Trump’s birthday plan to turn the White House South Lawn into an Ultimate Fighting Championship cage match now includes erecting an arena on the historic property—and holding the weigh-ins at the Lincoln Memorial.

Trump, a longtime fan of the UFC and its CEO, Dana White, had already been planning an extravagant, tacky event before confirming Monday that an arena is officially in the works.

“They’re building an arena, the great Dana White is building an arena,” Trump told reporters at the Kennedy Center Honors Monday night.

“The biggest fights they’ve ever had,’’ Trump said. “Every one’s a championship fight. And every one’s a legendary type of fight.”

1. This another Onion article?

I guess not, but it could have easily been one.

[Bayard]

2. OMFG!

What's he going to destroy now, besides the dignity of his office and this country? The Lincoln Memorial is on his feeble mind then its in trouble.

3. What, no strip club?

7. That's what he's got on tap for the Jefferson Memorial, I guess.

4. How many historic trees will they cut down for this?

It's certainly not in keeping with the dignity of the White House. Tacky, tacky, tacky.

6. More of Trump's rapist mindset

It's all about control, about domination and humiliation.

Trump can read (although he usually chooses not to).

He's seen the public reaction to tearing down the East Wing.

It only encourages him to think "What ELSE can I destroy, just because I can get away with it, and it will anger people?"

5. Idiocracy... The Handbook

Will they be handing out bottles of Brawndo to the first 1500 entrants?

[Disaffected]

8. Bread and circuses

for the MAGA masses except it's BYOB (B for bread).

9. WTF is THIS going to cost us?

🖕

10. WTF?! How big/small is this travesty going to be?!...

So I looked up smallest arena.

As far Sports go the Mullett Arena in Tempe AZ is a 5,000.
That's crazy.
( Traditional arenas run 5,000 - 20,000 )
Although The Ballroom - would it actually close to a small arena size?

Anyway I sure hope this doesn't happen, but afraid some crap will happen. 😑

11. And Republicans are okay with this

[Ilsa]

12. He is so tacky. Zero class.

Next he'll try to add dogfighting or cockfighting as warm-up events to his beloved bloodsport.

I hope blood gets sprayed all over him and Malignia's shoes.
