash diet, or else!!

TediZ2

This regime is ONE BIG UGLY REALITY SHOW FOR THE AMERICAN MAGA CULT.

Boxfaced2

No fatties means no Dump!

BrownEyedGirl_Lei✌️2

So fucking vain. And Trumpy is the fattest ass of them all.

Jean R2

Guess Trump can’t go. LOL

HonestlyNo 🇩🇰2

i guess Trump will have to catch the highlights on tv then..

joeira.bsky.social2

That’s the military I remember! No matter how qualified you are the question is “do you meet height and weight standards?” I always thought a fat guy that could shoot would be better than someone tat could run. They always said (loudly), “If YOU cannot shoot the ARMY does NOT need you!” Ah memories

Front/tier2

Send in the squeaky tanks stat.

CubbieBear724 ✌️😷💉2

So no yam tits, yay!

You can't say it's not a clown show, when trump's turning it into a circus...
