Was originally going to mention that but I didn't want anyone to think I'm crude. It could even be organic slaw...🤪

10. They are not doing a good job of either. But that is not what they care about. What they care about is Epstein denial

by Bryce Mitchell's courage and knowledge in his sincere answers to the questioner. WOW! That level of MOXIE and willingness to intelligently answer the interviewer and his wonderful committedness was a pleasure to watch! (I'm not a UFC fan, but my appreciation of that young man knows no bounds!) BRAVO to Bryce!

For just under $12,000, you too can buy a coin, “designed” by the president, celebrating the UFC Freedom 250 event.

For just under ,000, you too can buy a Trump-branded gold “medallion,” “designed” by the president, celebrating the UFC’s White House event.

This is not to be confused with Trump-branded shoes, guitars, Bibles, watches, digital trading cards, or phones. #grift

In the months leading up to Election Day 2024, when Donald Trump was ostensibly focused on his candidacy, the Republican launched a dizzying merchandising campaign, pitching everything from Trump-branded watches to silver Trump commemorative coins, batches of digital trading cards to a weird cryptocurrency project, and gold sneakers to Trump-endorsed Bibles....

MS NOW’s Jake Traylor and Soorin Kim reported Tuesday that there are Trump-branded “medallions” on sale, tied to this weekend’s UFC event on the White House’s South Lawn.

The souvenir gold and silver coins range in price from $249.99 to $11,999.99. That’s not a typo: A website called RealTrumpCoins.com is actually selling UFC Freedom 250 “medallions” that people can purchase for just under $12,000. (The website boasts that the coins were “designed” by the president himself.)

....To be sure, the scheduled UFC bout, set to coincide with the president’s 80th birthday, was already controversial, and not just because of the bizarre structure that continues to take shape at the White House. There have also been related questions about Trump’s stock purchase in UFC’s parent company before the upcoming match on the South Lawn.....

The $12,000 gold coins, however, take this mess to a new and unsettling level.

This week, a new lawsuit was filed alleging corruption in connection with the upcoming UFC event, with the hopes of derailing the plans for the gathering, and a judge is expecting a response by Tuesday. Watch this space
