Of fucking course he is.

Trump is turning the 250th anniversary of America's independence into A PROMOTIONAL EVENT FOR THE UFC.

It's a massive payoff for UFC CEO Dana White, who leveraged the UFC to rally support for Trump among young men.

1. Is THAT

why the fuck he paved over the Rose Garden? May the ghpsts of Eleanor Roosevelt, Dolley Madison, and Jackie Kennedy come and get him in his sleep!

2. Small people do tend to do the only they know how to do again and again and again.

"...the narrative magic of wrestling..."

"Trump is a showman who has long been a fan of the theatrics and grandeur of wrestling," says journalist John Hendrickson, who, in 2023, published an article in The Atlantic about how wrestling explains recent US history. "He is even a member of the WWE Hall of Fame. I believe the similarities between his rhetoric and that of many wrestlers are undeniable."

3. Shit! Might as well have Roman Gladiators while he's at it.

BARBARITY comes to the White House!

The People's House continues its degradation. First with gaudy gold leaf, an even gaudier ballroom addition, and now this! What's next? A ZOO? Already have one of them, but not on the WH grounds.

Oh wait! The current crew occupying the WH is a ZOO!

4. Oh God, why have you forsaken us?

6. Turns out it was our footprints all along.

7. It seems the favorite part for UFC fans like trump

is when the defeated kick boxer is lying motionless and unconscious on his back on the mat, and the winner gets to bare knuckle punch the loser in the temples to excite the fans, and to enhance the likelihood of CTE brain damage.

The Neanderthals run the White House now.

8. UFC is as phony as trmps hair and makeup. It all makes sense.

9. Idiocracy is a more accurate prophesy than Nostradamus or futurology

At SXSW 2023, Terry Crews reprises his role of PRESIDENT CAMACHO, the pro-wrestler/reality star turned POTUS who was a punchline in IDIOCRACY (2006), but now looks like a prophet for our times. And with Comacho in Austin, his royal buffness stops by the Den of Geek studio to explain Camacho's three-point plan to save USA when he's elected in 2024.

10. Stay classy, America

I'd pay to see Camacho in the ring with Putin.

[Initech]

11. Of all the people who could be honoring America's 250th birthday, we get that jackass. WTF.

[TommieMommy]

12. OMG 😳 this is crazy 😧
