UFC CEO Dana White has a 100% lack of awareness or interest RE: Trump's "event" desecrating the W.H.

You can read his comments on the event here: https://www.yahoo.com/sports/articles/inside-ufc-60-million-made-120500363.html

He basically says that he's going to lose $30 million but sees it as "a strategic investment to drive subscriber acquisition at Paramount+."

He goes on at great length and does not for one second allude to the complete lack of dignity that this self-indulgent mess projects.

It'll be too hot or a security risk, so he'll have to watch from the Oval Office.

Good time to remind people to cancel Paramount +

Dodge Ram Trucks is also featuring Dana White in a commercial promoting this abomination .. so boycott Dodge too.

Canâ€™t be repeated enoughðŸ‘‡ðŸ½

Just so insane
