Mary Trump - Fight Night
It is bordering on the impossible to keep track of everything that is going on in this country and in the world. I have to be honest with you, I have struggled at times to find the through line, to connect the dots, and to keep my eye on the overarching themes. But every once in a while, an event occurs that serves as an alarming distillation of where we are as a country.
A recent event that checks off those boxes was a UFC match held over the weekend. It serves as a microcosm for many of the dysfunctional, dangerous things that are unfolding in America in 2026 while we are in the middle of an unconstitutional illegal war of choice.
It is some of the people who attended this event I want to focus on because it helps us find that through line that is so difficult to uncover. Joe Rogan, who is one of those people responsible for getting Donald back into the White House in 2024, has recently been taking to his podcast to criticize Donald, especially in the context of his horrific immigration policies and, most recently, the aforementioned unconstitutional illegal war of choice in Iran. Joe Rogan showed up at this UFC event shaking hands with Donald, the guy he now pretends to claim should no longer be in the Oval Office. I know this probably seems unlikely, but I guess Joe Rogan was not entirely sincere in his criticisms.
And then that brings us to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was also at this event. He was looking sharp and sober, which is to say very inebriated. What was the Secretary of State of the United States of America doing at a UFC event while negotiations were going on between the United States and the country with which we are at war? Who was handling those negotiations? The entirely unqualified Vice President of the United States, J.D. Vance, a man not exactly known for his measured temperament or diplomatic skills, along with two grifters, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. One, again, who has no negotiating skills that I am aware of, and the other, Kushner, who has no official role in our government. Kushner just happens to be Donald’s son-in-law, and he happens to like taking money from Middle Eastern countries.
